You already have one amazing striped series. Its even better because i molested it awhile before you got it🤣
 
Congrats. i don't even need to know the details, CONGRATS TO YOU! marriage is fucking dumb, and out dated. relationships should be allowed to, and expected to just run their course, and not be essentially a "forever" legal agreement.

i'm coming up on my 2nd year being divorced, 3ish separated after a 22 year relationship right out of high school.
Everything got so much better so fast after i got divorced. everyone told me it would, but more has changed in 2 years than in like 15 in that marriage.
I've been given the freedom of being able to live my life by my own rules and without a toxic mother like figure always passing on her own shame, judgement, and insecurities on to me.

Freedom in life is very important for over all happiness.

I agree with you 100%. I took the day of and the day after off so that I can celebrate. I've had people tell me they are sorry and I'm like don't be, I'm happy as can be. We split in summer of '21 so this has been a long time coming, and I am so ready for it !
 
Congratulations.

Divorce was finalized in 2017 after 2 year separation; I lost half my wealth, and had to pay alimony and child support; I have three more years of alimony to go. When we separated, sold our house and split the proceeds; I got my small beach house, and I'm still here; I focused on my kid, my work and rebuilding my wealth; got into keyboards, boating, and more; did archery, long range shooting, fishing, basketball, swimming with my kid,

I was still young-ish enough to try dating again, and dated a few women around half my age or less; one was exactly half my age, and we lasted about 6 months. Now it's much more sporadic, enjoying my solitude, hobbies; music; restored two custom choppers, new 2026 C8 Stingray, looking at a small fishing boat, and a coastal cruising sailboat; planning road trips for the spring and summer, maybe international travel - I used to travel for work and really don't like long flights to get where I want to go...

Get something you've always wanted, now that you only have to answer to yourself, your goals, your life, your money....it's very liberating.

Cheers!
 
i always hear sad stories about divorce and money. i always hear "i lost half". the way i look at it, i gained everything i needed and left the trash behind. I walked away from my divorce with 50/50 custody and 55k-ish in cash. All because we bought a house together in 2010 after the market crash. She had to get her own mortgage and buy me out of my equity or be forced to sell the house and split it. if it wasn't for that, then yeah, i'd probably be living out of my car right now but i'd be happeir than i was.
 
I gave away a house, pretty much everything in it, a car, and years of child support when I went through a divorce. Bought a Taylor 414RCE as a present to myself. Had to sell that a few years later to continue to fund my ex who was horrible with money for the sake of the kids. I still say that divorces are expensive because they are worth it. Good luck!
 
You really got to establish the boundaries early on as the man. Our marriage is definitely not "happy wife, happy life" -- more like "happy king, happy kingdom". Is there still risk in my situation? Sure. Women are always women. However, you can reduce your risk if you know what signs to watch out for and if you set the boundaries early. I learned the hard way when I was young that if you don't set the boundaries, she'll never accept your changes later on. It does make me happy to see fewer men getting married, as we do need to get rid of the state's involvement in it and we need to get rid of alimony. Divorce is also a huge booming business for lawyers (disgusting).

Anyway, glad you're feeling better after the divorce. I know the feeling of leaving a bad relationship and it feels like being born again. :D
