Ugh. My ex-husband read that and used it as justification for acting like an A-hole.

Not always true. Two people enter a Jail being booked on charges of Murder. They both are booked and are assigned to their home away from home (cells). An hour or two goes by and the Detention Officer walks by to make rounds. 1st murder suspect is pacing back and forth in his cell and tells the guard he is innocent, the 2nd suspect is sound alseep in his cell. Who is Guilty of Murder?


The suspect who is sound alseep ! Why? Because he knows he's been caught.
...cool story...but this is a divorce, not anyone being arrested for murder. Anyway, he already says she's not been cheating. Very good advice from Grooveyjeff. Sounds like the first step to a solid plan (no pun intended GJ LOL!) Best of luck to you Eric.

I'm sorry about your situation. She obviously doesn't realize that she should be supportive and understand that sometimes you are not always going to be happy or whatever the hell she wants you to be. Work is stressful, life is stressful.....she needs to realize she may never find the happiness she thinks she wants. You have to be flexible, understand, loving, and sometimes just there to take someone's crap when they are not in the best mood....thats what being in love and caring for someone is about. Knwing that sometimes, you just need to be there for them, even when they act like idiots. We all do it, its sad that some people can just quit like that.

OMG. I got tears in my eyes just now. I think you are freaking awesome and its sad to hear this going on to you.
I remember not to long ago you moved across the country for her.
I am not going to say she is evil because I don't know her or anything but still its sounds just so wrong.
You have my support.
I would like to say something thoughtful and kind but I can't think of anything. Darn it.

Divorce sux!! On the bright side... There are plenty of fish in the sea. If you dont work it out with her I'm sure you'll find someone who understands you. Maybe another nurse. Her loss.

Mate, from reading your posts I figure that you have two choices to make:

1/ Fight, get bitter and still find yourself ******** about her in 20 years time.

or

2/ Heal yourself, adjust to the situation and move on.

One of these solutions seems easier to start with when emotions are high but only one will make you feel good in yourself later on. By reading your posts I think you are on the right track.

I have been there, done that, (and she got the t-shirt) but I am happy, a new woman, too many kids and a good job and I can go months without thinking about whatsername.

Just a quick update since I spilled my guts in here earlier. The divorce is final, papers are in. We settled out of court, she paid all the lawyer fees. From what I understand, her lawyer told her to settle out of court regardless of what that took, because if it went to court, I'd mop the floor with her. The lawyer I had, who simply had one advisory meeting with me said the same thing...........if there was anything I didn't like, let it go to court cause I'd win whatever I wanted and then more. Said this after a short conversation with her lawyer. I wasn't sure why. Now that the papers are in, signed and final, she has opened up a bit and let her true colors show and its all much easier to understand.

Seems that while we were in Seattle, as travel nurses, she went to the ER with vaginal bleeding (this part I knew about). They told her to see an OBGYN STAT. She did follow up with one appointment in Seattle, told me nothing was revealed. When we were back in PA though, she had a couple more appointments with a OBGYN her mom knew. Turns out, she was told she'd never have kids. This is of no surprise to me, she quit talking about having a family while we were in PA. I thought it was cause she was upset with me, she did say a couple times that I wouldn't make a good father anyway.

So, after hearing this news, she decided being married was not for her. Turns out she only got married to have the kids. Since kids are not in the future anymore, she wants to be with different "types of men". Hence, the divorce. She is now looking for........hmmm, how'd she put it........"Someone a little less stay at home, less into playstation and more into going to theaters and exotic trips." IDK what that means.

That part of life is over for me now. A lot of long term goals being taken off the shelf and getting the focus they deserve. Weight loss, quitting smoking and school. We'll see how it goes.

I'm glad for you that things went so amicably. Now that it's over, you're free to move on with your life. Good luck!

Ty.

I might find me a job that doesn't require me to work nights. I can move anywhere now.

Good for you - it sounds like you are off to a productive start.

My thoughts are with you.
