I'm sorry to hear you are going through a tough time, but I really don't think you'll ever fully appreciate the bullet you just dodged either.
Take care of yourself, and get back on that horse! Just don't decide to marry it![]()

It's over......................
Well I guess "shit happens"

why did it end?
That happens a lot -- but not always.a creed said:What's up my friend.............
I don't like throwing blame around, and I wish her all the best in her future endeavors, but it "seemed like" the more time I spent bettering myself (occupation, health, lifting) the more she began to resent me.
I don't know.................

Hope everything works out man, take things one day at a time.
mrplunkey said:That happens a lot -- but not always.
At least you hadn't spent 15 years vastly improving both your and her standard of living before things fell apart.
That's actually a real problem. This is going to sound sexist, but their youth and energy and yes... looks are a big part of what a woman brings to a table -- not unlike a man. Over time, these attributes fade for both generders. As long as the relationship grows and shifts gears things seem to work. Problem is, guys often appreciate in value -- better job, higher net worth, nicer living conditions. Women can also appreciate over time -- become a better partner/companion, contribute to the household income (or even be the bread winner), etc. etc. But if the woman instead feels entitled over time as opposed to focusing on how to best increase her own value, you wake up one day with a wealthy successful man and a spoiled, entitled housewife.
And no, i'm not saying all or even the majority of women do this -- but some do.
You're welcome.a creed said:I definitey see your point.
Thanks for the words of advice and condolence
mrplunkey said:You're welcome.
Now keep increasing your value like mad, become a mid-30's financial success, and go snag you a nice, young trophy chick (having fun along the way)!
(pssst -- but don't marry her either!)
Oh wow... another 77 years and you'll be ready for marriage!!!a creed said:I'm already 33 - but I "do" have a Master Plan

Now enjoy those years first.

alien amp pharm said:That sounds like what I went thru. I dated my ex for 3 years and was engaged for 6 months also.
She began slowly becoming distant during our engagement.
She ended up breaking up and then marrying a guy she hung around at school while we were together. (doesn't require much thinking to know what happened there)
She was and is still hot, but she was always bitchy so I thank my lucky stars today that some other guy ended up with her bitchiness rather than me.

a creed said:That sucks bro - but if we learn from these misfortunes, then we are better for having gone through them.

Forge said:I have to agree with this sentiment. I've been divorced now for just over a year, and this past year may have been the best of my life. I'm 34, saving more money than ever, the house will be paid off in less than 8 years, just bought a new zero turn tractor, about to buy carpet and central air, enjoying dating and hobbies and time with friends so much that my life is busier now than when I was married. The best though are the nights where I stay home and do whatever the hell I want, watch a movie, play a video game, have a little wine, read a book, work on the Jeep, plan the deck I'm going to build next year...
Take your time to heal and shit, but don't stop living just because you are single. Enjoy your time for yourself while you can, do what YOU want to do, someday you may find yourself in love and married not able to do the things you can now that you are "free".
HumanTarget said:sorry bud. i've been relationship free for one year, as of yesterday. i feel like a drunk at his first meeting......
what's sex?Gymgurl said:When you have sex do you feel like you are on a binge.....with no end in site..
lol, you poor boyHumanTarget said:what's sex?
alien amp pharm said:May I ask you what you do for a living?
If I recall you have a secluded nice house in the woods with quite a bit of land.
That is my ideal place, but it's hard to come by having to work in a city each day.
I wish I had no job, then I could fully enjoy what you speak of.
