Chris1989 Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 A few nights back, because I am a good person, I spent the evening and night looking after my wife as she simultaneously shit herself and threw up from food poisoning, helped her sweaty fevered body back to the bedroom and got her water whilst she recovered. I stayed in the bed with her to help her as and when she needed it. Her words 12 hours after the sickness kicked off: "I've been asking myself over the last 24 hours, but particularly since last night, what the hell am I doing?" I've also been told it's fine to share a bed again. It changes nothing as to how I see things. I am still actively working towards my future goals as a single or married man. At least she seems to be realising how much she has taken me for granted and she is appreciating me somewhat more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris1989 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I ended the relationship last night. Things haven't been progressing. She realises she needs me, but she doesn't love me. The final straw was when she suggested an open marriage. I asked her if she was serious, she said it wasn't ideal but it was an option. I ended it there and then. No way am I going to be in a marriage where my wife is fucking other guys. What a heartless and horrible way for her to bring about the end of our marriage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sorry man Yeah, that was the "I like all the benefits I get of living with you, and I want to keep them all, but I don't want to actually give you any affection in return" message. Hence me ending it instantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1989 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Sent her the separation agreement last night. Feels good to finally be putting it to bed. Just need to get the money out of her to actually pay for the divorce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted Monday at 01:05 AM Share Posted Monday at 01:05 AM I was reading through some old posts... Wow, I really used to bare my soul in here . Some of them made me want to cringe into a singularity, which is (maybe) an indicator that I've grown a bit, although I do feel like young me had his heart in the right place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you always came across as a solid guy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
