It's not an easy time. I've been seperated from my wife for 7 months now.
Did the two of you have any childern?

Keep smiling

John.




John, we have 2 kids, both are staying with me, joint custody though.

I have felt separated for over 2 years now, so for me it's not so bad.

Keith, all I can say is that I hope you know the person that you marry, and not one that she portrays to be. I got sucked in with a pretty smile and at the time, a decent person.

Check out her relationship with her parents, as what it turned out in mine, is that she would go running to her father, spoiled child syndrome, if she didn't get her way with me, go cry to her father. Blood is thicker than water, and the stories that were being told to the parents, I can see why any parent would hate me. You can't imagine the stories. I won't go into details.

I did not want our failed marriage to become another statistic, but when one partner doesn't want to make it work, it won't work. Believe me, I tried dozens of times over the years to make amends, to change myself, but she told me so many times, she couldn't forget the past, much of it (the past stories) fabricated, and that she would never let things go. That's the killer of this marriage, not letting go, not coming to comprimises, not speaking to each other about each other.

That's enough preaching for this post. So a shop huh, kid's educations funds first, before any thing like that could become a reality, but hey, it's always a thought to keep in mind.
