Sucks worse then any Oliver Stone movie could. Yuck.

And if your posts on this (or any other) forum are used in divorce proceedings it sucks even more… don’t laugh, it happens…
feel for you.
don’t let it worm away at you.
not worth it.
And yet you seemed so happy about the prospect just a short while ago?
An old boss of mine once said:
“Love is grand. Divorce is fifty grand”
Since that was like 15 years ago, adjusted for CPI, interest rates, time value of $… carry the one, uh… sucks to be you right now. Sorry.
Hope it all works out in the end. It’s just that until that point, it probably won’t be much fun. Just make sure the kids know you still love them and always will; that’s all that really matters anyway. Good luck.
Yup. No good for nobody. But life does turn a corner and eventually you’ll look forward more than looking back. The best advice I got from anyone was to take care of myself. For me, it was all about maintaining a reasonable flow of endorphines and surrounding myself with friends and family. Good luck man.
Women, you can’t live with 'em, pass the beer nuts.
Divorce was one of the best things that ever happened to me. My second marriage probably IS the best thing that ever happened to me.
I recently attended a wedding which was the second marriage for both parties. I spoke for a little while with the officiant who led the ceremony, and she said sometimes a first marriage is for all the wrong reasons - the second time we get married for the right reasons. That may not be true for everyone, but it sure is for me.
I’m not making light of divorce. I went through a period of profound misery but I never doubted that it would get better, and it did. For me, one of the key things was to do nothing that I would be ashamed of or regret later. I tried to have dignity and tried to do the right thing even when he couldn’t have conducted himself worse - mean, petty, incredibly hurtful behaviour, which, now that I think about it in those terms, characterized his behaviour throughout our marriage, too. It was worth it, both the divorce and not stooping to his level.
I hope that you, too, ultimately get through this to a better situation.
Life gets better. Time heals all.
just don’t let the kids get caught up in it. let them know you love them - say it outloud until your hoarse and then sign it.
good luck.
