This just reminds me of those situations where a woman will hold down a nikka in jail but get mad at a nikka working his way up. A nearly $10 wage increase and employee status change is nothing to sneeze at. Add in overtime and bonuses and he's doing pretty good for himself off of less than a year of grinding. I definitely can see where he's coming from. If your woman doesn't believe in you that can definitely fukk up your mind. :wow:

Tdot.. till the death of me
What's so good about it is that it's what I want to do. I can't explain to you how much I enjoy the business it would be the equivalent of whatever you have a passion about and are exceptionally good at. I enjoy the work, I enjoy technology, I enjoy helping customers. Assistant Store managers start at about 60K and Geberal managers can get upwards of 102K.

I'm a Geek Squad Manager. Which is actually hourly. It's the only hourly manager position within the store. I make $20.17 Hourly not including overtime and monthly bonuses (those bonuses :banderas:)

So I went from $11.40 in December. Worked my ass off to two promotions and the third promotion was to Manager. I did that in 6 months AFTER the company with through a restructure (which took away positions)

I couldn't really relate to you how much work I put into it. How I worked open-close every single day for a three week stretch, legs so tired they felt like I was walking on Jello. How I got up at 5am every day to take the marta and be on time and let her take the car. I couldn't really relate that level of commitment and grind to you because in your ignorant mind this is a position that equates to McDonald's. You could never understand nor walk in my shoes....



But SHE knew. Because she saw me do it all before. Before we were married and I Was doing the exact same thing to be successful. She witnessed it first hand. She KNEW here was no way in HELL I'd ever allow myself to be "35 and making 12.50". Because no matter WHAT I do or where I start, I will ALWAYS end up successful.

She spit in my face when she made that comment. She took everything she'd ever seen me work myself to the BONE for and shyt on it. That it is NOT the woman that deserves my last name nor my forever. That is a woman who deserves exactly what she got.


The Bushes:camby:

Breh, I was making more then 60k at 22. in a fied unrelated to what I went to school for...so I know the grind. but excuse me for not knowing the salary for every single profession :beli: and excuse me for asking you to explain it to me.

your real sensitive. A breh, or even your wife cant ask you a question without you getting heated. I had to ask you to explain it to me twice before you explained it to me.

Another thing is she probably didn't support him during the execution of his plan. It's one thing to be skeptical at the roll out, but when you're actually executing and grinding and putting your all into something and having your woman go :usure: that will definitely breed resentment. Now that he's where he wants to be and where the wife feels he should be she wants to be supportive. It's too late at that point. No one wants to share their spoils with the same person who said you weren't going to get any in the first place.

On one hand I can't fukk with walking away from your vows that way, that's your word....

On the other I respect OP for standing by his principles. :salute: Honestly I imagine your wife is someone who's supposed to be on your corner no matter what cause yall are a team/family. For someone that close to you to shyt on your ambition/hustle like that....gut wrenching. To go into your grind feeling like your own wife is part of the opps of you vs the world :dwillhuh:


It's a typical woman ass comment but idk sometimes a chick says some bird shyt that may just be the straw that breaks the camel's back. makes you rethink her position. Not just a "is she a good wife" type consideration but a "is this the type of person I want on my team going forward" one. I wouldn't wanna live with a energy vampire

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
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
damn bro.. I fukked wit Best Buy for a minute.. literally the top salesman in the store the whole time I was there from beginning to end...got all kinda awards n shyt.. I honestly didn't really feel appreciated like that to be real wit u... muhfukkas was getting jealous n shyt cause of the attention I was getting and I felt it was wack cause the shyt aint even commissions based...and I always looked out for my coworkers when they needed help that's the crazy part about it..Im glad u worked ya way up bro.. :salute:by the way fam.. Im not one to get in anyone's business but if I may offer my observation.. I don't think u was truly in love with her or wanted to be married from jump street..I feel what u sayin bout disrespect...but I honestly don't feel what she said warranted a divorce.. but it is what it is..do whatever makes u happy fam..

No shade breh, but $12.50 an hour? :why:

I kind of have to side with her. if I was your homie, id probably tell you the same thing.

congrats on being manager, but please enlighten us on whats so great about being manager at best buy? I mean it kind of has that "Im manager at mcdonalds" type of vibe to it...like what you making? $17/hr? c'mon man. it sounds like you overreacted. It not like she left you when she found out where you wanted to work. she just asked you a question and you ready to throw her in the bushes

I could understand if you wanted to be a musician, or an athelete, or anything profession that you had dreams of being and she shytted on you...

but I refuse to believe you had dreams of becoming manager at best buy :stopitslime:

Maybe you just need to give us more details of this situation, because from what you posted, you sound irrational.

your happiness is definately more important, but I'm just lost at how something like that could make you unhappy.
son a manager at Best Buy makes bread....real talk..

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.

Sad to hear your marriage ending to be honest. At the end of the day you married her because at one point she made you feel like the man. I can understand how her not giving you the same feeling will make you turn around and give her the cold shoulder of eternity.

I gotta admit though Zigg, you're fukking coooooooold breh. Like seriously.

:manny: wish you well for the future though

:rudy: The coli is the mecca of the hard on hoes movement. If i wanted high fives id be one of the nikkas in here telling him to get a divorce.

Im just not a sensitive ass nikka who cant take criticism though, so if that makes me a bytch then im a bytch. But this bytch was making real money at 21 and i dont want for shyt at this stage in my life. I never brag or speak about my accomplishments on here ever, but if you want me to go there we can go there.

I think you're doing the right thing and best of luck to you.

Both you and she dodged a bullet.

No woman wants to be married to a 35 year old man who CHOOSES to work at Best Buy. And no Best Buy associate want to be married to a wife that doesn't respect him.

As someone who has been married for 20 years, I will say this. I actually think you two need to go to some counseling, what she said was disrespectful and I understand you take a lot of pride in what you do at Best Buy and that you have accomplished quite a bit in a short time. But this not something worth getting divorced over. I have dozens of heated and at times very nasty arguments with my wife and she says some crazy shyt and so do I at times but we work through it and come to a resolution. I feel like there are so many divorces happening because people have unrealistic expectations from your partner. Just because she questioned you decision to work at Best Buy doesn't necessarily mean she didn't support you, it maybe because she felt you were selling yourself short, and didn't want you to go back down that path. To be fair to her, she stuck with you this entire time. It's one thing if she's looking for an out but for you to leave over something this gives me the sense that you are not really built for marriage (at this stage in your life).
