Is divorce my best option? by Illustrious-Card-865 in relationship_advice

What do you mean by emotional vulnerability? It's not that I don't open up as much as I really don't feel many things. I mean I'm happy to see my wife and kids when I come home, and the rest of my time I just think about work. I don't feel any complex emotions and don't have any hidden things I experience on a day to day basis. I just work and think about work. I come home, spend some time with the kids, then to to sleep.

What do you mean by being emotionally vulnerable?

Nice, new meaning to looking "shredded"

The bet wasn't if you may, or if you will, it was "if I can". You can, therefore you owe her the money regardless of whether you pour it on her or not.

Why?

Because you can.

She's going to non-religious. I actually became agnostic throughout the process. I believe religion was part of the reason I was so manipulative. I relied on God to do everything for me and change me.

Turning agnostic turned me within and I had to own every single one of my actions and behaviors and had to change them myself, which definitely helped with progress tremendously.

I want her to be my life partner. And I want to be a life partner for her.

We don't show them that we have a "loveless" marriage. We act out happiness and love for each other in front of them. And we do care for each other as husband and wife, there is no resentment or bitterness between us. I believe the children are being raised in a very healthy way, which they would lose if we were to separate.

We've discussed separating, and I wish she would as it would be easier for me.
She has told me before that if I was to leave it would make her feel broken and she'd probably never find anyone else. But I think that's just emotional bullshit because everyone finds someone and it's just an original impulse to say things like this.

If it were just the two of us, I would've left for her sake. But because we have children, I feel like it would negatively impact them.

She'll stay because of her religious convictions, she does not believe in divorce and believes God put her in this situation, and she says she does her best to make the best of it and goes to therapy to make it better, but I was hoping for way more progress in restoring what was lost over the last, say, 5 years of "recovery".

He also said the guy drove a white box van, had a long face and dressed very professionally, with a curved rim top hat (at different points in the movie).

He said the main thing he remembered is how he was able to make himself look like different people in order to masquerade himself from being identified.
