I mentioned this in chat tonight, so I may as well mention it here now. Mrs JB and I are getting divorced. It sucks, but let me just say that my wife and I are still extremely close friends. What it boiled down to was that we make very good friends - in some ways, a lot like Jerry and Elaine - but we just don't make particularly compatible married partners. The good news is that both she and I are ok with it and we still plan on remaining lifelong friends. In fact, since we came to this decision, we've probably gotten along better than we have in years and we'll be roommates for a while, which is good for both of us. It's really comforting to know that, unlike so many who haven't been as fortunate, we can continue to share in a great friendship even when the marriage just didn't work. So, I'll be single again soon. Definitely a weird feeling, but, it's all good. Anybody got Jennifer Aniston's number?
I am sorry to hear that, if you didn't have kids things will go easier. I am a 5 year divorced vet with kids, kids make it hard.
Sorry to hear that, Jeff, but it sounds like you guys have really thought it out and have figured out what's best for both of you. I'm glad that you're on good terms. I've always admired your (plural) posts on relationships and people. You and Mrs. JB have always seemed as cool as Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are hot. I sincerely wish both of you well.
No. Jeff, I know I don't post too much, but I've read this board mostly every day for the last 6 years, from all over the country and the world. I've always quietly admired you Jeff and even though I disagree with many of your opinions, you seem to live life the right way, like a role model of some sorts, from the Rockets Saved, to your kindness, and everything. I wish you the best of luck in life in finding someone who might eventually be your true love and eternal wife.
Jeff, Knowing both of you guys, I am sorry it came to this. I am glad (and not surprised) that you were both able to be civil and stay friends. You are simply good people. Best of luck to both of you. PS - Kids are easy with a split-up, but 641 cats? Now that takes some maneuvering. PPS - You had to work in a Seinfeld reference, didn't you?
Good luck to both of you. I think keeping the friendship will ease the transition for both of you will be a good thing in the long haul, but it might make for some awkward moments. All my best. Fully
Jeff... I am so sorry. I guess it was kind of surprising, since it always sounded like such a great relationship... but, of course, that's only what the rest of us could "see" through the Internet. I'm sure you did everything you could to make it work. Relationships, and marriage, aren't easy. Everyone who wants to generalize about it hasn't really been through it. Best of luck keeping it amicable, and hopefully things will improve... and life will lead you in some better direction. Maybe to a better "soul mate", as was posted above. Take care and let us know how you're doing... I know it's got to be weird right now.
Sorry to hear it didn't last in marriage, but glad to hear yall are friends and all. Damnit beltran....
Best of luck to both of you guys. My parents getting divorced was probably a good thing, they became great friends after the divorce, just not good as a couple.
not really good luck, but best wishes for the rest of your lives. one of the few times that the ol' clutcheroo will have to change somebody's screenname for a good reason.
