Got divorced

Post by Steinmetzify »

This is my ‘home forum’ as far as it goes.

I’ve met some of you guys etc.

Just wrecked right now. 15 years, she’s the most beautiful sexiest woman I’ve ever seen. Legit she’s that bad.

It’s a thing, she wants different shit, I do too.

Just need some forum help.

I miss her, I miss all of that. I hate this. It’s been 15 years of my life, and it’s all different now. It sucks.














Fuck.

Breakups and divorce are depressing, complicated and sometimes ugly. Look forward to what inspires you and stand firm. Nothing is ever easy but having a good positive energy will help you. It’s about you now. Take care of yourself, everything else will fall into place.

I went through this over a year ago man. Separated, but still not divorced because she dragging her heels. I thought my world was over. Came to realize she was not all that and I was better off without her. Much better off. Have since met my soulmate, and we've been together for almost eleven months now. I couldn't be happier, except for the fact that my ex is an evil bitch who won't go away, even though splitting up was her idea.

All I'm saying is, it seems bad now. It seems like the absolute worst, and the end of the world. But, it's not. Things have a habit of working out for the best.

Damn. I am so sorry Stei. Keep your head up and trudge forward. Take some small solace in the fact that you really have no other choice.

Sorry, brother. Breakups suck, no matter the length of time, but the longer it gets the harder it is to see the other side of the breakup. I know it won't help now, but there is something on the other end of it. What that is will be up to you.

Not much I can add but I am so sorry for you. The pain must be awful. Hang in there. You are one of the good ones and I am sure anyone on GGF would gladly talk or help you with anything that you need.

Very sorry to hear it man. Sounds like it was time and hopefully this means the next phase is a truer one.

I know it's heavy right now but I also know you've survived way worse, brother. To new beginnings, my friend. Are you considering taking that NV job?

Sorry to hear, man. Since you still have feelings for her this will be hard, but focus solely on yourself going forward. You are no longer her support system and vice versa. Don't be rude, spiteful, intentionally mean, but do stand firm in building yourself back up and only worrying about your well being.

Kind of like the instructions about fitting your oxygen mask first on a plane. You cannot help anyone, and only risk damaging yourself, when putting her needs over yours. When the time is right you can resume being strong for others.

^ what Dave said. Think long term. It's hard, man.

Also, definitely not discouraging you from posting about it, but be self aware, know your emotional vulnerability, and be careful not to overshare and regret later.

Hang in there. I've been through it too.

Fuck, I’m sorry to hear this Scott. Dave’s got some good healthy advice. Christ, typing that sentence felt weird. But seriously, while it’s gonna suck, focus on yourself for a bit and build yourself back up.

Sorry to hear, that is not an easy thing at all. Some solid advice in this thread for sure, hope you can find some comfort and take care of yourself in this time.

Damn sorry to hear, Scott. I am going through a rough patch in my marriage myself, and while I am hopeful we can work it out, I am also preparing for the worst in case we don’t. It’s a strange place to be in.

But what Dave and Loop said, focus on that. 15 years is a long time (also as long as I’ve been with my wife though we’ve not been married that long), so the adjustment will take a minute. Focus on yourself.

So sorry to hear, Scott. 2 years into mine right now. Best advice I can give you is to get with people who can help you heal and deal with the grieving/loss, because pain will patiently wait for you if you try to avoid it.

I appreciate you guys.

Seriously.

I appreciate all the love and advice; even Dave stepped up. Our little boy is growing UP! JK Dave. Seriously though that was some real shit, thank you.

Seriously, I wanted this woman for like 17 years before we got together. I broke up with a 6’ NASCAR model for this woman.

It’s been 15 years and my life is completely different without her. All the differences make all the difference. I’m just wrecked right now.

I KNOW all the things I need to do. I need to work out, make more $$ and come up and I will. I can’t do anything else, I don’t know how. All I can do is win.

The thing that fucks with me is for the last 30+ years she’s been my future and now she’s part of my past.

No matter what I do, the movies I see, where I eat, the clothes I buy, the cars and trucks I purchase, the home I buy next, she’s no part of any of that.

It’s fucking with me hard.

I appreciate you guys. I know what I have to do and I’ll do it, in part thanks to you guys.

Thanks fellas. This is exactly what I wanted when I posted this here.

Thanks.
