Attn divorcees, do you regret getting divorced?

Bro, you're in Florida. No one reads books there. If you had sold hair gel, sunglasses, baby size shirts, and other douchebag accessories you would have been raking in the dough.

Opening up a book shop in Florida is like opening up a surfboard shop in Vermont.

I do....

This was before the thunderous coming of the dreaded E-readers. Everything went to shit when they became more widespread. I still love the musty smell of an old used book store.

Ehhh, everything must die eventually.

After reading your OP its for the best TS. It'll make for a much more positive environment for your children, then you can get on Ghosts with me without the evil sneer of Satan bringing you down. At least your children live in the same state. I too was married 8 awful years, have 2 daughters, ECT. My ex was quite scandalous, yet I thought these issues would end. We could never see eye to eye. It became a matter of torturing myself to live with my children. Don't get me wrong, I get down about them...often. Then, because I've aged considerably better then ye ol battleaxe, I get some fresh flings from younger, hotter, and more compatible women. Don't fuck it up if you find a dimepiece because you're unwilling to commit, you'll end up regretting that one too. Go smash a few guts and have a good time. Treat your freedom as a breath of fresh air. Both you and her CAN DO BETTER!!! Keep any bullshit thoughts like "maybe this was the best I'll ever do" on the backburner, bro. There's plenty of fish in the sea!

You find yourself needing a good support channel send me a PM I'll friend you on Facebook. I'd actually friend quite a few Mayberry members...good peeps, even the ones I occasionally do battle with

People's perception of marriage is very odd to me. I get people all the time ask how I could tie myself down so early in life and other such synonyms for throwing my life away, whereas for me I saw it as total freedom to be myself entirely with somebody and embrace a life together. Complete liberation rather than subordination.

Does your wife nag?

Its brutal.

One more thing TS, in my experience women...um...they move fast. Don't take it personal, don't judge yourself with a side by side comparison. Just move on. It hurts.

I wasn't gonna go there but...

Her boyfriend called me one day, I didn't have the heart to put her down to him, lol. I knew everything she was putting him through, before he said it. My girlfriends all wondered what the fuck my ex was talking about when she talked shit about me. Its bliss, if you can pat yourself on the back TS...do it. The sidelines can be a confidence boost.


...or a curse

K, now I'm done cluttering your thread. Stay hopeful. Go have sex, it helps

My wife and I just got separated. We're trying to decide if divorce is necessary at this time. The reason behind it is basically 8 years of a miserable marriage. 8 years ago, I pretty much wasn't ready to get married, never envisioned being married to her, then knocked her up. We agreed to get married and have been in a less than storybook relationship ever since. We actually get along fine and she's a good, down to earth person but I never felt she was "the one." I admit I'm only in it for the kids. We have 3 daughters together and they mean everything to me. We've agreed to split the time with them 50%. I also anticipate paying about $600 for child support since she has been receiving $200 for each of my stepkids she had before we met.

It's a tough decision I could use some input for. My main concern is for my daughters.

so you only married her after having a kid together?

so why did you decide to have two more kids?

seems like a little negligent

He was trying to work it out. They wanted to be together forever. Sherdog was always full of hindsight genius

he indicated that he didn't want to be with her at all, and was trapped into the relationship because "he knocked her up"

clearly it was a loveless relationship

it's one thing to take responsibility for the child you do have, it's still something amiss when you bring more children into a climate where the parents do not love each other
 
Touche. TS, care to confirm?

I was caught up in my own emotions

Still defending him. Many of us need to learn these lessons for ourselves

Staying married for the sake of the kids CAN work. If it weren't for my kids I would've left my wife 10 times over, but I always stayed for the kids. And little by little the marriage started to get better too, so that even when my kids are grown I'll probably stick around.

All these people that are saying you can't be in a bad marriage and still be a good parent are just using that as an excuse to make the selfish decision. If you're really a man you can sacrifice your own happiness AND hide it from your children.

This is my favorite post in the thread.

I don't know when the ideal adult became someone who puts their own desires before everything else, but I'm not at all a fan of that idea. There is nothing more noble than sacrificing your own happiness for something greater. I figured that was kinda the point of marriage/family.
 
When incompatibility turns the household into a battleground, this nobility often becomes foolishness. Divorce is often the tougher and more noble route. I was scared to leave my marriage. Truly afraid that I was going to be miserable the rest of my life. I felt a lot like TS did at the start of my marriage, but I did loved my wife, dearly. She was part of my identity and my life. I fought my ass off...for insanity. My daughters deserve better the an unstable household with butting heads. You do not have to live together to be good parents. His post was foolish
