    Been married 7 years ... It's been spiraling out of control for a while but the last couple of months have been bad. Last week I found out he has been lying to me about some serious issues. He Walked out on me 2 weeks ago.

    I'm so sorry.
    Regardless of what goes bad in a marriage it is always a terribly painful thing to go through.
    Wishing the best for you. :)

    I'm so sorry. My marriage dissolved a week ago too. It's so difficult but I'll happily trade rants, vents and insults if you need someone to listen!

    I'll go ahead and throw myself into this. I'm really hoping to be able to get divorced soon. After 26 years it's time to call it quits. My kids deserve better.

    As a friend once said, "at least you got your starter marriage out of the way."

    Married my first girlfriend. Found out she started a 4 month affair shortly after we were married. Completely blindsided. That's life, what can you do but pick yourself back up from there.

    Wow that's terrible! I like your positive attitude! I need to find some of that!

    I just went back and read the thread again. Stay strong amcalmond, I'm rooting for ya! Whatever happens, never let someone else let you down. You're in control of your life, that's the only one you have, not anyone else - not even the people closest to you.

    Same goes for all you other survivors that are going through tough times, be strong.

    Yeah there is no giving in this time. Somethings you just can't recover from. This will make me much stronger in the end!

    I'm in. First time I was very young (21) and obviously stupid, married for 2 years to a control freak. Counseling made it clear to cut and run.

    Second was the rebound guy from the first round, married him after a long test drive, should have walked out the door instead of down the aisle because he had substance abuse and honesty issues, so I tell folks I was just stupid that time (since 30 was no longer young)

    Third time I picked wisely, but sadly he turned out to be the stupid one. After a six year roller coaster dating ride, I married him and we were married for 18 years. . . and then he had a mid life crisis affair and left me and his daughter for the girlfriend.

    So I've been happily single for 4 years, and hang out in the Singles Hangout thread.

    To all of you going through this for whatever number of times, hang in there, it does get better with time.

    @Drawoc I'm a firm believer in kids would rather be from a broken home than in one. Finally pulled the trigger on my divorce close to 5 years now. It was hard at first but all 3 of my kids are thriving now. Worth it!

    Definitely, I agree, glad to hear things are going well! :) Sounds like it was a hard choice, but the correct one.

    Congrats on the weight loss as well! Not everyone can do that. That is awesome :smiley:
