Was I wrong to take off my wedding ring?

any updates???

I'm back for all you haters. Now that I'm over my mini-crush on Neliah, I can contribute in a meaningful fashion.

Even my ex-wife, who just decided one day that our marriage wasn't worth keeping and subsequently requested a divorce, was never crazy enough to make a big deal about the ring. On the other hand, maybe if she had, it would have been a demonstration of a bit more dedication to the relationship and family structure (2 toddler boys) she so casually tossed in the toilet.

So the broad in question here, is either...

- extremely possessive, which would have been noticeable in the engagement process.

- cheating, or has cheated, and is looking to place the blame of the marriage failure on the dude.

- completely losing her mind, which given that she is a woman, is possible, if not likely.

If marriage were perfect, there would be no reason to divorce....

Obviously not all marriages are perfect...and the institution itself is far from perfect.

All of this could have been solved with a PRENUP.

C'mon man, keep going!

How old is the OP and his useless wife?

This would help us understand the context.

I suspect the OP is not a troll.

The scenario he painted is not bizarre. It is typical femme behaviour. God help us all.

Note that i said "typical". Not all women are like this.

But certainly most are.

Our job, as men, in life is to find and hook up with normal women.

Of course, us guys are morons and do not know this when we are young. So we end marrying hot, but useless and psychotic, women.

DUDES: LEARN FROM EXPERIENCED MEN WHO MARRY GOOD-LOOKING PSYCHOS WHEN WE ARE YOUNG AND HORNY - DO NOT GET MARRIED BEFORE YOU ARE 30. I repeat: do not get married before 30.

I repeat again because i know you will not listen to my advice anway: do not get married before 30.

Updates?

Wow, first this poor sucker's wife ditches him and now Neliah stands me up. Ain't that a be-otch! I still did my tempo run without ya Neliah. Don't ask for another try.

bump...i have to hear the conclusion!

dear god, if this is real, I hope your wife finds this thread.

Hi all. It has been a nightmarish few weeks. I appreciate all of your support and concern regarding my situation. My wife want a divorce, plain and simple. In some ways I feel relieved, but of course I am heartbroken over this. My lawyer ( he is the best ) said when this is all said and done, you will be the one with the house. My in-laws and parents are just torn up by this. I am doing ok, running is very theraputic. I guess some things in life can't be explained. It is best to just move on and learn from them. My thanks to all of you.

Glad you're back and okay. Did you learn any more details, or is she just suffering from general regret?

For what its worth, my sister-in-law flipped out a few months back and told my brother she was moving out. I've got to imagine they had communication problems as well as other long lingering problems, but she basically made the decision that she was unhappy and wanted to move out. She would not agree to counseling, will not see a doctor, does not respond to emails, etc. She called his boss to talk about what she thought were his character flaws.

What makes it seem more irrational is that she has no job, they live in a foreign country, and she has no plans to move home. She calls mutual friends to see if they want to go out for drinks, as though their marriage is sound, and is apparently couch-surfing with confused friends. This is a woman with a supporting family and degrees from two top-tier schools. I'd be surprised if there wasn't another man/men involved but it doesn't make the situation any less understandable. Friends and family are just stunned, not to mention my brother. The guy was in straight denial for about three months. Divorce happens and relationships break-down all the time, but sometimes people's behavior can just be unexplainable.

I suspect this may not be a registered name

No. Leave her immediately. She does not deserve you.

Yup. She was cheating on you or wanted to try and develop something with someone else and was just looking for anything to get out. This once happened to me. I said something and the girl just ran with it, blew it out of proportion, dumped me and started ignoring me. They do this because they don't want to take any responsibility for their ways. It turns out in my particular situation the girl I was dating started hanging out with this guy, felt some type of connection and thus decided to end it with myself. One week later she was pregnant while still trying to claim that nothing was going on between them, haha. You can't blame the woman for their actions, like they say, the heart wants what it wants , but you can blame them for their deceitful and dishonest ways.

Your ex-boyfriend sounds like a pansy. You sound like a keeper.

I agree. If Neliah is having a hard time holding onto a guy, that's just depressing. I'd have to say that a good majority of the population feels the way she does. Or at least the letsrun population.

Bump, any updates???
