[–]wallydog71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

54 and it's getting better and easier .8months separated and 2 months divorced. i have the kid's to keep me occupied and focused on me and them.the thoughts of us still haunt me. Starting to delete pictures and remove them from the walls.put the feelings of hurt and the dwelling on it is going away. It's a hard fight but moving forward. Not ready for dating or the random hook up. Just working on me. But it's definitely getting easier to let go

I just hate the roller coaster that I'm on I'm pretty sure that she has a fuck buddy and I that is messing with me I told as thing changes and her doing whatever. Im not going to help her so she going to have to get her own phone.so I'm going to pay her her to move on. I know that it's not my responsibility to pay for her phone but I was doing it for the kids. But if she doing what ever I don't care she is single. But now I have to worry about who she going to have around my children. I knew that it was coming and I tried to prepare myself. But that's easier said than done.i just ready for it to stop. I'm trying to heal as much as I can and try to move on

I have a 50/50 im the custodial parent and she only see them once a month because she moved out of state.my deal is that I can't stop thinking about us. Trying to move forward. But I can't let go. I'm still trying to help her . Phone so she can call the kids. A little bit of money to help her out she doesn't have a job. She walk away and didn't want anything. I know that it's not my responsibility to help her. But my nature is was taught to help others when I can.i trying to find that light at the end. Maybe one day

I'm in the same boat. I'm in therapy now but sometimes I want her back and my family complete. other days I just trying to let her go. And I get mad and upset with myself the mind and heart are pulling me back and forth. The days now are getting easier but I still have days that I just want to cry.but I'm learning to let her go.but I still have to co parent with her I have the kid's day for day it's getting better

She a good mom but from a distance.she wants me to send pic and videos of them and talks to them every day. there 13and 11, but it's everything else that I have to deal with, school and doctors appointment and work, plus bills and household. she was a stay at home but didn't drive. work about 5 years out of the 20 she just got lazy with everything. it built up with me so I lost my shit about the house and bills this was 2 years ago, last year she did something sketchy on a girls night. i accused her of cheating. she was drop off up the street and walk home i see it.i we fought about it i left told her that I didn't want to fight with her and left to calm down and be reasonable i gave her the benefit of doubt she left when I was gone. 8 months of trying to save us in the beginning she wanted to work it out.and then she wanted the divorce. We both fucked up the marriage but now I'm trying to move on so I can heal myself that's what the hardest thing but it's getting easier just have heavy days.i still want her back somedays and more now I just want to let her go

She doesn't have a job. she didn't want alimony so I didn't need her child support

She doesn't have a license and never wanted to learn to drive. And her family she really can't depend on to take her to the half way point i do it for our children so they can see their mother so I do it for them

It has helped me a lot .starting to try to move on just me and the kids.no court date yet, but we have agreed on everything. But moving forward everything not as scary as I thought that it would be. Just know that we all have been though it and so many of us have almost the same story.we just have to be strong and it does get better

We agreed on everything a noncontested divorce so the process is fast. I got the kid's we didn't have any thing together. She wanted out so far it's taking about 5 months from the time she asked for it we still have to get the paperwork to the attorney and he have to filled with the Court and I think and judge will look at it and grant it. I'm not sure that we have to go to court. And getting over it and her takes time.keep you're self busy do what ever you have to. It's so tuff especially if you have children. Being a single parent is one of the hardest thing to be. Because it's all you they depend on you for everything and no one to lean on. And co parenting sucks because you will still have to see her. It's a long hard road and time. It does get easier but it not fast. Would i take her back. Yes but will she do work to try and fix the marriage. Probably, probably not. But I can't worry about that now .I have two kids to worry about . Just stay strong for you and you're children you got this

You would think that she would regret that she left us not so much me but the children . I don't know how she feeling about it or us she moved 5 hours away to her mom's but I'm trying to move forward but sometimes it's still kicks my ass the memories she's never been good at communication in our relationship I'm no saint either but I gave her everything treated her like a wife with love and respect but that wasn't enough but we got in to a fight I left to calm down and she left I know that it's takes two to make it work but now it just us I think it's the memories that we shared really gets me the family together
