My wife left me a few months due to a misaligned marriage after 10 years of being together. Instead of trying to work on things, she just left. I made a ton of changes to try and get her to stay.

We have no kids, but we share a dog. I decided that sharing the dog won’t work (for many obvious reasons) and I’m letting her keep the dog. I’m shattered. She left me but she would never leave the dog, so I had no choice. I love my dog. My friends and family love him too. Hers couldn’t really care less. So it feels very unfair. Unless there’s any sign of her wanting to reconcile, I want nothing to do with her.

Next week is my last week with him. I’ll be hopefully in a new house next month, and dating some new women. Just felt like writing this out here to get out my feelings.
