At a wedding
How Did You Meet?
At a wedding, through a friend. Shook hands, love at first sight....I married at 20 years old, she was 18.
Describe your marriage before the problem.
I loved her with all my heart, good, fantastic, a success story. 3 grown sons, 2 married, all successfull. 2 dachshounds are our children now.
Tell us how you first realized you had a problem.
Discovered 15000 emails on her computer. When confronted, she flew to NC. 3000 km. from Canada --an online relationship now became a physical relationship. Where was I during all this?
What did you do about it or if you have not done anything yet, why?
Was totally blindsided and crushed. Suicidal, angry and forgivness and now I want a divorce as the betrayal is too great. I have forms filled out but cannot bring myself to sign them. But I will very soon. I just can't be the one to take the first step.
If you're not yet divorced, what is your greatest fear?
I have no fear. Change is the law of life. I am not broke and will live better. When difficulties arise, so do opportunities
If you're not yet divorced, what two tips would you share with others?
Keep busy, keep your health up, get therapy and see a shrink. Become very busy so as not to think. Also juice carrots, I have been juicing 2 litres a day since 1997 and the more the better as I will live forever. I wish I smoked, I would smoke weed. But I have no vices at all.
If your divorce is final, what was the hardest part of the divorce?
Not there yet. But all my crying is over and I am so glad. I have empathy for others, suffering. I donot know how women with children cope. Adultery is the worst crime a spouse can commit. How can forgivness be extended when there is no remorse? It's hard on my grown sons and it is best to let them come to their own conclusions and donot talk badly of the adulterer. The way we handle our problems defines who we are. It can be a shinning moment if we act accordingly.
If your divorce is final, what two tips would you share with others?
Think positive, don't rush into a new relationship. Get new clothes, enjoy life. Travel, don't make the same mistakes twice, be encouraging to everyone especially family members. Life is good and never, ever give up. I do want another partner in life, one who would love to be adored by me. My wife is the only woman I actually made love too. I am a faithfull person.
