Because of Morgan City. Got stationed there in the Coast Guard. She lived Houston her whole life. She was going to move with me but saw how Morgan City looked and decided to stay in Houston. Long distance didn't work out for us and we broke up after trying to make it work.

Men: Why did your last relationship end?


She chose separation. She chose to not go to marriage counseling while separated, even though initially she said she would. Furthermore, she chose divorce. And she chose to end our friendship.

She was the train's conductor. And I was along for the ride.

Do you want to get back together?


Absolutely, not. I will always respect her as the mother of our children, and from a distance, I wish her well.

I do not want, need, or desire to be a friend to her. She became involved with someone prior to our marriage officially ending, and has been with him since, which showed me what I needed to see about her intentions and commitment to the 24 years we had committed to one another.

I am not bitter, upset, mad, or angry. I am indifferent towards her. It has taken me a long time to get here, but I have found peace and acceptance.

Did you give him great sex? If so, he misses you. Did you break his balls constantly? If so, he doesn’t.

If you did both, you probably done ruin’t him. Which means he’ll likely come here for advice, and that won’t work out well for anyone.

That woman was bat-shite crazy and my daughter had reason to believe she was planning to kill me.

No, I don't think I want to get back together with her, although the sex with that crazy woman was fantastic.

She would cancel plans last minute too much. I'm married now so no not at all.

Yours sounds like mine. 15 years together, 11 years married. She came to me one evening and said she didn’t want to be married anymore. I wasn’t sad, I didn’t try and change her mind, I just got my own apartment and moved on.

When I was going through it, one of my coworkers who is in his 60’s told me the scariest thing about being single is you get used to it.

I know what he means now. I’m finding my peace. No bitching. No fighting. I don’t feel guilty about doing anything for myself anymore.

At 44 I’m done with relationships. I don’t want anyone else’s problems in my life, and frankly I don’t think it’s fair to put my problems on someone else.

Got back together with ex-girlfriend.

Married for 30+ years, so I guess I made the right choice.

At the time, I didn't want a divorce. I wanted to go to counseling. She had my attention, but by the time she had my attention, she was mentally, emotionally, and physically checked out. She saw only one path forward, and that was divorce.

I remember talking with my counselor one day. He asked me to invite her to a session. It wasn't going to be a couples counseling session. It was simply a session of having my best friend there with me, and it was going to be designed for me to listen (and actually do so) and try to see things from her perspective. She didn't show up. Instead, she attended a co-worker's birthday party. I walked in to meet with my counselor, and he said, "Where is she?" I let him know, and he said, "You are going to be divorced." I said, "I don't want to be divorced." He said, "it doesn't matter what you want, she is going to divorce you." It got my attention. That's when I finally understood what he had been telling me for months before ... "Watch her actions, that will tell you all you need to know."

Today, I understand this. I am at peace. Yes, at time I miss my best friend, but that is the price we pay for loving and committing ourselves to someone.

Trying to find someone around this same age with the same mindset is going to be tough, because relationships are built on moving forward, or they get stagnant.

I want companionship, but I am not in a hurry. I know what I want, and what I require, and what I won't accept. Whether I find it or not, I know that I will be okay, because I am okay right now.

My ex wife, while a stay at home mom with a 3 and a 5 year old decided that she would be better off with her homeless, unemployed, alcoholic second cousin. Out of the blue, she asked for a divorce, no reason other than she’s changed. A week later I caught them in bed together.

It kicked off 13 years of misery until the hobosexual croaked a long, painful death in 2021. She was a completely different person while with him, actually, downright evil. By 2021, she lost all legal custody to the kids, only had supervised visits, owed over 10k in child support, and had a restraining order against her to stay away from me.

3 years after his death, she is back to the woman I married and fell in love with. It was like the scene in the Temple of Doom where short Round knocks Indy out of his trance.

No way will I get back together with her as her decisions showed she is not relationship material. I just feel a lot of sadness for all of us as it was clear she got herself in an abusive, trauma bond relationship and really fricked over the kids. It was a massive waste for all of us. I moved on and remarried 9 years ago.

If she was looking for an adventure, it sounds like she got it. Probably a lot of unintentional camping outdoors, right?
