Divorcing empty nesters...
Discussion
Why does it seem that once children leave the home couples end up divorcing? I would have thought that's the time to enjoy life with each other but seems not to be the case.
Feel sorry for a friend of mine, worked his arse of all his working life and treated his wife like royalty, she didn't want to work so he let her do what she liked. Now their kids have grown up she wants a divorce???

Sad reading all this, couples besotted with each other and then many years later such spitefulness.
Genuine question, as a society have we set the expectation of relationships too high?
I do wonder if the Hollywood / music industry portrayal of being forever absolutely smitten with each other and every day being massive excitement and not being able to spend a minute apart etc. etc. has left the general population being unrealistic and hence more disenfranchised?

My wife and I agree on the most imported thing, that we never wanted children. Neither of us like children, have any patience for children or want to waste any of our time bringing up children. This is the glue that's held us together.
Of course, our children aren't too happy about it but we stand firm together.
Two oddballs in a society being the glue that holds you together - makes sense Of course, our children aren't too happy about it but we stand firm together.

For any guys reading this who are thinking of getting married do not think this won't happen to you, do not think your perfect little snow flake is different because she loves you. The reality is once they are bored and fancy getting back on the carousel they will convince themselves it is all your fault and that they deserve to keep everything and make you suffer as much as possible.
Strangely enough I have had a message from my ex wife telling me that her current wallet has proposed and she said yes. He only divorced his wife a year or two ago, personally I think he is nuts but good luck to him, she is totally his problem now he is taking her over 100%!
Second marriages have a 67% chance of failure so once he is paying for two ex wives he is never going to be able to retire while my ex wife gets double bubble!
Remember women don't marry for money they divorce for it.
That is a really sad place to be at - not all men and not all women are the same. However what I will say is that how you get your woman is how you typically lose her.Strangely enough I have had a message from my ex wife telling me that her current wallet has proposed and she said yes.

It's amazing how two people who were so deeply in love with each, can then go to the opposite extreme and do some really horrible things to try to hurt the other person. I can appreciate if a 3rd party is involved and hence there is a sense of betrayal, but outside of that it really baffles me.Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
