I support him get out.




I swear nikkas on the Coli only post for daps. :mjlol: How many threads or thread derailments have happened because brehs shyt on marriage? Then when a dude is like fukk it, this ain't for me you want to shyt on him for it? Sometimes I just don't understand you all. I know for a fact the women on here would be "Go girl!" if a woman decided to leave her man for not supporting a career decision. "Girl, he don't need you if he can't respect your hustle." :comeon:

Thats my opinion..

And that's not superficial like telling me all my choices are golden.. But allowing me to make them and fail, and you not bail out on me on some "See n1gga I TOLD you!!" steez..

Since he succeeded he'll never know if she would have parachuted out of a burning plane. My point is if you're unhappy in a marriage and you've actually tried to make it work (you all ignored that part) then you have every right to leave for the betterment of both parties. A loveless marriage is a tragedy waiting to happen.

I respect the entire premise, the career choice aside. However, people hang on to relationships FAR too long, it's better to cut the ties and KIM, it's the best thing for both parties in the long run. And with marriage, you wait, assets build, one possibly sneaks by the goalie and you've got a kid, and you're still unhappy? Good luck w/ a divorce under those circumstances.

fukking right. nikka decides to listen to the Coli brehs and stay in the marriage, a kid pops out, Amazon buys Best Buy :mjcry: and the wife decides to leave ten years later dude is gonna lose half. Not to mention the time lost.

I've consistently said if he doesn't love her he should leave..No need to explain any other specifics on how and why.. Just leave.. Nobody should be forced to live with someone they don't have feelings for...But he treated the Best Buy scenario as such a major event that couldn't be overcome that that's the point I was addressing..

And he said they've only been together for 2 years..It seems like an awful lot going on in a 24 month period..

Getting married
Getting deployed overseas
Quitting the military
Going through extensive marriage counseling
Moving up the corporate ladder at Best Buy
Winning The Coli "Poster of the Year" in The Booth

:mjlol:


It seems like homey is moving through life at a break neck speed....I'm just saying IF there is any love there perhaps maybe he should weather the storm...If not...Then why rationalize it around her disrespect of his retail career?Just move one...

not gonna read all 18+ pages, i gave op his props. hope he stays strong in his decision and convictions and keeps it civil and cordial with his wife.

all y'all taking the wife's side should remember this important marriage vows ... for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health ..... a colleague told me she'd live under a freeway underpass in a cardboard box with her husband and still love him and every minute of it!

@Ziggly

I haven't gotten through the whole thread yet (page 13), but I'll offer my opinion from what I've gathered so far. I say all this being a type A, sensitive, hard-working, underdog, prove-the-world-wrong personality like yourself.

I don't think you've fallen out of love with her. I think that right now you are very angry and resentful and I don't think you've effectively communicated with her about your feelings. This is not something you divorce your wife and friend of 12 years over. The ether will burn harshly when you walk away and realize you walked away from the most loyal friend in your life. She may not always agree with your decisions but damn, the woman was still there. So while you may feel angry that she didn't respond to your dreams and passions in a way that you would like, she has the right to her opinion just as you have the right to yours. She may have questioned your decision, and done it in a way that wasn't exactly smooth, but in the end she stayed by your side. And she said she was proud, which you can look at as her maybe finally realizing the kind of amazingly hard worker you are. Maybe she wasn't all in with you at first, but she is now--you gotta appreciate that. What you did in six months is RARE, so you can't fault her for not believing that you fit into the 1% that can actually achieve on that level. The world has taught her differently and that is the lens she is operating through--she is actually being realistic. Yeah, you're different, but sometimes you gotta show people that first before they believe it. Can't hate them for that.

And I can understand why you may feel resentful that she didn't notice your drive before, but she does now. Don't hold that against her. You two need to communicate and you have to be real with each other. It's okay to have your feelings hurt man and to be a sensitive person, but you gotta be able to communicate with your wife how you feel when she upsets you and also be able to step back and see that she didn't intend to make you feel that way, she just doesn't know how to relate her concerns over your career decisions in a smoother way.

This marriage isn't over. You're not out of love with her. You're angry, which is blunting the real feelings that are still there, that you still have for her. You may be angry and resentful, but you still love her breh--just you being hurt and angry doesn't allow yourself to feel the tingles right now, the oxytocin.

Real love doesn't die that fast. Talk to her calmly about how what she said made you feel, and work it out.

That's your friend of TWELVE YEARS who has seen you go through ups and downs and stayed with you no matter what. That's REAL support, no matter how you wanna slice it. You won't find many people like that in your life. Please take this advice from a breh who left a terrific woman because I wasn't able to understand my feelings and communicate them. I've regretted that decision for over three years and think about it literally everyday.

Don't leave her, work it out.

Wow, this actually is legit good advice. Am I on the right site? :dcwtf:
