Life This sucks at 58 - Page 12

Monk · 04-28-2009, 07:15 PM

I normally don't post on here,but damn I need to vent. I have (had) been married to the same woman for over 35 years. Never a major problem in our relationship. Five weeks ago she informs me she wants a divorce as she has met someone and wants something different in her life.

I worked 25 years for Williams Energy, we put two daughters through college and helped them, as we could, get established in life.

So,today was a meeting between the lawyers and I find out I will have to give her the house (paid for ) a car (new) and 1/2 of my pension,savings, and investments. Now all of that was ours 50/50 any way and she did her part in the marriage. Not only does it hurt like hell but now it looks like at 58 I have to start all over again.

Sorry for spelling or grammer but right now I don't care my heart is broken and soon to be homeless (STARTING OVER AT 58 )

have you introduced the ex wife and her new boyfriend to the Springfield Pervert?

It would be a high priority of mine if I was in your shoes.

Ideally every generation would be a little more self assured than the previous one, but I think your numbers are about 10 years off.

It's not that 45-55 year olds don't care about things, it's just that they don't care about your things. They're established in life and probably have bigger priorities than the petty issues of stroking a male ego. 20 year olds are dreamers, but by the time you get to 30 you figure out you have to get it your damn self.

Maybe your dating attempts shouldn't be so pathetic?

well vengence could be yours says King Chief fan. All you have to do is contest and draw the thing out. You have nothing to lose going that direction. When it has gone long enough, she caves and you don't have to give up that much. If she wants out, she will get out with less. Stick to your guns man.

**BigRedChief** · 04-29-2009, 06:46 AM

So she fools around on you and she gets all that? How does that work?

**Iowanian** · 04-29-2009, 06:48 AM

So Monk....Did you see him this morning?

More likely I should hold off until I deal with the healing I need to deal with and not fall into the same pattern again.

Buy a motorcycle. Problems solved.

Look on the bright side. My dad put in 40 years on the railroad, was 18 months from retirement, and died last year at 58.

Make the best of it, and live every day like it's your last. Things could be worse.

Divorce is about 10000x harder when kids are involved.

Theres only one thing left to do, scalp her and get your shit back.
