You crack me up. Sorry for the weak post in the midst of the Commie Usurper, Saint Trayvon, Illegals Marching and Muslims setting up Sha’ria courts here...
I can only deal with the pain I feel inside. It is making me really feel down.
I divorced the same woman twice, so who am I to give someone advice?
He’s right though, I have my two sons as example, one is married 20 yrs, overcame all the things you are talking about and is in love with his wife. His kids are healthy, happy and achievers. His wife went to school when the kids got older and makes money up the wazoo, they still live on his income and spend her money on fun, investments and savings. The kids are almost grown and the oldest has scholarships to pay for her college including room and board. Both the kids have jobs.
My other son is divorced, his wife was, like you are today, looking for excitement and adventure, not the mundane, up and down life that marriage is. Their children have had a really tough life. They have spent most of their life alone because a judge allowed their mother to move across the country. Their mother works a little, parties a lot, doesn’t even provide all the basic needs for them, while my son sends her over a third of his take home pay.
I buy just about everything they need except the roof over their heads which is in the highest crime area in their city. They sit alone in an apartment while she works part time and parties full time.
Oh yeah, I’ve been married 42 years, there have been times when I plotted his death, lol. We are very happy and I can say that we’ve been happy for most of the time but in the bad times you just plod through it.
I have watched so many of my friends divorce and remarry and have all the same problems as in the first, second and third marriage. So many of them have never found happiness and contentment. They found the grass was not greener and their children suffered greatly and as a rule, are less successful than the kids who grew up with their dysfunctional married parents.
