When life blindsides you and kicks you in the nuts (angsty whining warning)

[Kevlar Eater]

For what it's worth, we've agreed to divorce. She's going to just pack whatever she can into a couple of suitcases, get on a plane, and go to Canada (where she's from and has family). She said "I don't want your money. You need it more than I do. I never wanted to hurt you, I just can't do this anymore. I hope you get rich, I hope you find someone who's more like you, I hope you move back to Boston and I hope you're happy when you get there."

Basically, "you're a great guy, just not for me."

So I'm divorced. Where da ladies at, yo?

Seems like you made a clean break from a relationship that was more or less destined to fail. *cradle robber lol. kidding* I think it was pretty awesome that she let you keep everything, whereas the modern woman would want everything and then some from a divorce. I'd suggest doing some budgeting from that divorce moment forth and concentrate on your education, and if you have the opportunity, your appearance (since you seem a little vain in my opinion). I believe the sex can wait a little while, and I bet the flesh hole would feel all the better when you're in a more comfortable situation (finished education, job that uses your expertise, etc.).

Wow...umm, welcome to the Escapist?

Foxx and I actually argued about how she treated you online. I always liked you, but she loved to rip you online and off. Part of why we're splitting up is that I could never stand the way she treated people she decided she didn't like (and when I had that cannon pointed at me, I wasn't terribly surprised by it.)

What did she think of me?

Nah, I think it's just Seabutcher, because he's creepy and stalks people, Jedi, because she's bffz with Seabutcher, and me because I was really interested in the whole situation. I don't think Seabutcher gave the link to anyone else and I know it hasn't been posted anywhere on GameFAQs.

I've learned one small thing about love in my short life.

"If you love something, let it go. If it never comes back, it was never yours. If it comes back, its yours forever."

Not that I am anywhere NEAR qualified for marital advice... I would say a trial separation, don't pressure her to come back. Let her decide when she sees how its like without you there.

It's how I got one of my best friends to come back. After a sexual indiscretion with her, she didn't want to talk to me. I apologized all the time, tried to win her back. Then I remembered that quote. A couple weeks later... got a text from her and now we are friends again.

If you love your wife, you'll want her happy, no matter if you can do that for her or not. Its tough, as I'm sure you know. Do the trial separation, see how it plays out.

As much as I hate myself for suggesting this (being Catholic and all) you could go for separation rather than full blown divorce. I think they're two different things...

EDIT: Looks like I'm too late posting my suggestion.

Little too late for that. She's moving back to Canada before Christmas---we're officially filing the papers on Friday. No amount of "trial separation" or attempts at reconciliation will change her mind---she does NOT want to be married anymore (to me or anyone else.)
