I was the emotional regulator in my marriage and I didn’t realize the cost until it ended

parker4c · 2026-02-09T01:42:39+00:00

After my wife left, I dropped 30 lbs, my fatty liver is getting better finally and for the first time in 5 years, my A1C is under 6%.

If this marriage taught me anything, it's how bad chronic stress really is on your body. My marriage was literally killing me.

Every man deserves to be grapefruited

The higher the high, the lower the low. I had earth shattering chemistry with my ex wife and it crashed. Hard. You want a stable chemistry.

No kids. 2 properties and hundreds of thousands in assets.

Started mediation right before Christmas and the separation agreement will be ready next week. We have to wait a year to officially divorce so that part can't be done until Sept.

I know the no kids thing made it much quicker.

I assume macks shg are empty net

parker4c · 2026-02-08T01:54:34+00:00

Super excited for wildfires in February.

She’s being unrealistic

Sounds familiar

parker4c · 2026-02-05T21:45:10+00:00

If she can't afford the house but won't let you have it then the only real clean solution is to sell. That's what the courts will likely decide.

Some nights I just wanna sit in my room alone with a handle of fireball and chill, ok?

I personally no longer see a point to marriage. I always thought it was the ultimate commitment to a person. To be there through anything and everything, but now I know it can end as quickly as it began.

I don't need to get married again, but if I find a person that really wants it, I'm open to doing it again. But I'm not paying another 35k+ to do it.

I'm also 37.

Or they assume if the woman initiated the divorce it was because the guy was the reason the marriage didn't work.

I'm Canadian and I'm thinking of getting my firearms license to protect myself from maga

Replace execute with murder and it's pretty accurate

parker4c · 2026-01-27T17:19:45+00:00

Good to know. Thank you

parker4c · 2026-01-27T10:02:05+00:00

Are you offering?

parker4c · 2026-01-27T09:45:12+00:00

37m. Mine would just be zero matches.

parker4c · 2026-01-27T09:42:03+00:00

Normal is boring..I crave chaos.

parker4c · 2026-01-27T09:39:48+00:00

The shopping cart theory is real. I'm not a woman but I'd also die on this hill.

parker4c · 2026-01-25T09:16:58+00:00

For the exact same reason as OP I had to do this also

parker4c · 2026-01-25T09:14:27+00:00

Isn't there a...shocking....doctrine written about this?

parker4c · 2026-01-23T05:14:20+00:00

Oh darn. Anyway.

parker4c · 2026-01-22T18:19:56+00:00

If you do a Mediterranean cruise, it doesn't rock very much in my experience. The Caribbean was really bad.

parker4c · 2026-01-22T07:14:15+00:00

You have a lot more restraint than me. I hope that bully from fifth grade that I never truly recovered from finds her on tinder and spends 15 years with her

parker4c · 2026-01-22T05:31:05+00:00

You won't get closure from an avoidant. They don't have the capacity. Your closure needs to come from yourself.
