Litmus test/Phil Collins

Although that song was released in 1984, he started writing 5 years before when his divorce was just beginning. If you want to hear what you need to hear now go pick up “Hello I must be going” which he wrote once the anger set in. And do yourself a favor and watch the live version of “I don’t care anymore” from 1982 where he is screaming the lyrics.

If it's Phil Collins you're listening to, may I suggest 'I Don't Care Anymore'.

Unfortunately, I believe he has a significant simping problem, remarrying an ex-wife who cleaned him out once before. Too bad he didn't opt to live by the words he once wrote.

I've thought of that song 2 mos ago when she left me. But I'm starting to live my own life without her and another great Phil Collins song (We Said Hello Goodbye) is what I heard one day when I started doing my own things. https://youtube.com/watch?v=RHRJ5dGYynk

Against all odds been breaking me down since high school

But I’ve been dumped a lot more than I’ve done the dumping

"I guess I’m still kind of stuck in a place just not understanding why".

Same. I didn't even have a good marriage. Like, a lot of people talk about "the good times". Sure, we had some, but they were so few that I can hardly remember them. She was practically impossible to get along with, no matter how hard I tried. I loved her though. I did my absolute best. At the end of the day, that just wasn't good enough for her and after 20 years she filed for a divorce. She can't even really give me a solid reason as to why. She claims to be a Christian. She goes to church every week. Prays and reads the Bible on a regular basis. Somehow she has justified this divorce to herself and I have no idea how that is possible.

That's the hard part for me. How did we end up like this? I did everything a "good husband" is suppose to do.

If you’re listening to Phil Collins, try “Do you Remember” - this one spoke to me once I’d mentally and emotionally moved on

Can’t say that I’ve struggled with that as much because the last 6 months of our relationship was pretty hellish. That being said, the only way to fix that is to look out your windshield instead of the rear view mirror(thanks Jelly Roll), or to the seat where your wife was.

Never forget the power you have inside of you, to create a better future and to be an amazing dad regardless of the situation. Your children will always remember who you are and what you did for them, they won’t focus on imperfection and circumstances as much if you won’t.

I’m not sure of your upbringing, but mine was super conservative Christian, and the thing I saw constantly was men who “prayed about it” but didn’t do anything to create a better environment.

I'm sorry to hear that... I am probably facing a divorce soon with little children and I think I understand your feelings... What happened?

I got one of those songs too. I fall to pieces every time it comes on.

Less Than Jake: The Rest Of My Life

This is my all time low

Somehow it feels so familiar

Somehow it seems so familiar

I feel like letting go

And every second that goes by

I'm screaming out for a second try

Said goodbye, to my best friend

Sometimes there's no one left to tell me the truth
