No wife happy life

Certain-Line-6351 · 2023-07-31T07:41:05+00:00

15 mins with my Ex is about all I can handle.

An my interactions consist of.

“Cool” “That’s cool” “Ok” “Whatever” “That’s fine” “No”

An that’s about all she gets out of me these days.

I don’t engage in conversations. I don’t look directly at her.

I give my daughter all the attention when the ex is around and get us out of there as fast as possible.

I know the feeling exactly. It really hit me one day at our child's soccer game. She snapped at me over something minor, and I just stood up and walked away. I felt so good knowing I didn't have to go home with that.

I'm broke as fuck and things are hard and very stressful for me right now, but I will happily eat ramen every day rather than live with and in such misery.

Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)

It's amazing what the knowledge that it's temporary does for my patience. Rather than having to think, "well here's another week or so of drama and eggshell walking." vs. "damn, she lasted 15 minutes - you go girl!"

I haven't spent 5mins with mine since she moved out. I always feel really uncomfortable around her now.

Change the locks or move. No contact is a wonderful thing

I stopped conversing in texts after 2 years of hell. Email occasionally or phone conversations, best decision I ever made.

After 40 years of experience with woman I can assure you of one thing. Do not live with them under any circumstances,

MadDogMD80 · 2023-07-31T16:38:04+00:00

Sounds exactly like my ex. I can't even talk via text let alone be around her - she is always going off about something or making snarky comments.

Basic_Advance7627 · 2023-07-31T21:10:41+00:00

I have had absolutely zero communication with my cheating ex for months. 2 kids are adults and the youngest is 16 so I don’t need to talk to her at all. Plus, I loathe her.

SecretDoctor8121 · 2023-07-31T17:53:20+00:00

Thats why im saying stay single.. much happier life.

Illustrious_Cut_1839 · 2023-07-31T20:28:36+00:00

I was married 29 years. The last 15 were horrible. Needed to be in the house with my kids. Being 2-years out of the divorce, I feel great. I agree will all the other posters about being single and happy. My only act of revenge is to be leading a happy and fulfilling life.

If only men would stop thinking with their dicks and stop putting rings on hoes. I love men, but sometimes we’re retarded.

oneknocka · 2023-07-31T21:28:34+00:00

My ex and i had a normal convo at an event for the kids. It felt good. Month later shes trying to push buttons over child support (I pay what I’m obligated to and it is significant).

Not only did it not phase me, it made me have concern over her mental health. I asked if she was ok. She didnt really respond but the convo died then and there.

It feels sooooo good when you stop letting the power over your emotions. Thats a lot of power to give someone.

I’m broke and I’m alone alot but damn does my peace feel good!

Amen my brother❤️‍🩹

Objective_Problem_90 · 2023-07-31T22:38:18+00:00

2 yrs after the divorce and we still cannot be cordial in the same space together for even 5-10 minutes. Even just picking up my son she still finds things to bitch about. Although I still have to deal with that, at least it's no longer a daily thing.

Obvious_Technology49 · 2023-08-01T01:04:45+00:00

Sometimes it’s peaceful without anyone at all.

dadplup · 2023-08-01T01:17:33+00:00

I have spoken to my ex twice since split up in 11/21 till 06/23 , and both were horrible too ask she did was yell both times I told her to stop by she didn't so I yelled back, I hope that those are the last two times we have contact, I doubt it but I can always hope

Heading her voice tbh puts me on edge, I feel a void in the pit on my stomach, and I shake uncontrollably, makes me want to get back on antidepressants

When the divorce was finalized, and i found myself walking out of the courthouse it was like a weight had been taken off my back and although I'm not where I want to be, I'm in a better place since it ended

Congrats on extracting the parasite from under your mud flaps. Once you pull them out, toss away, you begin to feel better.

boltmaker12 · 2023-08-04T18:43:45+00:00

In my 6 years of being divorced, my ex was in my apartment 1 time within the first month of separation. She acted like she owned the place and had an attitude. I drew the boundary right there and have never allowed her back since.
