Re: How to handle guilt

There's some merit in that (although I don't think it is gender specific...happens the other way round also). In my situation, the impact of having our daughter changed everything massively (as it...

Re: How to handle guilt

I see the ground has been covered on this - just thought I'd put in my 2c as well.

Unfortunately, I think with these "soft" splits (as opposed to abuse, etc) - it is inevitable that one person...

Re: How many marriages end with an affair? (POLL)

In my case there was nothing going on (and yes, I did a very thorough job to make sure). However, even so, there was a lot of confiding in friends rather than me, and a distinct change away from her...

Re: You ever wander?

My WAW doesn't appear to care or has had any second thoughts whatsoever.

Re: Homework Assignment for Recovering Niceguys

Well, I finally got round to watching this last night. Matt, yep, you'll need a comedy right afterwards...I did my whole Ryan Gosling night, with Crazy, Stupid Love in the number 2 slot!

Re: Anyone else feel unattractive?

I'm with Sam here. Especially if you are feeling stressed, casting off a negative aura - likely will put you in the "unapproachable, out of their league" bracket.

Me, I swing in and out of how I...

Re: Shocked that its come to this, accept it or fight?

I'm happy that she's thinking about giving it a second chance too...I'm another one who didn't get one, which is pretty much the norm around here.

The thing is though, from your posts, its very...

Re: Divorce vs. Separation

I don't think it really makes a lot of difference. From reading around, the stats are that most separations do lead to divorce anyway. I think a lot of depends on the circumstances. If you are...

Re: Homework Assignment for Recovering Niceguys

I think there are so many of us on here who have been there and done that. Shame its all too common for us to get to that point and then do it. I think this video sums many situations up fairly...

Re: Homework Assignment for Recovering Niceguys

Downloading this movie for later - thanks for the recommend. Having read the writeups/wiki on it, actually feel a bit apprehensive about watching it - hoping it won't throw me into a dark...

Re: Where Is Lifescript?

You get one email notification per subscribed thread - but if you don't visit the forum after notification, you'll not get another one for that thread till you do.

Re: Any vetrans out there with PTSD?

In that case, so long as it was made real clear to him that you really meant it - I think you've got all the bases covered. Best of luck whatever you decide - tough spot for sure. I think Conrad...

Re: Any vetrans out there with PTSD?

Makes a lot of sense. FWIW, I think in your particular situation the whole NC bit is probably not going to solve anything. From my perspective, all I can say is having seen a lot of the very...

Re: Any vetrans out there with PTSD?

I can give you a bit of a perspective. I did 12 years in the military and served in in every major deployment of the 90's and early '00s. On leaving I also did some contracting before getting a...

Re: about to commence separation from wife

If she is the one who wants the separation, she should be the one to leave.

Re: So what is a good divorce?

And a very good 2c it is too. I think what actually prolongs the agony and troubles me is that, despite it obviously being a MLC of some sort, my stbx is neither crazy nor a bad mom. In fact, as...

Re: So what is a good divorce?

7 Months down the line from separation and I still am struggling with this. If we didn't have a child together - I'd have cut her off totally, moved away, and never spoken to her again. It would be...

Re: How many of you were "left" but ending up making the call?

In that case I do have some sympathy for him (having done "a few" deployments myself). And all the more credit to you for giving him the benefit of the doubt for a while. I can see its a tough spot...

Re: How many of you were "left" but ending up making the call?

All I can say with that is....that arrangement can't be enforced. If he is the "walker", and living 3 states away....it might not be the case, but I wouldn't hedge your bets on him not seeing anyone...

Re: Hurt, lost, and a little confused.

Keko has it. If you are going back anyway, I'd use the time to cut her off from all credit and finance (you can probably do that over the phone anyway - no need to delay that stuff). Sounds like...

Re: How many of you were "left" but ending up making the call?

She is going to have to make the call in my situation - I insist, I want her to totally own it. But I guess I'm "lucky" - we are totally functionally split now as is - sold the house, divided the...

Re: Bitterness

Sounds like a cake eater extraordinaire. As it was her decision, if anyone has any reason to be bitter, its you, not her. As the others have said, I'm assuming you have successfully moved on....and...

Re: Hurt, lost, and a little confused.

Totally agree with Keko and Conrad. That letter will just about bury you. Romantic dates - pretty much a non starter, if she's all but moved in with this guy.

I'm ex military myself...always...

Re: Getting in shape, what works?

These are very good points...especially the weight loss bit. I think far too many people get hung up on watching the pounds go down, and when they don't, even perhaps just for a day or two, they get...

Re: Anyone's ex's physical transformation led to the downfall of the marriage?

I'm in the same boat with all you guys...this feeling like a sucker bit is what really gets to me at the moment.
