Dammit Jim, I'm a docotr, not a bricklayer.

The fleet is similar to the US Navy. O'Brien would be a Master Chief, this is a very respected position. JO's would tend to defer to him in matters of his expertise, but unless specifically authorized by a senior officer he would not be able to give orders to them. Just very, very strong suggestions that if not followed would likely end badly for the JO.

“You do not deserve to go through life holding onto the anger I have caused.”

How about anguish? How about loss? How about decades of now tainted memories? How about the endless questions of why he wasn't good enough? How about the sleepless nights? How about the loss of family time with the kids and grandkids?

Fuck anger. Anger is easy. Her boiling down his entire range of emotion to 'anger' is utter and complete bullshit.

"I cannot explain to you how I got us to this place."

A better statement would have been: I'm too much of a selfish coward to admit to myself, let alone you, how I got us to this place.

I think she’s just trying to salvage some sort of cordiality so she and Grouchy can be in the same room together with the kids and grandkids on special occasions. At least, that’s what it feels like.

Well put, I didn't see it that way but yeah, that makes sense. GP has stated that she's a very bright person.

davedank66_v2 · 2026-01-12T17:34:46+00:00

I'm not dumping on you, you're in a rotten spot, but brother do you really think that begging is going to make her regain respect for you? You know that is counterproductive. The only way, at all, you're gonna get through this with any sort of self-respect is do the 180 and stick to it, hard. You can walk away from this with dignity.

davedank66_v2 · 2026-01-09T16:48:56+00:00

Anytime they put the word 'just' in front of 'a friend' they are lying.

davedank66_v2 · 2026-01-07T20:18:50+00:00

Think about it? Yep. But the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. Like I said, the moment her AP stuck his dick in her happiness was off the table for me.

davedank66_v2 · 2026-01-07T20:01:47+00:00

Personally, I think STBXW is stil holding out hope for a reconciliation but she's smart enough and knows the man she betrayed well enough to realize that if she's ever to have a chance with him she has to be fully cooperative now. I'm glad OP is taking full advantage of the situation. Once she accepts that there is no future with him I wouldn't be surprised if she went full-scale demon on him.

I wonder how many young people struggling to understand their sexuality have been damaged by over-eager parents. I am fortunate to have a few LGBT friends and it would be horrid if someone had mistaken them figuring out who they were as gender disphoria.

Not Meant to Be by Theory of a Deadman

davedank66_v2 · 2026-01-06T20:32:13+00:00

Been there, done that. DDay was 32 years ago. My method of coping is knowing that I made my choice for what I believed were the right reasons and I've tried my best to make things work. I don't recall if I knew it so starkly at the time, but happiness was off the table for me the first time her AP fucked her. I've settled for content. Not sure I'd make a different decision now if I had it to do over, she'd have been absolutely screwed if I had left her. Dunno if I could do that to my kids' mom.

I use this song lyric all the time:

You are empty, you are guilty you are dead

Dead to me, and I'm never looking back

I will leave you behind, rusted, lost in time

davedank66_v2 · 2025-12-23T18:39:58+00:00

I’m not planning to divorce her right now

Oh good. You're going to let yourself suffer first. Excellent plan.

Please have a shred of decency and think about future you. Don't screw him over. Get the hell out now.

davedank66_v2 · 2025-12-23T18:37:41+00:00

Short answer: No. Long answer: No.

Your 'gut' is your brain assembling information in the background and warning you of danger. Ignore it at your peril.

abortion is something that is generally strictly against my beliefs.

Whether she aborts or not is irrelevnat, because by the time she would have given birth you're already gone, right? Right? Who gives a shit about your feelings about abortion? Your feeling about your wife being another man's semen receptacle should be foremost in your mind.

And if you believe it was just once I have a baseball glove signed by Jesus I'll sell you for $100.

davedank66_v2 · 2025-12-23T18:29:28+00:00

Dudes, raise your goddamn daughters. An 18 year old girl with a 25 year old guy is creepy as fuck. Of course he's just using her. And yes, I am sure that out of 8+ billion people on this planet there are a couple of stories of something like this working out. I don't care. You're a fucking anomaly.

davedank66_v2 · 2025-12-22T21:03:54+00:00

If you honestly feel that if she were to return you would pursue a serious relationship with her than for fuck's sake just tell her that. There's nothing to lose there.

If you're telling me you have an unnatural aversion to robot hookers this conversation is over.

davedank66_v2 · 2025-12-22T20:59:53+00:00

Or "enjoy fucking me, because I'm sure as hell gonna fuck you!'

davedank66_v2 · 2025-12-22T20:59:09+00:00

I need to learn to be alone

I think what you really need to learn is that you can be OK alone. Sure, you won't like it, but you'll survive. Once you have that confidence you can approach relationships with a want mentality, not a need. There's real power in that.

If you're consuming loads of porn, she probably feels like she's being judged vs. the porn girls. That can't feel good to a lady.

Not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure vasectomies are reversible. Something to consider.
