First, let me say how sorry I am that there seems to be such a gap between you. A lot of folks say that marriage is a 50/50 proposition, but I disagree - it is a 100/100 proposition. My wife and family are the most important things in my life, and most of my life revolves around them.

I don't know much about your family other than the few things I've learned here, but I know that there has to be hope for you. I could give you a lot of advice, but none of it would mean anything. Just think back to what brought you together to begin with, and work with that. If it was something other than money, then there is hope.
Things are more like they are today than they've ever been before...

I don't think it is good for your son to see you eating crap on a daily basis.

If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Sounds like you have the Cups...just need the Balls. Verbal abuse is as damaging to a kid as a chair (wooden of course) across the back of the head. My daughter was 7 when I told her to pack her bag. We never looked back and had a fantastic life as a real team and avoided all the ugly verbal BS that would have ensued had we stuck it out. NOBODY needs that crap.

Its so easy to give advice on the topic and those of us who have been through it really want to help by offering such advice. However when you are the one in the mud its hard to see a clear view of things.

For the record I am also on the side of " Do you want to raise your son in an environment that is not healthy which teaches him such behaviour is acceptable? " Would you want the same life for him down the road?

Ok... now for the best advice you will EVER get from anyone. PERIOD! Are you listening?


Nobody knows your situation better than you. You know all the roadblocks and realities. Knowing what you know...... Imagine your best friend in the whole world being in the exact same position. What advice would you give that person? Whatever it is ... FOLLOW it yourself.

Take Care Jeff,

Tim

How could you throw your daughter out Brother Doug?

Thanks, Tim. But the truth of the matter is that I would advise my best friend to do what he thinks best. I wouldn't intrude on his decision making process.

I'll get through this.

Like a monk, maybe.

(That was a joke, folks.)

If that is the advice you'd give then that's the advice you should follow. Do what YOU think best. that's all you can do.

Best,

Maybe the fact that you posted a thread with this title says it all? It's your choice man, but my intuition says you are close to making a choice.

I know what it's like to be separated from a son. But I can't tell you what to do. All I can tell you is my son likes seeing his dad a happy man. He's about to come on holiday with us for three weeks. He is also 13. Hang in there mate. I can feel how nasty this is for you.

The key word in all this is 'Hate'. Extremely unhealthy atmospherics. Whatever the advise...get healthy my friend.
Who ever stays or goes, that emotion saps all life.

Don't sell the kid short. At 13 he's got a lot more going on than you give him credit for. He feels your pain as expressed through those " moments" . Have a good and real heart to heart talk with him. Then make your decision. I wish you the best----

Stoneunhinged, do you actually talk to her about stuff or have those moments long gone?
And, do you like her company at all when just doing things around the house or do you bicker the whole time?

There has got to be a better way. That's no way to live, life's too short. Good luck Stoney! We're pulling for you.

There r always problems in every marriage. If your that unhappy get out.
Sometimes people stay together for the kids.
Not nice to bash your spouse publicly no matter how bad.

This is not a bar and you are discussing some pretty intimate subjects.

I know you are under a lot of pressure with your Sister and Partner's Cancer Stoneunhinged but I'd feel violated if my partner discussed such details of our relationship even anonymously.

Some of you others might think about the discussion on an open forum as well.

Everybody fights, I can't count how many fights Tom and I have had over dishes. We don't all agree on how carefully we should tend the planet on our Children's behalf. Work it out or don't.

Please keep you most personal details more personal.

Venting doesn't mean it's time to go. Stone said he loves his Wife.

By the way, have Men attained parity in bathroom cleaning? LOL

Maybe Stone's wife should have tended to her marriage relationship. If she were to feel violated maybe that might actually wake her up out of her selfishness. She's violated him far too much to have a complaint.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".
