From a thread at Divorce_men. How many of these stories have you heard?
Hey guys. Literally just found this sub like 5 minutes ago since my mind is going crazy. Been married to my ex wife for two years now, together entirely for 9. Just recently finished pushing her through nursing school, rooted for her and supported her to pass the NCLEX, then encouraged her to finally land a job as an LVN she has been wanting. As SOON as she got the job, she asked for a divorce.
There was some build up to this but nothing that hinted at something as extreme as a straight up divorce. After passing nursing school it seemed like something changed in her as she became slightly more distant over time. She was always on her phone, didn't want me around as often. I should of called out the red flags as they appeared and thinking back on it I'm stupid as hell for not doing so.
I've busted my ass for a year and a half working two, sometimes three jobs just to pay the bills and to get her through her nursing school. I've sold A LOT of my personal hobby stuff (I game, sold most of my stuff) certain months just to ensure we don't fall behind. Then once the finish line is in sight, I'm dropped like a goddamn rock.
Honestly don't know where to go from here. I'm still young (26 is young right) no kids, just feel like I wasted most of my life and unsure what to do with myself right now. Just a combination of sad, upset, angry, and alone.
