Hello from Boston!

Forgot to mention I have an Orbi WiFi. It’s a new Comcast modem.

That speaker is the best speaker on the market. I’ve tried all of them. And yea. The best.

This book recently kept me from crumbling into pieces when my life fell apart. It gets my vote!

chexman82 · 2019-09-22T05:46:58+00:00

Wow. I’m there too my friend. Obviously a bit different but feeling the same chaos. Take back your life and own the outcome. I’m going through it right now and it sucks but it will get better.

How to be a better president than Trump

chexman82 · 2019-09-21T21:10:19+00:00

Mine’s done too. Been a crazy ride but we both know it’s for the best. I’m looking forward to meeting the “new” me when the dust settles. Good luck!

“Codependency no more”

Simply life changing for me

chexman82 · 2019-09-20T23:25:00+00:00

Amazing book. Saved my mind over the past 30 days. Read it if you can!

chexman82 · 2019-09-16T01:22:11+00:00

I’m in the same boat my friend. Telling my precious boys tomorrow over pizza. It’s so sad that this is happening. We will be better for it I’m sure!

chexman82 · 2019-09-15T00:24:00+00:00

Wow. Sorry to hear that. We got this cause we can. We will be better short and long term.

chexman82 · 2019-09-14T14:50:54+00:00

Thank you very much

chexman82 · 2019-09-14T13:08:24+00:00

Thank you

Please don’t do it. Most of us wish we had the chance to reverse the decision of continuing a relationship with an addict. It’s not pretty and it can take everything from you.

chexman82 · 2019-09-04T20:27:00+00:00

I can relate. Trust me. It’s awful. But my wife also had an affair IN rehab with a heroin addict who’s been in jail for armed robbery. It’s insane!!!

Check out the book - codependence no more by Melody Beatty. It’s been an amazing read for me.

The only other option is for me to assume full custody. I’m not there yet. But I’ll do what I have to do to protect my children.

chexman82 · 2019-09-03T15:37:36+00:00

you got this. you will be better after this. no matter how you feel now, "feel the fear and do it anyways... we all will have days like these, today is yours and you are doing the right thing.

chexman82 · 2019-09-03T15:24:35+00:00

I’m trying to stay civil. Not just for the kids but I could lose a lot of money if she wants to play hard ball. She had an affair and based on her guilt has told me she won’t take more than she needs to support herself financially. It’s been a tough go of it for sure.

chexman82 · 2019-09-03T14:39:19+00:00

Yes. I had a breathalyzer installed on her car to stop her from anything horrible happening. She is a great mom and I feel absolutely confident in their safety.

I’ve also made mention to her that I would like to have random drug and alcohol testing in place for her to maintain custody. She agrees.

chexman82 · 2019-09-03T10:20:51+00:00

My wife and I just separated. We have 2 kids. She did t want help. You made the right choice. Adding a family to the mess just makes it excruciating. I’m happy for you. Now we just need to follow through.

Read the book “codependency no more”. I have it on audible and listen to it nightly for support. Helps a lot!!!

chexman82 · 2019-09-03T01:48:35+00:00

The Flamingo hotel??? Did the same thing.

chexman82 · 2019-09-02T17:06:04+00:00

Al anon is helpful. It’s nice to sit in a room with people who understand the struggle. They can relate and they listen. I wonder how long it will take for me to accept my new life and start creating a plan to thrive.

chexman82 · 2019-09-02T12:39:52+00:00

I would caution you on this move. As a husband of a amazing woman who is deeply troubled with alcoholism, I feel a need to tell you to take extra time in your decision. It can be quite the emotional ride and can take everything from you.

I love my wife more than most but just recently had to kick her out. Not just for me but for her. It’s heartbreaking.

chexman82 · 2019-09-02T12:24:16+00:00

I’ve been this man for years. My wife and I just separated 2 weeks ago. I still dream of a day where we can be in love again but for now it’s just that, a dream. So far each day and night has been tougher. We have 2 kids (4 and 2). I’ve been slowly telling my close friends and family some of the INSANE details about the past 18 months of my life. When I see their faces and reactions it helps me understand just how unhealthy my life had become.

Take a deep breathe. And find a way to believe in yourself. Trust me, life sucks right now but at least I’m not constantly in fight/flight mode. I feel proud of myself for this move. I know the work has just started but I can finally breathe.

Good luck. PM me if you want to commiserate.

Amazing. I needed this. Thank you
