amethyst3 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 For those of you on this board who have gone through a divorce, what was the reason for your divorce? For those who have known someone else that divorced, what was their primary reason. Just curious. I appeciate it!
amaysngrace Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I got divorced because I couldn't stand the d bag and he made my life living hell.
marlena Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 he made my life living hell. That's it. A living hell. Divorce was the best thing that happened to me.
sally4sara Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 He was/is a drunk. He did everything wrong you can do wrong as a spouse, but it was all due to his addiction. We got married young and I didn't know an alcoholic from a wino. He'd get better, then go back, he'd get better, then worse. He got sober again and we had one good year after 7 bad ones, and he started again. That was it for us.
br0ken_w0lf Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 Myself and a friend of mine are both going through one right now (not final but certainly looking that way). In both cases, there were none of the typically bad reasons (physical/alcohol/drug abuse, constant arguing, etc.). Our wives seemed to grow restless and decided that they wanted something else.
PinkRibbon Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 He cheated on me, threw me out of the house and isn't talking to me. That's why we are divorcing. He is a selfish p**k.

For those who have known someone else that divorced, what was their primary reason. Just curious. I appeciate it! She cheated and she was verbally abusive. That and I no longer wanted to live with a witch. Life is too short.
Art_Critic Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I divorced to save my life.. I also divorced to become who I am today as well as to be able to experience the kind of loving relationship that I have with my wife today. If I had stayed married I would have never met my now wife.. who is the love of my life.. and it took my previous marriage
sedgwick Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 For us it was that the sex was nonexistent. He had significant sexual issues and anytime I tried to bring them up he got very angry. I lived in a sexless marriage for six years and then finally decided I couldn't do it anymore. I don't think he's had sex since we broke up in 2001. That said, we're still very close friends.

If I had stayed married I would have never met my now wife.. who is the love of my life.. and it took my previous marriage So agree here AC!!! My first husband spent all of this time pursuing his hobbies and wasn't there for me or the children. Look up selfish in the dictionary and he would be there. I just got to the point where I couldn't tolerate it.

I'm curious about your signature line. The West Memphis three?? Do you know anything about the case?? Send me a PM.

Blackfrost Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 Because, I will not be controlled by a meglomaniac who doesn't put out.
amaysngrace Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 This is such a happy thread! No negative emotions here.
PinkRibbon Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 wife just like to sleep with other people its what makes her feel good about herself the excitement of the chase. once a cheater always a cheater right? Amen to that!
alterego1234 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I don't know; you'd have to ask my ex. It was her idea. I was going to ask her but once I figured out that she was through with me and wasn't willing to work at the marriage, I realized that the reason didn't matter.
sedgwick Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) mspixie: wm3.org! Yes, I know a lot about the case, lived in Arkansas when it happened. They desperately need donations to keep the appeal going. If you give even a buck, you're making a difference. < / speech > To make this a somewhat relevant thread -- I just heard from a friend of mine from high school. He married a girl we also went to high school with (got her pregnant our senior year.) Their kid just went to college and the two of them had planned for two years to move to another town and start a new life together, just the two of them. He had been holding out for that for a while, since it hadn't been just them since they were 16. Well, a week after they got there, she left him for a guy she met online. He had quit his job and packed up all their belongings and there he was in their new apartment all alone, with no job. So he packed up and moved back, and the guy she met online left his wife to be with my friend's wife. My friend said the guy's wife called her and begged her not to do this and to let them try to save their marriage, and she said no dice and the two of them moved in together. My friend, who's a good-looking, intelligent guy, described this dude as looking like Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons and claiming he's a witch. So now his wife is all into witchcraft. So there's a divorce for ya. Edited January 15, 2008 by sedgwick
carrot10 Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 I left because he works too much and NEVER had time for my daughter and me. When he did have time, he did stuff that only he enjoyed. I tried for 10 years. Leaving was the best (not the easiest) decision that I made for the both of us. We are like best friends now. It's funny how that works out.
Crestfallen_KH Posted January 15, 2008 Posted January 15, 2008 He moved in with another woman and didn't even want to consider working on the marriage. So, easy choice!
toomany Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I changed my life and he refused to change with me. I grew, he stayed the same. I lost over 100 pounds and the more I lost the worse he treated me. The more confidence I gained the more I realized how badly he had treated me through the years. I don't hold ant resentments for him, we just dirfted apart and I went a different path then his.

So there's a divorce for ya. Thanks for the best laugh I had all day, Sedgwick. Not that it's funny, but the final lines about the Simpsons character and claiming to be a witch are too much. And then summing it up with "so there's divorce for ya"....yep, that's about right. There is probably no point in asking "why" in many cases.
jeffrey_e Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 My wife left me because she was approching 50 and asked her self " Is this all there is to my life " so after 28 years she left.
