    Do you even know the historical significance of Franz Ferdinand and Isabel?!?

    You might want to google WWI.

    You know, I'm pretty sure "Isabel and Ferdinand" isn't a World War I reference.

    Dear Ferdinand:

    Your wife loathes you.
    You have no friends.
    You are barely employable.
    You have no money.
    You live in Podunk, Texas.

    Can life be any worse?

    OK, seriously, quit that. He's having a hard enough time right now without us making his life look worse. And we figured out he might be reading this.

    I really do feel bad for him. I know he thought he had someone he could always count on, for the obvious physical stuff and also to go out to eat with or go hiking with (even if he didn't talk to me much when we were there, or try to make sure I was having a good time), and that's gone. :( The problem is: the only way I could help would be to go back there and get back into that. Just disappear into the dysfunction. I have no love or affection left for him and I feel like he was a negative person who was just dragging me down with him. I would end up bitter and resentful. It's not fun to have someone you can't stand touching you. (and not particularly minding if you can't stand it, because "we're married, like it or not"... I've actually gotten that line from him at times) I know, if my life as a person matters at all, then it's best that I be out of there.

    -a guilt-tripped Isabel who should know better than to pick up the phone at certain times...

    Wow, that's reason enough to pull the plug. If I couldn't stand to touch my wife (or vice versa), my marriage would be over in a nanosecond.

    I know that my input may seem to be mixed signals. Think of it this way:

    I don't control the choices you make. In a situation like yours, if someone is in the marriage and doesn't know what to do, I usually recommend that they stay in the marriage and that both people work hard to make the relationship work.

    In your circumstance, what was really adding to your misery was indecision: leave or stay. My comments at that time were trying to be constructive in removing that indecision. I wanted to try to help you overcome that, make a decision for yourself, and reach a conclusion.

    You've now made a choice. Made your decision. So, now, I'm trying to provide constructive input on how to move forward in that decision.

    In other words, I'm trying to help you move forward with the choices you are making (but not trying to make the choices for you).

    Bell, if you need to, you should talk to my sister, who just completed a divorce that has made her much happier. She was married and has 4 children. Suck on that for a while. She really really felt guilty that SHE was the one who was bringing the proceedings.

    She didn't love him.

    Long story short, it was the right decision.

    I just Googled "Isabel and Ferdinand." The first ten links refer to the monarchs of Spain that lived in the late 1400's and early 1500's. I'm pretty sure World War I was four centuries or so later.

    Not to mention that the Archduke Ferdinand's wife was NOT named Isabel - imagine that - her name was Sophie. :eek: :p

    Yeah, they are the ones who bankrolled Christopher Columbus so he could steal North America from the Vikings and the Chinese.
