thanx for prying... I'm in a fucked up situation, trying to make the most of it, and handle it the best I can considering.

My wife & are are going to get a divorce, but we're still living in the same house together waiting for it to sell. Neither one of us can afford to move out, pay our share of the bills & motgage on this house + rent another place to live; hence, we're still under the same roof, in different rooms. We don't hate each other (far from it) but realise, we don't belong together. She's seing someone else, I'm not, which makes it strange for me (and her actually), and it can be uncomfortable, and confussing. I'm not the type of person who seeks revenge (at least not for someone I care about) so I just handle the situation as best as I can; sometimes, it gets depressing, and sometimes I try to joke about it and make light of a very heavy and emotional time that we're going thru, just to deal with it from a different view.

I still care for her and hope she get's everything out of life that she wants. I don't see things the way she does however, and it's time to move on and start anew.

Hopefully our house will soon SOON, so we can both move into the new homes we are having built... I can't wait for that. My new house will be decorated with all the cool framed music prints and posters that have been hidden in the closets for the last 11 years (I knew I kept them for somethng). Until I find the right person to share my life with (again) I will be living in my own Rock n Roll museum. I'll of course share pictures when I get the new house set up, which won't be till the end of the year when it's completed.

sorry ya asked, Luna?
thanks for letting me share

Yes! Nah, I'm kidding. You seem to be handling the uncomfortable situation well enough...I, however, would probably want to be smashing the other person's face in the pavement. To be in the same house, oh man schroeder, that's tough. Having a new house built? That's something to look forward to and the Rock 'n' Roll Museum. I agree, saving flyers and posters is always a good thing to have to look back on and say, hmm, I had me some fun back in the day. Now, about that serious collection of music of yours...when do we get to visit that Wall of Sound Museum?

--------------------

--------------------

All my friends will be be welcome to the new house and that of course would include most of the gents, and ladies of the fine upstanding forum .

I'm giving my wife all the beautiful fine art renasance, Raphelite, Michael Parkes items that I have framed for our homes over the years, so now I'm trying to figure out how I'll be painting and decorating my house to go along with all the Rock Art I have. I still want to place to be classy and inviting, nothing dark, depressing, or morbid... (don't want to scare any new ladies that might be invited over ). I'll probably do a lot of the same things to my new home that I've done to this. Hardwood laminant flooring, ceramic tile floors, venetian plaster walls, yadda yadda yadda... but I've got to do something totally different that will make me feel like there's something fresh, and doesn't remind me of this place (even though what we have done with this house is incredible).

Anyway, just thinking out loud.

This is WAY cheaper than seeing a shrink!!!

--------------------

i just thought id say that i went through the exact same thing last year. my wife and i decided to get a divorce, yet there was no where else for her to go, so i let her stay in the same house as me. it was 2 months of pure hell. we werent on very good terms throughout the whole thing and she had a boyfriend (she eventually married him this year), sounds like you have a more amicable divorce happening.

i would say the things that helped me through were lots of good friends, both online and off.... plus lots of alcohol, haha.

and exercise til i thought i was going to die. it really works wonders.

i have had an awesome girlfriend for the last 6 months now. without a doubt the girl of my dreams. so you never know what good things can come out of a fucked up situation.

good luck to you~

--------------------

Glad you have a new love... that's something special, and something I will hopefully have again... before I die!!!

--------------------

GROUP HUG!!!

mmmmmmmmmmm

Anyway, best wishes and luck to you schroeder and anyone going thru a hard time. There's always sun after the rain, or whatever.

Yes, just keep being true to yourself and someone will eventually see it in you.

I'll agree with the exercise crap...it really does help in times of stress. Then after a hard workout, have a cold one! Just don't get totally f-ed up all the time, then we'd be worried.

Uh oh, watch out kids. The Cthon-g and 'Ol Mezcalero will be partying this weekend. Getting a divorce has to be a huge bummer. I think I'll go look for
Sound of the Beast after work to help make me forget the likelihood of marriage, which will eventually lead to a divorce and much sadness...

--------------------

A divorce can be a good solution for some couples, there doesn't have to be any bitter feelings or fightings over "belongings" and money. It is possible to be friends and see to what's best for the kids, ask eachother about things that concern the children you have together.

I think I was lucky to have a not so sad divorce. Sounds a bit crazy but my youngest said to me that it's better we stay apart, because now we're friends and we don't argue. Sometimes kids seems to know things better that adults! (At least when it comes to a "freak" like me...)

--------------------

Here in Sweden we don't have to put the "married" tag on a partnership, so two people can be life partners without ever getting married. Sad or not; separation and divorce is the same thing.

Kinky one night stands, hehe, I might just try that as my "new" lifestyle! (just kiddin')

Life goes on

--------------------

To get married or to be lifepartners is up to the couple who wants to share their lives with eachother, what matters is their feelings. I think....

I don't think I'll meet anyone who wants to share my life with me, I doubt it.

Thank God, my moral convictions would prevent me to accept someone in this community wanting pets for the rest of his/her life!
