Thank you again for this thread...
I had my "Come to Jesus" moment this morning in the car when I got to the parking lot at work.
I'm just going to put this out there....it doesn't matter anymore.
All this past month we've been on the edge of divorce because of various things.
- Me hiking with my coworkers (male and female)
- Me talking to females at church (Nothing flirty, just simple conversation)
- Me wanting to go back to school
- Me wanting to get into more outdoor activities with my survival group (since she won't do anything I like with me)
- Me wanting more from life than just being a "family man"
Everything that she has a problem with involves me doing something more with my life besides "Go to work, come home, eat, sleep, rinse & repeat".
I can't live like that. I just can't.
I have been here before with an ex, another sista that wanted me to be a robot and I can't live like that. I thought that because my wife was a church girl she'd be better than any run of the mill female...nope.
She's just as frickin crazy as any other and I wasted 10 damn years with this bullshyt thinking she would get better one day and all of a sudden life would be great. I've lost my friends, gave up my motorcycle, gave up seeing my family gave up personal growth and only added complication to my life....for what!?!?!
All because I wanted to do things right?
Hell, I don't ever have sex anymore hardly. Gave that up for this woman too. I wasn't rolling in the sheets before her, but at least I was getting it when I needed it.
I've weighed the balance, I don't need companionship that badly if it means I lose everything else that makes life meaningful and fun.
I've considered suicide more in these past 10 years than I have my entire life before her.
That ain't good.
That ain't good at all.
The only choice is to leave her.
