I just want to say that I admire each and every one of you for standing up and fighting for your marriages. The seniors and others who actually saved their marriages are like super heroes to me.

With that said, I just can't take it any more. The lies, the disrespect, the bizarre behavior, her neglecting the kids, me being blamed for everything. And now, being accused of everything (even attempted murder). Her behavior has gotten MUCH worse.

I'm done.

It got to the point about a week ago that I was wanting to move out ASAP.

For months I've been afraid. Afraid of being single. Afraid I'd be one of those guys that troll night clubs with the hope that some female, *any* female would give him any attention. You know what? I'm not afraid anymore. I would rather be one of those guys than to have to put up with this. No one, I repeat NO ONE, deserves to be treated like this.

I'm young (40 is considered still young, right?). I'm in decent shape. I'm educated. I'll find someone. Besides, I have my boys to focus on now anyway. Dating? As Sweet Brown would say: "Ain't nobody got time for that!"

I've hired an attorney and filed for divorce today. I am going to sue for sole custody of our kids. I've filled out the forms for the bank for a short sale on the house, she says she won't sign them. But I think a judge will force her to.

I'll remain active on this site. Maybe I'll be an example of what NOT to do when your SO drops the bomb.

And thanks to the admin for removing the post about the "incident". The trial is coming up soon and I'll post more about that when it is done.


life is too short....
