I CAN live...great news!

[Poli]

if living is without you.

My wife has just asked me for a divorce for the 2nd time in the past year. Four days after the 10th anniversary of the day we ment. Two days before her birthday. Our 8th wedding anniversary was to be Valentine's Day.

I guess it's over. How do I live?

[ISiddiqui]

Dude that sucks :(. Hang in there, buddy.

[MrBug708]

:(

[M GO BLUE!!!]

I'm sorry to hear.

Life does go on though. I know it's easy for me to say, as I have never had a relationship in my 33 years progress to the point of marriage. But if she wants to move on it is best to let her. Maybe she will realize that she really does want you, maybe not... but trying to hold on to someone who wants out will only worsen the situation.

If she doesn't want to be with you anymore, move on to a younger and better looking woman. She will hate it, and you will enjoy both a younger and more attractive woman, and her jealousy!

[DaddyTorgo]

damm AE. I'm sorry man. That's horrible to hear. Guess that whole episode from earlier in the year was less of a reaction to that one incident and more of a general thing then. I'm sorry to hear that. That's horrible.

And on SuperBowl Sunday no less!?!?! Is there no day sacred??

[Karlifornia]

Sorry to hear about this. There will be some rough nights I imagine, but you gotta be strong about it.

[QuikSand]

Very sorry to hear... best wishes.

[JeffNights]

Screw all that man!! The Single Life awaits you!
Your marriage experaince will make you a walking pimp on what the Ladies want to hear, think about all that ass you had to pass becasue you were hitched. Now its there for the taking!!! Even for a sailor, you shoudl be alright. ")

I am sorry about the divorce, i just try to be optimistic.

[Airhog]

wow, just wow. Hang in there buddy. Things will get better!

[ThunderingHERD]

:(

[duckman]

I'm sorry that you are going through this, AE. Divorce is not an easy thing to experience (I'm speaking from experience). I don't think any words will really make you feel better right now, but I hope for you that something positive will come from this and doesn't make you a bitter person.

You'll be in my prayers.

[Hurst2112]

Prepare for some of the worst feelings you have ever experienced. Prepare for some of the best feelings after the grieving is over.

I feel for you brother. Hang in there and don't let yourself go.

[Izulde]

:( I'm sorry to hear that man.

[Hurst2112]

dola:


PM me if you ever need to talk. I have been there and have learned some things about myself. Hopefully you can learn from somebody elses mistakes and adventures.

[FrogMan]

ouch Rodney. My thoughts are with you, hang in there...

Sorry to hear that AE... that really sucks!!

My thoughts are with you.. hang in ther man.

[pennywisesb]

I'm truly sorry to hear that Rodney. I wish you the best in this terrible time.

[Eaglesfan27]

Divorce is a high risk time for suicide. I hope if you really start having any suicidal thoughts, you will seek some professional help. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I know you have a lot of support on this board.

[Warhammer]

Hang in there. Sometimes something that we think is unbearable is actually a great weight lifting off our shoulders.

[digamma]

Hang in there.

[Lorena]

Do you have any kids AE?

[JonInMiddleGA]

You know (I hope) that you have my very best thoughts & my prayers.

[SirFozzie]

Damn, Sorry, AE. You're in my thoughts dude.

[Raiders Army]

Sorry man. It may hurt right now, but maybe in the future you'll look back on it as a positive experience. Maybe you're meant to be with someone else. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

[SackAttack]

Sucks to hear it, AE. Hang in there.

[Honolulu_Blue]

Sorry to hear that. Hang in there. It will get better and work itself out eventually.

[sterlingice]

I don't have anything helpful to tell you but, man, that sucks :(

SI

[vex]

Good luck getting through this, Rodney.

[Senator]

I hate this for you.

[Chas in Cinti]

Good luck man... sorry to hear that... I went through mine about 3.5 years ago (after 5 years of marriage). For me, it wasn't really losing her that bothered me, it was the sense of failure... Once you come to grips with that, life gets better..

PM if you ever need...

-Chas

[Glengoyne]

Fuckin' Bitch. On the day of the Super Bowl!

You are fucking better off without her!.


Note: I can say this, because my first wife left me the day after the superbowl. I think the only decent thing she did was spare screwing up Superbowl Sunday for me. I mean that bitch had NO class....I came home from work for lunch the day after the superbowl and the place was cleaned out. The Bitch called me from her boyfriend's house and left a breakup message on our answering machine. Think about it...Even that bitch had the decency not screw up my Superbowls for the next five years.



Edit: That said...really I sort of know how you feel. It is a crappy place to be in, and I feel for you. Hopefully you will weather this experience, and use this experience as a positive somehow in a future relationship. Thank God for my divorce, 'cause my second wife has been the best thing ever for me.

[Poli]

Thanks guys, you got me choked up over here. I'm so hurt, I don't know what to do. I can't even watch the game.

I was going to watch the game with two of my FOFC friends and then go home for all the junk listed above. I called her before I left and she told me.

I started to pack some things and head home right away. I cancelled my plans. Instead, I ended up staying here. I talked myself out of me. I just fought off a divorce while being wrongfully accused six months ago. I just don't have it in me to do this again.

[CamEdwards]

I'm so sorry for you, AE. You're in my thoughts and prayers, and please, use the friends you've made on the board to find some support. Don't go through this alone.

[st.cronin]

[Cap Ologist]

You'll be in my prayers, if you need anything, let me know.

[Ksyrup]

Damn, sorry to hear this. When your first thread came up, I was immediately struck by her reaction. I thought there was something deeper, and that she latched onto that whole mess as a way to get the divorce AND blame you for it. Did she give you any reason(s) this time?

[Poli]

Dude, I can't answer this feasibly at this time. I'm drunk. Ksyrup, dude your name is hard to spell. I'll tell you this. She told me she was depressed, and I told her I'd do anything to get her out of it. This was Tuesday. Today, she says I want a divorce. That made me sad. And now I'm drinking. Feel better now, but I'm still sad, you know?

[Poli]

Dude, I'm getting a divorce AND the Steelers won the Super Bowl. I don't know how these two mix, but wow. Cedrick Wilson, he's a Vol, you know? That means he has both rings. Well three now. SEC championship. NCAA Championship. Superbowl. Well, not yet, but he will.

[Ksyrup]

I understand. Sorry for the questions. It's the attorney in me. Go drink (just be safe).

[LoneStarGirl]

I missed the first thread on this, but that really sucks about the divorce. Women are so fickle.

[Poli]

I understand. Sorry for the questions. It's the attorney in me. Go drink (just be safe).Dude, I'm safe. I'm at home, with Bud Lite and absolut. and stuff.

I wish we still had the Bud Bowl.

Ksyrup, you're an attorney? I'm going to need an attorney. Give me a call.

[kingfc22]

Sorry to hear AE.

[Poli]

I missed the first thread on this, but that really sucks about the divorce. Women are so fickle.Dude, you're not even kidding. ALl you got to do is seach like the threads I've started and looked for something depressing from me. That's where it started. Back in like September or October.

[Zippo]

hang in there man, things can only get better.

[oliegirl]

I'm a strong believer in the idea that everything happens for a reason...someday you'll look back on all of this and realize you are better off, but I know now it sucks and it's going to be a hard time - but as this thread shows, you have a lot of people here to support you :)

[JAG]

All the best Rodney, just keep hanging in there and know we're with you. Anytime you want a chat, just track me down.

[vtbub]

Ugh, Sorry guy.

[path12]

Dude. I've been there -- if you ever need to talk, feel free to PM. Hang in there.

[brewcrewmaroon]

Been there, done that. When mine happened I thought about it and decided I had two choices. Be unhappy and bitter the rest of my life or move on and find a happier life. I chose the latter and have NEVER regretted it. It's not easy, and there will be some rough times ahead, but you can move on.

[Craptacular]

:( Vent whatever you need to vent, just don't drink yourself silly and do anything stupid.

[hoopsguy]

I'm really sorry to hear that you are going through this. Good luck in the coming days ... sounds like there are a lot of people here willing to help you if/when you need it.

[Deattribution]

Sorry to hear, but now is the time to make best out of a bad situation - hopefully able to rely on your good friends and keep yourself occupied til you feel better. Stay strong.

[MizzouRah]

AE you know my number, call me.

Todd

[dubb93]

Sorry to hear about all this man. If you need someone to talk to, you have my phone number. Call me anytime.

[JeeberD]

I'm so sorry to hear this, bud. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you... :(

[NoMyths]

Rough blow, man. Rely on the strength of those who care about you...there will be a brighter day.

[Neuqua]

Being (somewhat) in your area, don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything.

[fantastic flying froggies]

Damn AE, not again... :(

We're here if you need anything.

[Passacaglia]

That sucks to hear, man! I hope it all turns out for the best -- I'm sure it will!

[3ric]

Terribly sorry to see this happen to you - again.

[SFL Cat]

Sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

If you still love her, tell her you want to fight to keep things together, even though it seems like everything in the world has been trying to tear you apart the past year.

Please don't drown yourself in a bottle...it's a temporary feel good thing and doesn't really fix the problems and can cause even worse ones.

[Kodos]

Sorry to hear this, AE. :(

[Butter]

Very sorry. Hope things will turn around for you fast.

[lytic]

Rodney, bring her to counseling before you sign any paperwork. If she's depressed, she may just need prozac or something. I got my wife hooked up on prozac about a year and half ago and our marriage has recovered. She was just... depressed. It's the life of a military spouse.
My buddy (I was his best man) was deployed to Kosovo for the past 4 months. His wife called him 2 months ago and asked for a divorce. He came home last week to an empty home, she bought a house 10 miles south of base. She cheated on him twice while he was gone. Anyway, he's been drinking here and I'm gonna help him through it... so I know what you are going through right this second.

[bronconick]

Sorry man.

[Poli]

I want to give you guys an update.

Yes, I drank myself silly Super Bowl Sunday. While watching the end of the game, I wasn't totally sure who won. I know I called a lot of people and said a lot of things. I hope I didn't offend anyone.

I went on leave the next morning and went home. I wasn't exactly welcome. I got there in the afternoon and we talked through the night.

Long story short, right now she doesn't want the divorce.

My wife is sick. She has an eating disorder. She has a problem of over thinking things...she can't let the past go. I'm not saying I'm a bad guy. But should I say something "wrong", for example. She holds on to it. I feel like I'm on eggshells around her at times. Because of her problems, she's on a ton of medications.

I just wish she could let stuff go. Stuff about me, her parents (who are divorced, mom cheated on dad), her friends, her job. I genuinely feel that if could just let stuff go, she'd have never asked me for a divorce, ever. As it is, I've been asked for a divorce twice in six months, and three times now in two and half years.

I want my old wife back. The one that didn't have all these problems. I've had about enough. This has been the craziest couple of months...years of my life.

Sounds like you have some tough times ahead of you, but if she realizes she has problems and is willing to try and work them out then you have a good shot. You just need to figure out if it's what you want also. Sounds like you are a great husband and that you are going to stick by her and try to get through this, which is awesome. Good luck and I hope everything works out for both of you!!!!

[Poli]

I'm back in Chicago now after asking her to come up here to stay while I ride out my time in the Navy. It didn't work. She thinks she'd be happier there than up here...because she's around her family.

Sigh. :( I wish she could see the light.

[SegRat]

Good luck, hang in there and things always seem to find a way to work out.

[Swaggs]

Good luck man.

I dont' have any good advice, but I wish you all the best.

I know you travel for your job, but how often are you home? Maybe if you stay away for a while she will realize what she is missing? An "absence makes the heart grow fonder" kind of thing? I know it's a risk - but if nothing else is working maybe you need to do something drastic. Maybe she needs to know that you can survive without her??? I really do hope things work out...and remember that you are the only one who can know what's right for you - even though we all give well meaning advice, you make the decisions :)

[Schmidty]

Wow. I apparantly missed this before.

AE, I can't imagine what you're going through. I can't imagine losing my wife in such a way. I don't what to say, other than that I'll be praying for you and your wife, buddy. :(

If you ever want to just vent or anything, just PM me.

[saldana]

i dont even know what to say Ardent, this is awful. i dont know what i would do if i had this situation...did you guys every go to counseling of any kind? maybe someone completely outside of your lives could get through to her about the letting go stuff a little better.

[Poli]

It's weird. We were having a good time living away from "home" out in Virginia until her parents divorced. In all honesty, her eating disorder kicked into high gear then.

When I went around South America travelling to our new home in San Diego, she tried to convince me to let her stay home. I wouldn't have that, and she came out to San Diego.

I thought we were happy, but I guess I was ignoring the fact she was sick. I've apologized a thousand and two times over for that. I'm sick of apologizing for it. She admitted she had a problem in the fall of 2002 and I sent her home to be with her family shortly thereafter. Not that I didn't want to see her, it's just I was going to sea a lot at the time, and was scheduled for deployment early the next year.

When I came back from deployment, she was "better" (though she has since relapsed), and I was expecting her to come up here with me to Chicago. She didn't want any of that. That's actually when she wanted divorce 1. I could go into all the names she called me/described me, but I don't want to rehash it. Simply put, she pinned her eating problems on me, which in my opinion is/was unfair.

Slowly...very slowly, we got better. We even looked at possibly moving her up here back in September...and were still talking about it right up until I got that blasted STD in October. That led to divorce request #2.

The STD (and I didn't cheat on her) really screwed her up in the head. She still doesn't 100% believe I'm telling the truth. She told her day as much within my earshot last month. Obviously, I wasn't supposed to hear it, but I did.

[Poli]

i dont even know what to say Ardent, this is awful. i dont know what i would do if i had this situation...did you guys every go to counseling of any kind? maybe someone completely outside of your lives could get through to her about the letting go stuff a little better.
She's seen a psychologist and psychiatrist (I don't know if I spelled those correctly), but right now she's not seeing either. She's had a "bad experience" with them, and again, can't let it go. She's not healthy and needs their help, but she refuses to see them.

We went to a marriage counselor after I came back from the deployment, but haven't since the STD scare in October (which, by the way, has since cleared up).

In trying to bring her up here, I tried to convince her we could see a counselor up here at the base. It didn't work.

[amdaily]

look, its probably the its the alcohol talking, but i went though a similar thing with a girl i've been seeing. bitch is fucked in the head. cut loose before she continues to suck you down the shithole she is headed for. yes, it will be very painful and very lonely for a long time, but in the grand scheme of things, that is better than walking over those eggshells for the rest of eternity.

I couldn't agree with you more AM. I probably wouldn't of worded it that way, but some good points.

AE, sounds like your wife still has some serious, deep issues. If she's not willing to help herself, there's nothing you, or the psychiatrist/psychologist can do for her. The decision in the end is up to her and if she's not willing to change for you or herself, why walk on eggshells your whole life?

[Lorena]

dola

I'll continue to keep you in my thoughts

I don't know what to say except that, man, I really hope for the best.

There's a reason "for better or for worse" is in the marriage vows.

Marriage is supposed to be something that can endure the hard times and the good times. "Cutting the bitch loose" because she's suffering from psychological issues sort of ignores the whole "for worse" thing, and I'm not sure it would really help *her.*

Just my two cents.

[WVUFAN]

My brother just went through a divorce, and he agrees with Hurst on this. Hang in there, because, eventually it will get better.

[Poli]

She was rehired by her boss at Allstate yesterday. I think having a job is a big deal for her, as it gives her less idle time and she can think about work instead of a million other useless things.

I've actually tried to talk her into going to college...something she never even attempted out of high school, despite her grades and class standing.

[oliegirl]

Hopefully that will be a positive change for her, and as a result, for you.

My mom works for Allstate, in the personal lines division here in Atlanta - it's called Encompass though...

Better to love and lost, or so I've been told...........

just remember if its true then you have a leg up on a lot of us...............

[Mo.Raider]

Stay away from the alcohol. It will only cloud the mind at a time when clarity and good decision making are desperately needed. I would suggest cleansing yourself of all the hurt, and throwing a life line out to your hurting wife. Becoming selfless in a time when you have every right to be selfish is a noble and hard thing to do.

You are in my family’s prayers.

[Poli]

The summons to court came in today, along with the divorce papers or whatever. She doesn't want the divorce anymore, but that doesn't help right now.

I wish I had something to do. I'm sad, I'm mad, and I just want to bang my head on the wall or something. Maybe I'll go into work early.

[WSUCougar]

Hang in there, Rodney.

[lytic]

Sounds like if you want to stay military than you need to do up that paperwork for the USAF ASAP. That whole going to sea thing isn't for all wife's.

[Poli]

Not sure I'm going to do the USAF...after talking to Dutch, I'm not sure that's for me.

[lytic]

It's better than the Navy (which I know you want out of). *shrugs* you got 8 years in, your almost at that halfway point, so it's up to you. Retiring at 38-40 and getting that house payment for the rest of my life is very comforting to me.

[stkelly52]

USAF is better, than the Navy, but you still need to deal with the year long unaccompanied tours to places like Korea.
If you still want to be able to get your retirment, you might consider doing the reserves for 12 years.

[lytic]

That's why you volunteer for the 7 accompanied short tour assignments. I just did 2 years in Iceland and don't have to worry about Korea. Iceland, by far, was my favorite assignment.

Reserves is what he was considering for a while. The thing with the Reserves is that the retirement doesn't kick in until you 65ish. Still, it's better than just wasting the 8.5 years IMO.

[Godzilla Blitz]

Just noticed this thread. Sorry to hear that things have been so tough, Ardent. Hang in there.

One day at a time, try to make things better each day.

It really does sound like your wife is dealing with some issues that she could use some outside help with.

[Poli]

Great News!!

She's flying up tonight to look at Naval housing!

I noticed the past few days she's been slipping into another depressed mood, and mentioned this morning that I still had a year up here...and there was no way the Navy was going to let me out of it. Even if we lived out in town, a year's lease and we're back home. At least I'd be home with her every night.

She kind of laughed it off.

Three hours later, she's telling me about everything she can find on the internet about Great Lakes Naval housing!

An hour after that, she's calling to ask me if she can fly up tonight to look at homes tomorrow!

How cool is that?? :):):):)

[DaddyTorgo]

AWESOME ardent...congrats. must be tough living apart, and i think living together will certainly help things, and it will of course help you to be there with her to help her through her issues.

[SirFozzie]

ROCK ON!

[Eaglesfan27]

That is awesome news. When I was a resident, a few of the Child Psychiatry Fellowships I looked at wanted me to do some odd travel things where I would be away from my wife a month or two at a time. I ultimately refused those fellowships because my wife and I agreed that it would be too difficult on our marriage to be away from each other for extended periods of time. I hope that this works out and that it strengthens your marriage.
