Hey, all. Thanks for all the well wishes. Just to answer a few questions. 1. The cats will not be a problem. We already have that worked out as that was an important element for us. 2. As weird as it sounds, I seriously doubt that dating while still in the same house will become an issue. I won't bother detailing the reasons I know for a fact this won't be an issue, but suffice it to say that life goes on and we both know that. Plus, we each really want the other to be happy and that is a part of it. 3. As for the vegetarian thing, that is something I was asked recently and it kind of surprised me because I never really thought about eating meat now. She wasn't the reason I became a vegetarian. She was an influence, obviously, but not the reason. I can't see myself going back to eating meat after all these years. ---- I know that a lot of you are shocked by this. In truth, it was shocking for both of us when this all came up, but as we've gotten some distance from it, we can see that the problems that were there represented fundamental differences in how we view relationships. The differences allow us to be the best of friends, but they make it impossible to maintain a healthy marriage. Thanks again for all of the well wishes. I'll keep everyone posted on how things are going.
Sorry to hear that, Jeff. Divorce is very prevelant in my family so I know all about it, which is one of the main reasons why I'm still single at 35. At least you guys are still going to be friends. So are you still going to live in the same house? If you don't mind my asking...
When I saw the title, I was hoping you were posting about a new reality show or something. Good luck to ya'll; you seem like such good people.
Not permanently, but for a while. I will, ultimately, be keeping the house, but we'll both be here for a while for reasons too boring to mention.
For 2 people I've never met personally and only had sparce communication with over via a keyboard and screen, I can honestly say that I have more respect for you guys than many, if not most, of the people with whom I have daily interaction. I wish you both nothing but the best.
Give me a D an I a V O R C E. Divorce, Divorce, DIVORCE! [cheerleader cheer] Terrible to kid around at a time like this, but I think you may need to smile. I am sorry that this is happening to you, but since both of you are agreeing with it and there are no children involved, its going to be okay. It's gonna take some time, but it will be okay. Remember, if you ever see my black truck outside of my business. Stop by and the first beer is on me.
truly, truly sorry . don't know if you like nirvana, but: Teenage angst has paid off well Now I'm bored and old Self-appointed judges judge More than they have sold If she floats than she is not A witch like we had thought A down payment on another One at salem's lot Serve the servants - Oh no (x4) That legendary divorce is such a bore As my bones grew they did hurt They hurt really bad I tried hard to have a father But instead I had a dad I just want you to know that I Don't hate you anymore There is nothing I could say That I haven't thought before Serve the servants - Oh no (x4) That legendary divorce is such a bore Serve the servants - Oh no (x7) That legendary divorce is such a bore
Something I thought I should say is that this isn't something that happened yesterday. I realized that I hadn't even said anything about the timeline and it made me sound like we made the decision on Friday and I'm fine by Sunday! Actually, this had been coming for a while and we decided all this almost a month ago. We just kept it to ourselves and just a few people until after the holidays. I figured it would eventually come up, so I went ahead an posted it now. I didn't want anyone to have the impression that this was really easy or fun. It was neither. If you had seen me a few weeks ago, well, it wasn't pretty.
Wow. This is sad. You were like the atypical nice guy rocker band member fanboard moderator dude. And Miss J seemed pretty nice before she disappeared, too. Good luck, I guess... hell, I don't know what to say...
surprising..... and not surprising... seems to happen to too many good people. but you both have to do what you have to. good luck.
I've only interacted with you via the bbs, but you both have been great posters. From what little I've been able to gleam for those posts, you sound like a real quality person. The Mrs. even was kind enough to send me a Pilates tape. It sounds like yall are making the best of something that must be very difficult. I wish you the best.
