Well, I have officially have had the worst day of my life. Today my wife and I decided to call it quits. My body and mind feels like I have been hit by a train. I now know what too many people before me have had to go through. I don't wish this on any married couple. :frowning:
I think we just got married too young and we eventually grew apart. My family problems were part of it. They dragged me down pretty low, and with it went my relaitionship with my wife. She changed and I really didn't and that kind of bummed her out. I did eventually grow up and become more responsible, more confident, and stronger, but I think it was just too late. We tried a bit of counseling but that didn't work. I think it would of worked about 6-10 months ago, but I didn't know we had a problem then and my wife wasn't sure either.
Who knows, maybe some time apart is what we really need. I told her, if she decides she wants to come back, she is welcome too, but once that divorce is final, it will be harder for me to take her back. We also agreed that if we did get back together after we divorced, we would not get remarried. She wants to stay friends but I cannot do that. Just seeing her would be too painful and seeing her with someone else later on down the line would be way to weird for me. I do still have a tiny bit of hope that we may work this out after some time apart.
I know that I will not get married again. Once was enough and the heartache is just too great to ever have to go through again. The problem with this is trying to meet a girl who is OK with this. :frowning:
I am not a very religious person, but for you people who are, I wouldn't mind a prayer being said for us. I actually would appreciate it very much. The Home Theater Forum is a great place to come when you just want to have fun and discuss the hobby we love, but it is also a great place to come when you are dealing with real problems that are not as trivial as OAR and DVD extras, because the people who are here are good people and real people, and they do care.
Thanks for listening.
