Divorce, so close!

[rondog]

Good for you and your wife for working it out and getting back together!

I'm happy for all the guys and gals that are in good, happy marriages! I'm one of the ones that isn't, I picked the wrong woman on many, many counts. Can't get out of it because we're raising a grandson that's already been abandoned by his parents and other grandparents. Plus, she'd take me to the cleaners for everything.

Marriage is something I'd never do again, I gar-on-tee. And that sucks, because I'd like to be happy too. But I've been burned and scarred so much I don't think I could ever open up to anyone else ever again. Some of us just ain't meant to have it, I reckon. At least my dogs love me.

I am currently on the edge of divorce.in my relationship. I have to beautiful little girls and the woman of my dreams. Unfortunately for her it doesn't seem like she feels the same way she did when we first got married 6 years ago. I am slowly coming to the conclusion that I cannot make her love me. I cling on every little bit of hope I have and hope that my story turns out much like yours. Congratz I'm working it out.

It's all about Blue and Pink... Women want to feel loved, men want to be respected...

Great book!

Fight for it if you can - it's worth the fight in my humble opinion.

glock21 Congrats.

Sorry to hijack but I need info on councilors/programs in the northern Denver metro area if anyone has input. My friend and his wife are not doing well at all, in fact he'll be on my couch for a few nights starting tonight. He's unemployed so money is very tight.

Thanks

Congrats on work with your wife on your marriage. It takes a lot of talking, LISTENING, understanding, and prayer to make a marriage work, but it is so worth it.

good for you man...I've been married 17 years and the night before my wedding, my wife's grandfather pulled me aside.

he said "getting divorced is easy, staying married is hard work...but it's worth it"

his wife passed away last year after 70 years together

My wife and I just passed 15 last July; I had a similar experience at our wedding with my wife's Grandfather. All of her Grandparents were married over 70 years. Her maternal Grandfather said something similar to me at our wedding. He was a really neat guy, and he was right. My wife's the best thing that's ever happened to me, next to my kids.

It takes a real man to do what you've done, and then you put it on here. You definitely have my respect, for what that's worth. I'm glad you got to this point before and not after a divorce.

One needs only sit quietly and really consider what is truly important in their life & decide if the effort is worth it. Of course, it takes both members to remain committed for it to work.

Man, is this ever true. About 2 years ago I was probably 1 sentence away from calling it quits. It took an evening with myself and my thoughts really exploring what I wanted and what the best outcome was. Not great, yet, but at least we are civil and respectful all the time now. Definitely a work in progress, 28 years so far. Ginsue really should be a marriage counselor!
