Divorce after Twenty years together Community Group
I want to start something for those of us that were married for a long long time. I think that we face a little different issues than those who were dating for a few years or even married for shorter period of time. Being married for so long we have older children some have grandkids dealing with teenagers and their reaction to the divorice empty nesters dating after 40...
When Will It Be HIS TURN TO CRY AND BE SAD?
disneymom65
This is for all us girls who have asked that question a MILLION TIMES. Why doesn't HE FEEL PAIN? WHY DOESN'T HE CRY? WHEN WILL HE GET HIS RIGHT???? When and Who will hold him responsible for his Kids, for his Debt, for his Responsibilities? We created these kids together, we created this debt together, we brought home the pets together, EVERYTHING WAS LINKED BETWEEN THE TWO OF US RIGHT? So why the HELL does he get to decide that he's just walking away like a child who doesn't like the way the game is going and can simply say DO'S OVER!!!!! or NO FAIR START AGAIN!!! OR MY FAVORITE I'M NOT PLAYING ANYMORE. I'm a teacher and at my school when we start to play a game the kids are made to know from the start that if they sign up to play THEY MUST SEE IT THROUGH TIL THE END OF THE GAME. No matter what the outcome as long as you are doing your best and playing fair then it's ok.
Some of these run away Husbands could take lessons from my Kindergartener's who NEVER QUIT!!! And see the game all the way through. Even though they may not hit a home run or score a goal they have a sense of PRIDE WHEN THEY SIMPLY DO THE RIGHT THING, PLAY FAIR, AND PLAY TO THEIR BEST ABILITY. NO QUITTING EVER!!!!!! I know alot of us hold on to the HOPE that our stbx would just GET THEIRS!!! Right? Let me tell you the wheels of Justice do turn very slowly but they do turn. The emotional Healing takes time a little bit at a time but, Healing does come. For over a year now since my H totally walked out on never looked back there has been times when I thought THIS IS NOT FAIR!!!!! I AM CARRYING ALL THE BAGGAGE, I'M CARRYING ALL THE RESPONSIBILITY, THE KIDS, THE PETS, THE DEBT, EVERYTHING!!! Why does he just get to call DO'S OVER!!!!!!! There were nights when I PRAYED TO GOD THAT HE WOULD FALL OFF A ROOF RIGHT ON HIS BIG FAT HEAD AND ACTUALLY FEEL SOME PAIN!
These are normal responses for anybody who has gone through the PAIN OF DIVORCE. There is a happy ending around the corner for all of us. Don't give up and always remember that Women grieve FIRST AND FAST, MEN GRIEVE LATER AND LONGER. And for the wheels of Justice turning slowly well, it's been a year and they FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH HIM. $8,400 behind in support because he was self employed and fell under the radar. Now he has lost the business and took a job with a friends company and guess what happened as soon as his ssn was clocked in the system??? THAT'S RIGHT HELLO SWEET JUSTICE NOW THEY TAKE MOST OF HIS CHECKS FOR ME AND THE KIDS EVERY WEEK. PLUS ANY TAX RETURN, PLUS HE CAN'T EVEN REGISTER HIS TRUCK, OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT, APPLY FOR A LOAN, NOTHING!!!!! UNTIL IT'S ALL PAID UP.
He has to pay me back 50% of the money I have spent paying down the debt since he RAN LIKE A COWARD. SO MY FIRST AND FAST IS NOW SLOWLY COMING TO AND END AND GUESS WHAT? HIS LATER AND LONGER IS JUST STARTING...... SO WHEN PEOPLE SAY T NOW YOUR GETTING ALL YOUR SUPPORT EVERY MONTH AND YOUR EX IS SLOWLY CRASHING DOWN INTO THE ABYSS WHATCHA GONNA DO NOW???
I'M GOING TO DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
I don't love who he is right now and i have to much pride to take him back but God help me i still love who he was for all those years that he treated me like a Queen. :(
Sometimes i just want things back the way they were but i know i could never be with him knowing what he is capable of now. On top of that he would not even want me back because id never ever in a million years even if he were the last man on earth have relations with him again(if you know what i mean)...
And if it is not all sad enough i don't think i have it in me to wish sadness or any unhappiness on him. (now the OW that's another story, id love to personally dish her out some karma my style but not worth the jail time)
I missed the red hot anger stage towards him :(
Oh hell im starting to miss the SOB....
I think their first great loss is when we let them go. Didn't beg them to come back or stay anymore.
I moved out of my trophy house because it wasn't me. It was our home but it had too many memory triggers. The new place is mine and very feminine compared to how I used to decorate. Good for you decorating for yourself.
iammine-That is a tough way to end your marriage. Really heartless. That says a lot about him. Try to believe this will be a good move for you. I found that when I let go of some things, new things came into my life.
The very best thing that you can do during and after divorce, is to go on and live life and do the very best you can to find happiness. I have a friend, we all cringe when she shows up because all she does is go on and on about how she was wronged, her divorce, how he better get his someday, on and on. We were divorced in the same year, 2008 and that whole vengeful is getting old and it is aging her! People are avoiding her.. and then I have to hear how lucky I am.. it is not luck, it is work on our part to move on. Don't be a victim.. Living well is truly the best revenge.. and Decorate then Date! Working on me, my life, my house and what I want.. Priceless. God is not vengeful and if that is in your heart, it will only hurt you, not the ex.. I wish all that they reach the point of peace in their life. You are all worth it! HUGS
Blessings,
