After 25 years marriage, and 30 years with my wife ... she tells me she wants a divorce.  I am separated.  I will never get involved with another woman ever...I am staying single.  There are other less painful ways to have a meaningful life.  And for me, that involves not getting involved with a woman...

Would you have preferred to stay married or do you think separating was the right thing to do (even though it was/is painful)?

Sometimes I wish I was still married. Ultimately though, I think we would've spent many more years being unhappy together.

Sorry to hear that Meltdown99.  That’s devastating.  I hope that your heart heals quickly and that you’re not consumed by bitterness.  Sending you virtual hugs.

FWIW, I believe that dankind was being sarcastic.  

dankind is a sarcastic, jaded dude. he doesn’t even vote because he thinks the whole world is against him.

Sad!

Yes. I’m sitting in front of a nice fire with my brilliant, sexy-as-all-get-out wife after a great weekend with my family. The whole world must be against me. 

Dipshit.

Single by choice. Was married for 4 years & common law (though NJ doesn't have that) with a son for 10 miserable years. Love my son. Got to walk down the aisle with my father. But I am incapable of picking a man who is kind, loyal, trustworthy. Been single since my second 'marriage', don't trust my instincts and I won't live like that again. First one was a coward and the second one is an abusive sociopath. I'm better off alone. 

You have us Nancy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
