Dang! Having been through one before, I will say this. It will make sense after some time but probably not right now. I would go through it all again to be where I am today.
Also been through a divorce. I'm so sorry. *hugs*. And like TXGunGeek... I have ended up in a better place. Though at the time, I didn't feel that way. Not for a long time.
I've seen marriages dissolve. It's never a pretty thing. My own 25 year marriage went down in flames even though I wanted nothing more than to walk away quietly.
Sorry to hear this. Don't know you, can't say I know exactly how you feel, but FWIW I probably have a pretty good idea. Facing similar crap after over 25 years of marriage myself.
I was here yesterday and wanted to say something but didn't know what. I am so sorry you have to face this. . . All I could think to say was "Ouch!" as Og did.
All I can say is if there is even an iota of glimmer of a higgs bosun of a chance to work it out: stow every bit of your egos and resentments that you guys possibly can and get to counseling. Even if you DON'T think there's a chance, try anyway.
Because as much as you think this is going to suck, it's going to be worse. For both of you. It always is. I'd like to be able to put some comforting platitudes here, but it wouldn't be honest.
That said, anytime you need someone to talk to, you have my number (I think, if not I know you have my e-mail).
Just a lurker usually. Sorry to hear about this. Mine of Twenty years did the same almost exactly six years ago. I was devastated. Now, remarried to a Wonderful Lady. Couldn't have turned out better. Hope you're doing a little counseling for yourself. It helps. Prayers.
I've contemplated murder a few times but never divorce. My brother's first marriage fell apart over money and booze. (Not enough of the first, too much of the second.) Avoid bitterness if you can. I'll be thinking about you and remembering you to God.
I kinda fell off the blogosphere for a while and now I finally get myself back to making the rounds and I see this. I'm so very very sorry. There are no words.

ReplyDeleteHang in there!
WTF? (Pardon my language.) That startled me out of my coma.
ReplyDeleteHarvey, thanks for the heads-up. I know I don't comment much, but this one seemed to jolt me a bit.
ReplyDeleteCrud...
No good advice to offer. Never been through one, even though it coulda happened many times. All of my siblings have, and I know that it sucks.
You (and your wife) will be in my prayers (for whatever my prayers are worth these days...).
Well Harv, that is miserable. I hope things work out for the best, either way.
ReplyDeleteAlso been through a divorce. I'm so sorry. *hugs*. And like TXGunGeek... I have ended up in a better place. Though at the time, I didn't feel that way. Not for a long time.
ReplyDeleteOuch! I'm...
ReplyDeleteOuch. You need anything, you know where I am.
**hugs**

ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteHarv, no idea what you must be going through, but as Sir Winston said, "When you're going through hell, keep on going." Hang tough.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry, my friend!!
ReplyDeleteHoly socks. I haven't been reading here enough. Best wishes to you Harvey - I think the world of you. ~Jimmy
ReplyDeleteCould've sworn I posted the most wise and comforting comment there has ever been, but it appears to have disappeared. You 'vet been on my mind.
ReplyDeleteShit, I'm sad to hear that, my friend. Hang in there, blogfather.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap, Harvey. Hang in there the best that you can. I doubt that there's anything I can do, but let me know if there is.
ReplyDeleteHarvey my brother, I'm there right now too. Keep your chin up and I'll keep mine just as high.
