I've been through one. Never getting married again. Thank God we didn't have any kids. I'm way better off, have much more money and I don't have to worry about my significant other banging black guys behind my back.

Man not a good fact pattern at all. You need to get some help with the drinking for yourself. If it took that long to chat and lock her down, and you embarrassed her within 2 years it’s not a good sign. Plus her family probably hanging up against you.
Get some help and start to prepare to be single.

Sounds like y’all need counseling too, good grief.

Get a hot new young girlfriend, you won't have time to think about the divorce with all the fricking you'll be doing.

My wife would be homeless

I am as pessimistic as one can be. But if no one is cheating and both are really willing to try. And if you can get help w your issues I would not even mention the word divorce.
Quit drinking, period. It is terrible for anxiety and depression anyway. Plus it will be an outward sign to your wife

Well I suspect some underlying mental health issues with my wife, so maybe i shouldn't have chimed in on this thread. Don't mean to derail. But yeah - I pay collectively for every wrong (real or perceived) that I've done since we were engaged. But we have kids, so I muddle through.
Edit - I have a lot of built up frustration so when I see marriage threads I tend to use those to vent about my own situation. Probably not helpful to anyone but myself. I think the way I read his "i didn't even realize it was that big a deal" triggered me bc that's my entire reality

TigerDeacon, I have been around here long enough to remember your wife. I have often wondered why I haven’t seen her on here in so long. I am sorry that you and your child had to go through this. I know, as someone who has been in recovery for alcohol abuse since 1995, the horrible damage drugs and alcohol can have on a family. I hope you and you child are doing well and I pray that your ex-wife gets the help she needs. Best to you and God Bless.
I appreciate the kind words but as far as I know my ex has never posted here. I know she had someone stalking my posts for info on me but I don't know that she ever posted herself.
Edit to add: That being said, I have posted about my first marriage on here several times so you probably remember the story.

You’re probably right.
Probably? Doesn't sound like you're really accepting the consequences of your drinking. You need to accept how damaging this behavior is to you and those around you and make changes. Not blacking out isn't enough. It's time to put down the bottle completely and stop drinking. You need to be in some kind of treatment program...at the very least, AA.

Oh, my! I’m not sure why I thought a certain poster was your wife. I didn’t mention her user name as I thought it would be inappropriate. Now I’m truly happy I didn’t mention who I thought she was. Im sorry for my mistake, but I still wish you and your child the best and I hope your ex straightens out her life. It’s a difficult situation.

No worries.
I'll withhold comment on her current condition but the child and I are doing well. It's been over 8 years now since we made the break.
Thanks again for the well wishes!

Sadly she has probably moved on with someone else…. And yes, divorced twice….. you will get over it. One day you will look back and wonder why you let it devastate you.

Self reflect, sure. But what good is dwelling in the past? Hey you screwed up.. Fix it, do better and move on. But one mistake doesn't define a person. I'm not going to keep paying for sins I've committed and repented for, for the rest of my life.

I did divorce work when I first started practicing. When a woman says she is done its over. The sexes process things differently but that means she has gone through her process and made a decision. AT the same point for men its like an anvil fell out of the sky and landed on their head, just didnt see it.
Exactly my situation 8 years ago.

Hey man I saw it every day AND it still happened to me!
