That's right baby. You will start working out again and buying new clothes. Gotta catch up on the dance moves. Now it's time to build a DDR pad. Watch out world.

Well I got my Bowflex and have a nice collection of DDR games, so yeah I guess it is time to build that DDR Pad. I'm in Bloomington Indiana. A College town and you know what? There is always a flow of new blood through here. Great bars and hangouts. Hmm.

Looks like my arcade cabinet building may be on hiatus, but of course I have to wait on my art to get done anyway.

Man - you're 25? Lots of time left. Just consider her a girlfriend and you broke up. Now you can get a nice hottie and live happily arcadily after...

P.S. I would send her a freakin bill for taking care of her mom! Just make sure to mention that to the court.

Dude, I know it hurts, but you are in the best divorce situation I have ever heard of. The biggest thing is that there are no kids, your young, plus it sounds like there won't be any messy legal crap. You have great friends supporting you, and it's your chance to be a guy again, and in a college town no less. Get over this woman as soon as possible, and enjoy a life many would envy.

I'm concerned about this house she's moving into. I understand y'all were planning to move into it together. Did you buy it? Is your name still associated with it? If so that's your first damn order of business.

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #45 on:** July 28, 2005, 05:56:20 pm »

Luckily my name is on nothing. We got married on weeks before she left to go overseas. So the house we were moving into, her family owned and she was to get a VA loan for it. Now, the only thing that has both of our names is my car. I believe everything should be fine.

And the older you get, the larger the playing field becomes.

The woman I am with now post divorce is 10 years younger and the best mate a man could ask for.

Life goes on and the light will shine brighter.

I know several people who say divorce is the best thing that ever happened to them. Just get yourself a good lawyer and you'll be fine, since you don't have any kids.

I heard on the radio that the number of single women over 30 largely outnumbers men in the same age bracket here in Perth, Western Australia. So if you are ever in Australia you might want to consider heading west for a few weeks. And if you do it when one of the US naval ships are in town then all the single girls come out to play.

I'll just get back in my box now.

You know the sad thing? When I met Jess I was dating 7 women. Sleeping with 2 of them sometimes....at the same time. She made me forget all of that. Overnight I stopped seeing them all. I guess its time to get back to those winning ways. LOL

It doesn't seem like it now but sometime down the line you will realise how lucky you were that this didn't happen 10-20 years down the track with 3 kids under your belt.
I think she's probably done you both a favour, you're young, you've got friends and seriously, you'll be a chick magnet. Don't make the mistake of getting heavily involved immediately, it's easy to do believe me. Good luck.

Maybe I'm not reading this right. Exactly how long were you married? This makes it sound like it was not a very long time at all.

Mathematically, just over two years, it seems.

We got married on April 14, 2004. We have been living together since 2001.

Wow, short marriage. If she was going to renege on vows she took before God, you, and your friends and family, I suppose it's better for you she did it now.

i am deeply sorry to hear about your situation.

for every yin there is a yang brother, and i dont need to tell you be supremely thankful for all parties no children are invloved

AlanS17 · « **Reply #63 on:** July 30, 2005, 01:44:13 am »

Well I've never been married,but i've been on the losing end of a couple of majors relationships.

1. Your heart doesn't stop beating just cuz you're depressed. Life goes on. Might as well go with it.

2. Keep yourself busy and surrounded by friends. It'll keep you from thinking about all that stuff. It's pretty much pointless to, anyways. Won't fix anything. It'll only make you sick.

3. People don't re-evaluate their lives without a reason. There's got to be a trigger. Maybe it was being in active duty. Maybe she met someone. Either way, though, she's a flake and it's better to find out sooner or later.

4. You lived up to your end of the deal. Sorry she didn't, but you deserve better than that anyways. Give yourself some time to get over it, but go find yourself someone better.

5. She's "damaged goods" just like bad fruit. Don't forget that. You don't want damaged goods. And any smart guy knowing her past and what she did to you won't want damaged goods, either.

6. Aside from a broken heart, you're getting out just about scott free. Chalk it up to practice for a better marriage next time and move on.

Man, this has got to suck. But I think Apollo may be right. I can't believe she'd bait and switch like this, but as was said before, if this was gonna happen, you dodged a serious bullet by having it happen now instead of later. Jump on IM when you can.

AmericanDemon · « **Reply #65 on:** August 08, 2005, 11:53:55 pm »

Well good news. I have found an apartment yay! 2 bedroom and a full bath. Fully furnished. $425.00. I was amazed! Its a really good place. Best part, I didn't have to pay first last and deposit. I lucked into a Sublease. Guys mom is in the hospital and he has to leave. So he was in a pinch.

Its getting easier. Still weighs heavily though. But I'll make it.

I'd like to second the addition of a stripper pole and if it's not allowed in your new place, maybe some of your BYOAC buddies can chip in and get ya the stripper. However I'm not sure how many would take paypal nor what they might look like.

Hey its a distraction and it could help

Hehe a stripper pole.... man I had really thought about that. But where do I put the arcade cabinet and the big screen and the bowflex if the pole is there? Hmmm.... I got a pole she can dance on.

Regardless, its gonna be cool to start over. College towns rock and this time of year its nothing but new people to the area looking for love anyway.

Plus there are some hotties who skydive at the same drop zone as me too.

AD, sorry to hear this. I know when I was down there in May, you had been planning on moving. Next time that I am in Bloomington, I will buy the beers. Owe ya some still anyway!

My best friend was in Iraq for over a year. When he got back, his wife took off after a couple months. They had problems before he left so he was not totally surprised like you are/were.

He has a list of "accomplishments" that he is trying to hit before he turns 40 or gets re-married etc. Since you are in a college town, it may be very easy for you to come up with your own scoresheet to work on!

We're here for you man.

Everyone keeps saying how young 25 is. I just turned 25, and feel like my clock is ticking. Two of my friends just got married, and my best is on his way. My brother-in-law (36) was helping me deal with a current relationship, and said the same thing. I just don't feel young.

He also said one thing, his friends that got married < 30 are miserable, and his friends that got married > 30 are blissful. Most of all, he said,

1. Avoid damaged goods, i.e. crazy ones.

2. Never "settle."

3. Its always worth waiting for the perfect person.

Any thoughts?
