Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my wife announced that she wanted a divorce. She'd actually started dating another man a few months ago, but she wanted to drag our marriage out as long as possible just in case her new relationship fell through. FML
Today, my wife asked me to come talk to her in the bedroom. Thinking she wanted to have a quickie while her sister was spending time with our son, I rushed into the room. She didn't want a quickie, she wanted a divorce. FML
Today, my wife told me that she wants a divorce. Apparently, I'm taking too long to forgive her for having an affair. FML
Today, my wife of 23 years said she wanted a divorce, that she didn't love me anymore and is moving out. Why? I told her I didn't want us to date and have sex with other people. FML
Today, my my soon to be ex-wife found out I was telling the truth and never cheated. She wanted to get back together but I told her that we're too far into the divorce proceedings to turn back, and there's just no fixing our marriage. She then told me she's filing for full custody with no visitation rights. FML
Today, I woke up realizing my wife of less than a year of marriage wants a divorce. We have known each other for 15 years. FML
Today, I started to fall in love with my wife again. We are in the middle of a divorce. FML
Today, my wife and I were having amazing make up sex after several months of painful separation. Halfway through, she screamed for me to stop, climbed off the bed, and ran into the bathroom. She spent an hour screaming and crying, then came out and emotionlessly told me to leave. FML
Today, my girlfriend of almost 3 years told me we needed a break, and that we could try again at the end of the year. FML
Today, a year after we agreed to a divorce, my wife and I are still married and living together because it's not financially possible for us to split. We get along well enough, but I'm ready to move on. She's already moving on, according to the boyfriend she's been seeing for months. FML

Some things you just can't change. It's unfortunate we can't always tell what the other person is feeling. At least you were able to enjoy a nice date with your wife before the divorce. Good luck with what comes next--if you look at it as an exciting new start with the next part of your life it may make things a tiny bit easier!

Sorry to hear OP. But now you know where you stand. Chin up and move on. It's rough when you still care for that person. But for self preservation purposes...It needs to be done.

You deserve better

This is the most overused line on FML. How can you know what they deserve? What if the two were separated in the first place because he cheated on her with 12 other people? Would he still "deserve better"? In such a small story with no details it is impossible to know what the deserve. They could deserve far worse for all we know!

What if she did the same and that he was a victim? We need a follow-up before making a solid assumption #17.

That's exactly the point 17 was making, genius.

NO one deserves to be given false hope only to be rejected. Doesn't matter who did what.

I couldn't have put it better myself! Don't look back on the past. Instead, focus on the good things that are yet to come!

So she got wined, dined, laid and now she wants to get paid. She's cunning OP.

Maybe she found someone else. Give yourself some time, then go out and find someone.

Sorry to hear that OP. Keep your head no matter how bad it hurts. Time heals

Is this another "I still had sex" moments? Sorry about your divorce op.

Sorry, OP. Just because the two of you need to separate doesn't mean the attraction isn't still there. It's rough, but you'll find someone who is right for you. Don't worry. :)

you should probably sign sign the papers. .

You should probably be a bit more sensitive to Op's feelings.

That sucks but sometimes people need closure and maybe that is what that was for her. I'm sure you're hurting but it doesn't last forever. Best of luck brother.

That sucks that she led you on like that. At least you hopefully got more closure. If not, I wouldn't try sniffing around her tree anymore, she might just make it harder for you to let go.
