I'm DONE with Marriage... | |
jusme User ID: 8725883 United States 01/12/2012 09:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Well, I can say with certainty now, it is officially over. Quoting: Blue Dwarf We've had some really heart-to-heart conversations over the past 24 hours (neither of us has really slept much), and came to the conclusion that the marriage is beyond saving. I stated my case, and let her know that I wanted to try and save the marriage, but she is not budging. It's over. Put a nail in the coffin. Now it's time to work in the details and look to the horizon. It hurts right now, but I know good things are around the corner for me. They have to be. If you are both willing....your marriage can be saved, and you can have a whole, complete, fulfilling life. Jesus is the only way. I have been married once, to one man, for over 48 years, and we never could have been happy or even stayed together without the personal, saving relationship with Jesus. He saves us, not just to go to heaven, but to live this life successfully and to make our marriages strong and complete. It's the only way. |

When the hurt really starts to roll in, it will sustain you and help you not fall back wards, and back toward her. Yes. things can and will get better. Time heals all wounds. |

If you catch her in the arms of another man you have a legitimate reason for divorce and you wont have to pay a cent! Then you can go to Thailand or the Philippines & You won't even Remember Your Bitter Ex-Wife's Name Anymore Your New Wife will treat you like a King! Good Luck Whatever Happens |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1550123 United States 01/12/2012 11:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 12 years isn't exactly "going the distance." Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6313471 Considering all those things you mentioned that never even happened, it doesn't really sound like the relationship is damaged beyond recognition, I mean really. It sounds like far worse could be the case. There are always times in a relationship when we feel like we fall out of love. That's why love is more than is what is required to make a relationship last. Unfortunately, in western society in particular, people have this unrealistic fantasy, movie-version idea about what marriage is supposed to look like, and all that lovey-dovey crap. But real love involves doing, and not just feeling...it involves sticking though the shit, even when we feel like we want to strangle a person. It's getting through the hard times, because ANYBODY can get through the easy times. It's being there even when we don't want to be. And your character will grow all the more just for doing it. Imagine if a real tragedy happened to one of you, like an accident or a disfigurement, or if one of you got sick...would you abandon the relationship as a result? This is no different, in that you are both being confronted with a crisis in the relationship. And one, or both of you, are sick (emotionally, relationally, etc.) and it's affecting your relationship with each other. There's obviously a huge communication problem in your relationship. You may want to consider couples counseling to at least hash some of these things out. Yep, there's definitely a huge communication problem right now. It wasn't always like that, but there is now. I was always against marriage counseling, etc. But now that I find myself in this situation, I'm more than willing to try it, and see if it works for us. Try it. The worse case scenario is it ends but you get to know yourself better. But maybe counseling can save her from making a big mistake and get herself back into reality. Maybe she is having a midlife crises like many men have when they leave their wives for younger women and get a sports car. And then they realize they still aren't happy. I knew a guy who before getting married a second time went to marriage counseling FIRST with his girlfriend because he was so scared of having problems again. They have been married now for 12 years, work together and have a child and are very happy. And people do change with time and communication is the key. So is being able to adapt. |

Although she did make a comment once to our daughter... "Make sure you marry into money..." I was standing in the same room when she said that. It hurt. She is just pissed at herself and is taking it out on the people around her. That is normal. It is a hard dose of reality when you have to realize you have made your reality. She really needs counseling because she will leave you and realize she made a mistake a try to come back. But of course it then may be too late. And everyone thinks money will make things better but when they get it they realize they may have everything they 'think' they want but are still miserable. We see this all the time with the rich and famous when they think 'is this all there is?'. She needs to find peace and happiness within herself because seeking it outside will never work. I feel for her(and you of course)because she is really miserable and will stay that way until she finds contentment within. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1550123 United States 01/12/2012 11:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My wife used to watch mtv. So i cancelled the cable. Haven't had tv in five years. You have to manage your woman, dude. Not like a redneck dickhead but as the leader of the family sometimes you need to make decisions that benefit everyone's ultimate welfare. If she bitches, so what. She'll get over it. And if she doesnt then syonara sucker. Have a nice life. Some things require a fatalistic attitude. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2066288 Some modern day brainwashed chicks may not agree with my methods and same with wimpy ass femenized dudes. But if i let my wife run the show we'd be destitute in debt. My boys would be gay. And my daughter would be a slut. Thats just the hard facts. A woman's perception base is not the same as a man's. And perhaps, just perhaps, a man's understanding of the big picture is more accurate. I don't see guys reading cosmo as a source of enlightenment. As a result of assuming head of household, my family is completely debt free, minus cell phone bills. Our cars and house are paid for outright. Our kids are outstanding individuals that exercise good judgement and take zero amount of shit from anyone including their teachers. They will be leaders in their community as adults. So maybe her downward spiral into manchurian tv brainwashing is simply a reflection of your choice to not take your position as leader of the family. Enforce a moral code. Set clear and consistant standards for everyone, including your wife. Life and family life is not a bobbleheaded happy go lucky drift through time. It requires work, attention to detail, and duty. All of these things are a manifestation of love. Follow this path, with tenderness, and your wife will feel secure and protected. She will respond in ways you cant imagine. Im married 7 years now and my wife jumps on me every night. She has nothing to fear or stress. She is healthy for no television. Instead we read books and take walks. I listen to her chatter endlessly about everything on her mind. Tv kills families and marriages. So does facebook. Good luck. Now that is great. So many men just don't understand a woman just needs to talk and a man just needs to listen to her which is hard. Women are emotional creatures and need a man to listen and not fix things unless she asks him to. And getting rid of the TV and taking walks is awesome. You have learned well. Someone raised you right or you are just very smart. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1550123 United States 01/12/2012 11:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm also done with serious, and long-term relationships. Quoting: Blue Dwarf I'm taking a break from you women. There's a very good chance I'll be getting a divorce. Soon. I'll admit, I'm not the most perfect person, and I'm also not the most "perfect" husband. We all have our faults. BUT, I'm not a drunk/drug abuser, I never abused her physically/mentally, not did I ever fuck any other women. "So why are you getting a divorce then," you might ask? That's a very, very good question. My wife has been living in a reality fantasy world for the last 5 years or so. She literally comes home from work, plops her behind on the couch and goes through the routine of watching these shitty "reality" shows night after night. She wishes she was one of those millionaire housewives, who have access to lots of $$$, fancy cars, and opportunities to travel abroad, and rub elbows with the elite. I'm a simple man of modest means. I'm not a materialistic person. I don't chase the money. Never have, never will. I don't need a fancy car, or the big house. Just give me internet access, some books to read, a few games/movies, and I'm set. Do I have the greatest job in the world? I think I do. I'm a cook, hoping to one day become a chef (still a long ways off). I work a lot of hours and hardly make a dime, but I'm happy, and that's all that matters. Her words have stuck with me since we got together. "Baby, I don't need money. I just want us/you to be happy. That's all that matters to me." How quickly she changed her tune. Yes, people change over time. People grow out of love. But this one is just frustrating. She says one thing, and does another. Her favorite trick is to avoid confrontation all together, and then one day when it begins to boil over, she just let's it all out, completely dumping on me and taking me by surprise. And here I thought things were good. I'm just ranting now, probably not even making sense. I feel like I can't trust anyone right now, especially the female. I really wish someone would have knocked some sense into me, and talked me out of the idea of marriage before I got myself too deep into it. It's turned out to be the biggest mistake of my life. It hurts too. Marriage sucks, and it especially sucks to watch someone you've been with for 12 years change so drastically and become so shallow, and selfish. Don't trust a woman. Ever! Glad to know you know. It's not just the American women or women from Western countries. It is global. I was close to getting married to an Indonesian girl, but I woke up just in time. It would have been the biggest mistake of my life. Move on and you'll be fine. It is global because TV and movies have become global and shape the way TPTB want us to act. Romance novels are also poison. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 6603089 Finland 01/21/2012 01:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | here are a few words of wisdom: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 8710135 all you say below is true. But what is often ignored are the true nature of 'sex drive' which our entire modern society seems to be obsessed with. Most animals do not have sex more than a few times a year. Humans have convinced themselves that sexual gluttony is perfectly natural and healthy when it most certainly is not. Having sex a few times a year would be considered shameful by most people according to our current value system. But it's not unlike most unhealthy habits, the more you do it, the more you want. And it is part of the 'women empowerment' movement because the simple fact is there is not much else women have to offer men- and the other simple fact is they rely on everything from us. Their traditional charms and enticements have been completely abandoned in favor of this bitching, whoring, sex-machine type that never lives up to the advertisements. therefore: you want to be happy, don't buy into this sex-crazyness that is shoved down your throats 24/7. Ever notice how often on TV they have to mention explicitly how often this or that couple is having sex? it's not by accident. just put it down, work on your own happiness. try to avoid negative emotions and negative outlooks. Don't let these horrible women run your life. Avoid them- they only can have influence over you if you let them. In the USSR when people were asked, which things were important for them, sex came only sixth or something like that. They valued more their loved ones, being civilized, education, moral values, hard work and good friendly atmosphere. The socialist system wasn't that materialistic than western model. |

I too have been dealing with a somewhat similar situation, but instead of TV I have GLP to blame. She is totally and utterly obsessed with this site and spends day in and day out on here!! It has consume her total being. Hello Steve!? What are you doing on here...ha ha ha! LMFAO! Now go get a beer and watch your football game like a good hubby. |

Of course when their wives divorce them these men claim to have done nothing wrong and didn't deserve it. The women (and men) hurt by these blind fools know otherwise though. If she wont leave fantasy land and live a real life with you, divorce her and move on. Alone at first if need be, but keep your eyes peeled for another opportunity, just don't obsessed over finding it and you'll find your peace. |

Don't be a promise breaker, you can choose to let love cover her sin. Marriage is choosing to love. Don't give up OP just a season of your life, as long as you choose to love, this frustrating season will pass. I pray for you.
