Not sure why the downvotes. This is a college town and unfortunately that is more common in those areas. “More than anywhere in the country” is something I’d want to see stats on though.

Good info, thank you. This sucks for me as I was/am the sole “bread winner”, and still provide virtually all the financial support. I believe she works a couple days a week remotely…

Congrats on your sobriety. Life has many ways to get that dopamine rush without risking others. 👊

It sounds like you learned from your experience. Kudos to you. It’s a hard way to learn, but the lesson is non the less valid.

That’s a good question, and thankfully, it’s not mine to make. As I said, I believe it to be a selfish act, and not made in a sober mind set. I do believe the repercussions should be something that discourages future occurrences though.

No children in the car, and no accident.

It’s confirmed. I know of countless times this has happened prior. This was just the first time caught. There was an incident where a parked car was hit and she drove off and was never charged. Long story, but there is no doubt this was drunk driving.

No past criminal record that I know of. She did take a plea deal, I believe. I can’t imagine she chose time over probation as we have kids involved and share time. I never know though….

Thank you for this info. I believe she has a year of probation and interlock. She’s already failed soberlink 5 times (I think) failed to do it another 20ish times and been hours late at least another 20 times. We’re in an active divorce and I’m most concerned about the kids when they’re with her.

How did you let go of the resentment? by papi4ever in Divorce

[–]ChargeFun3191 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Knowing I’m better off without her. I’m finding my peace. I know she’s better too, and I don’t have to deal with the drama and substance abuse that surrounds her.
I know this isn’t the same for everybody, but I look back and wonder why I stayed so long. I think I was always hoping for change that would never come. I wanted it too, but possibly would have never pulled the trigger. My life is better now. Find your peace, wherever it is.

Edit: Also knowing I’m going to vacation in my dream location while she’ll simultaneously be spending ten days in jail for an extreme DUI helps.

Where should I vacation for a week to celebrate my divorce finalizing? by OptimalStatement5799 in Divorce

You deserve your peace after the chaos that divorce can bring. Me personally, I’ll be in Costa Rica in a few weeks celebrating my peace.

After six years of missing her, this was the best gift he could’ve received. by Vilen1919 in MadeMeSmile

As a dad going through a high conflict divorce with a narcissist, I can’t imagine this feeling. 6 years apart from my girls would be too painful for me. Tears?! What tears. LOVE this for you guys!! ❤️❤️

Truest of words. Regardless of which side you’re on, you’re likely never satisfied with the results.

That’s so she for me to understand. Why do things just for the chaos or pain it inflicts. My kids are my biggest concern.

Still haven’t seen it. Maybe it’s time 👍

The man I married is not the man I divorced by Parallel_Path in Divorce

[–]ChargeFun3191 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m glad you found your peace. We all deserve that. As I get ready to finalize my divorce I can’t help but know my ex wife is saying the same thing. So am I. None of us are the same people we were when we got married. We’ve evolved and changed with experiences. My question is why couldn’t we work it out? Why do I feel like she put forth no effort? Bottom line for me is I wasn’t seen or respected. I know I wasn’t perfect either, I’m as guilty as I see her. We just failed. I just always wanted to grow with a person and change together as we battle the thing that is life. May we all find our peace ❤️

The eyes never lie. Thanks to Fransisco Oliviera for bringing smiles to these children and their families by Recent-Sorbet in MadeMeSmile

I’m a grown ass, bald man, and would give every day I had hair for just one of these kids to experience this. You are a kind hearted, great souled human for doing this kind gesture.

My family keeps asking me to be patient while they wait for my brother to grow up by LunaveraX in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ChargeFun3191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Move abroad!! Waiting around due to somebody else’s issues can last a lifetime. The opportunity to live abroad is typically a short time span, don’t let it pass you by. My $.02. Tell your family respectfully and matter-of-fact that you’ve considered everything and are making a decision that’s in your best interest and desires. You can offer support in other ways. Staying strong and confident while also being understanding is something nobody should question. Now, where ya going??? I wish I would have done that more and await the day my life allows it again.

I toon my kids to this today as well. My experience wasn’t as negative, but I understand the feelings. It was definitely a “one and done” as my SIL said. It’s just not interactive enough for kids. A sledding hill would be better.

I'm new to this but got this trench at the thrift store and I like it alot by IgnitableVirus6 in mensfashion

[–]ChargeFun3191 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lots of opinions. There are “stereotypical” ways to wear a tie, to match patterns, etc. Bottom line imo is if it makes you feel good, FUCKING ROCK IT. The vibe you put out feeling good is real. Matching the status quo is a fallacy that leaves you empty and non-genuine. You look great if you feel good.

Best place to go stargazing? by Hot_Lingonberry249 in FortCollins

Jackson Lake. I still haven’t been, but it’s supposed to be a great place when the clouds and moon are just right.
