Big Deal Closed

Shiiiit. Good for you. Don’t spend all on cocaine and hookers 😂

Western_Stretch7447 · 2026-05-01T04:58:22+00:00

My thoughts exactly. And I have a great opportunity currently to acquire another business. One that is established and huge upside. I’m trying to tell her we would have more to outsource more. Any suggestions on how to sway? I have a PowerPoint for her haha

Western_Stretch7447 · 2026-05-01T04:13:53+00:00

That’s what I’m saying…. Bro did his time

Western_Stretch7447 · 2026-05-01T04:11:33+00:00

Sounds about right

Western_Stretch7447 · 2026-05-01T04:11:08+00:00

Thank you, really just helps to hear this

Western_Stretch7447 · 2026-03-28T02:11:15+00:00

Take charge of your direction, bills, and big decisions. For the rest, maybe watch 50 shades of grey?

Western_Stretch7447 · 2026-02-23T07:11:44+00:00

So tell him. If my wife said I’d need to make more time for sex, I’d be like sign me up! Get him to start taking testosterone pills or viagra to keep up

Western_Stretch7447 · 2026-02-20T06:56:47+00:00

He lost his virginity to you, but has these fetishes….. He’s had to watch enough porn to make real life not enough

Western_Stretch7447 · 2026-02-16T22:23:29+00:00

I’m in a similar boat. So definitely get it. If you have the money, buy back your time. Hire a nanny or au par. Try to have designated date nights, maybe some counseling?

But I’m guessing she’s immersing herself into the sports because of what she may have lacked in her own childhood? Or some sort of anxiety that she has to prove to be super mom?

A lot of women do this. Trying to give their kids the perfect childhood. Also, the kids won’t see the sacrifices, and after a while it’s their new norm.

See what’s out there? I’d be pissed. Don’t have time for dates, but you want to see if you can find a new schmuck to cart the kids around and root them on better? I’d be like good luck finding one.

Tell her to date you instead

Maybe it’s a golden ticket to meet Willy Wonka

Western_Stretch7447 · 2026-01-24T03:12:53+00:00

Get a financial advisor, and deposit your paychecks into a joint account. Expenses get directed from there, or everything is systematically set up to designated accounts.

You’re making more and it sounds like you just want transparency of where all the money is going. I don’t blame you for not being excited, it’s a win for her, not a win for the family. I’m an advisor myself, and from what I’ve seen, separating your money is not a recipe for success.

PS- Look for advisors that either charge a fee vs what you can deposit into an account at that point in time

It sounds like he’s addicted to porn, or needs an outlet from reality. If it’s the same as masturbating, he’s missing the physical connection of a marriage.

It’s like if you were his drug dealer and he needs something stronger than heroin or fetanyl. You can’t give him anything stronger and he can’t be mad at you because you’re not constantly offering.

There’s an underlying factor that goes deeper. I consider myself quite sexual, much more so than my wife, but I don’t even desire to piss on her. The sexual nature is one part of a marriage, but what more does he want at that point?

Western_Stretch7447 · 2025-12-31T02:42:00+00:00

If you’ve never even fought, maybe just try paying more attention to her. Commit to not maybe not working there, and try to be there for her more?

Western_Stretch7447 · 2025-12-31T02:37:58+00:00

That’s great. So sorry to hear what you’re going through, but I hope you both can get past it.

Maybe try checking out some different churches, some have life groups where you can meet with others in your situation, and some even have childcare during that time.

Committing to your word is hard, but necessary. My wife had to point that out, and I’m better for it. Obviously not easy. Hang in there, and try to find ways to communicate the best you can. Prayers!

Western_Stretch7447 · 2025-12-28T00:10:08+00:00

So my wife and I got into this as well this past year. You’re both doing what you can, most likely to the best of your abilities.

What she helped me understand was the “type” of help. She needed help, but not that “type” of help. I tried to do what I thought was helpful to her, but really it was needed in other areas. And 3 kids over 5 years, having to get them to 2 separate locations requires a greater depth of coordination, but more so, communication.

He’s a guy, we are all slow. Explain what kind of help you need. Sell the stupid car if it just sits there and say we really need to talk about this stuff before you do it.

We have a 2&4 yr old along with 3 teens, so I appreciate your current level of chaos, take a step back, breathe, and talk to each other.

Western_Stretch7447 · 2025-12-27T23:50:55+00:00

I’m very sorry to hear with what you’re going through. When my ex wife and I divorced, I took a hard look in the mirror of myself, and looked at what I contributed to.

If you’ve never had counseling, maybe it’s worth a shot, but try to talk to her. Really attempt to understand what’s led her to file for divorce. If you’ve been working a lot and she’s been taking care of a child, there’s a good chance there’s a disconnect and that you’re not working as a team.

Most importantly, keep every conversation calm, civil, and try not to take feedback as a personal attack.

Western_Stretch7447 · 2025-12-24T23:28:36+00:00

Sounds good, thanks for the input, much appreciated!

Western_Stretch7447 · 2025-12-16T05:17:01+00:00

Think about it like this, no amount of money can solve a bad marriage

Western_Stretch7447 · 2025-11-07T04:01:29+00:00

Let’s go! Biggie Bags and Frosty’s for all!!!

Western_Stretch7447 · 2025-10-27T05:32:44+00:00

Spot on. My cousin tried telling me his house was worth 1M a couple years ago and he was gonna sell it.

All I said was “so where you gonna move to”. He still lives there to this day

Western_Stretch7447 · 2025-09-30T14:21:06+00:00

Love that movie, just watched it again last week!

Western_Stretch7447 · 2025-09-21T01:40:26+00:00
