I was coming out of the Army, deciding what I wanted to do. Decided I wanted to go back to work for Best Buy. She looked me right in my face and said "So your going to be 35 years old making $12.50:stopitslime:".

That was literally the moment where I completely and utterly fell out of love with her. NO woman in the history of my existence has ever been allowed to disrespect me, my work ethic, nor my decision making to such a disgusting level. Especially a woman whose hand I took in marriage...

So I did exactly what I had to do. Started back at the bottom part time and worked myself back to Manager in 5 months. Three promotions, three pay raises (plus bonuses). And after that time period I didn't feel as if she deserved to be a part of my success as she wasn't supportive during my hustle and struggle. Once I made manager she wanted to talk about how proud of me she was and all that shyt but I told her straight up I didn't make it because of her. I made it DESPITE of her and I didn't want her nor the marriage any longer. I actually told her all of this two months ago but she begged and pleaded for another chance talking about how sorry she was and she always believed in me and she was just frustrated during that time period. She wanted to go to counseling and I tried it but nah....the damage had been done. Once you disrespect a man.... TRULY disrespect him, he will never forgive you
So you fell out of love with your wife and you're divorcing her because she hurt your feelings? Is that what I'm reading? nikka you were just looking for a way out of the marriage. Keep it real.

The fact of the matter is that I spent two years supporting her while she decided if she wanted to go to Law School, be a paralegal, work at Nordstroms, work at Verizon, or whatever else. I supported her. Even when I was making the majority of the income and she was studying for the LSAT. I never questioned her. Came back from Afghanistan with almost 8K in savings (of which she contributed not ONE penny) and having decided to leave the Army now was my time to decide how I was going to transition back into civilian life.

The truth is I worked for Best Buy before, loved it. I love retail, I love helping customers, I love technology. All of those romantic gifts and surprises and trips she loved so much years beforehand. Best buy checks paid for that. I was making more than $12.50 before all of this, supporting myself, paying all of my bills, etc. BEFOREHAND as an unmarried man. She knew all of this. So for her to at ANY point question my commitment to being successful in wanting to return as a grown ass MARRIED man was the absolute pinnacle of disrespect. I don't give a fukk what your misgivings are, you do not look your husband, the husband who has supported you emotionally and financially since even before we were married, in eye and suggest sarcastically that he will enter middle age as a failure.


It will not be tolerated.


Call me whatever you like Brehs or think what you are entitled to think. But my personal code of living is that to be married to somebody who has that little faith in you after your entire life has been spent proving to the contrary is simply unacceptable.
Lol...so she's an up and coming junior lawyer...op, think , once she starts getting paid as a senior lawyer, you could be living comfortably. And the divorce laws will suit you as you'll be making less than her. Sounds like you have a fragile ego and you were really intimidated by her potential to make the big bucks but you just used her remarks as cop out. Op is intimidated by his overachieving wife.

Best Buy has not closed ANY stores whatsoever. All of you throwing shade at the job itself could at the very LEAST quote something accurate:snoop:

And scared of her earning potential? That's almost comical...mom the one who supported her efforts to go to law school. Paid for her LSAT classes and books, the thought of her earning potential never crosse my mind as a negative....


And some of you are completely failing to see the deeper point. Divorcing her because she hurt my feelings? Absolutely not. Divorcing her because she proved with ONE comment that after almost ten years of knowing me, my personality, my drive, ambition, and commitment to success that she was ready to shyt on my goals and aspirations? In a fukking heartbeat.

The people closest to you should NEVER doubt certain things about you. Internet posters making jokes on a forum is one thing. We all crack on each other, troll each other, and such every day. We will never meet nor interact outside of this virtual canvas. However the actual PEOPLE in my life know how hard I work and how much I am willing to sacrifice for a goal. She witnessed it first hand for years before we were married. My entire adult life from the age of 19 until today has been dedicated to forging a future that I could look back and be proud of. I am PROUD of the work I put into Best Buy. That might mean little to all of you from the outside in, but it had better DAMN sure mean something to her, the woman I married, the woman supposedly CLOSEST to me.

I absolutely REFUSE to allow an individual to doubt me in such a disrespectful manner as to suggest I'll be 35 years old making 12.50. It is the equivalent of telling me that I haven't proved nor stood for a goddamn thing in the all the years you've known me.

:ohhh:now that you mention it, she could have been somewhat elitist about his decision....

I'm going to be a lawyer with a husband who works retail.... She wanted him to get on her level
He a) was afraid that he couldn't get on her level
b) knew for a fact he couldn't get on her level
Or c) was jealous/angry that she was in that level before him....

It's deeper than "I'm a man of my principle"

You're turning this into a chicken and egg thing. You can have all the perks of a marriage without actually getting married. That way, you avoid divorce.

Explain to me how something that's not alive can die.
Lol would you want all the "perks" of being a manager but not get a managers salary?

Your the defintion of bytch made. Your parents raised a lil ass bytch who will pass off his bytch made traits unfortunately to the next generation.

OP you have absolutely 0 reason to explain yourself to lames such as this bytch, you made the right move. She disrespected you and did not support you but want to enjoy the spoil of the riches once you made it, fukk her. The coli is the worse place to post real shyt, all these lames such as lavish post on her for the E-High fives since they have nothing going on in their lives.
The only person that's bytch made is the OP and possibly you.

Bingo...I'm guessing op felt emasculated and insecure for quite a while for the fact that he knew eventually his wife will be out earning him significantly and I'm guessing he began to feel threatened, his wife's e remarks is probably the straw that broke the camels back.

anyways, get married to a man that will fall out of love with you because of a comment, brehettes.

if you think about it, he knew her for over 10 years, he was always able to take care of himself and her no matter what , 1 disrespectful comment is all it takes for some men, maybe that was the trigger that made him realised he wasn't in love with her should he stay married too someone he is not in love with :ld:

i really dont mean to say this in a disrespectful way, but u sound like an idiot. what kind of a woman doesn't want the best for her man? the way she responded may have needed a lil trimming, but she has a point.

and yes, you made manager in a matter of 5 months, but the question is, how much more than 12.50 are you making?

and when you speak of this success, i mean, what???

first of all,u shouldn't have gotten married that young but thats neither here nor there. smarten up man.

Some guys make less than that are married, what should a married man man? Not everyone is gonna be a baller, so some dudes shouldn't get married if their money ain't right?
