Divorce sucks

[scabzzzz]

Sounds like a weekend at the strip club should do you some good....

Keith,

It hurts. However my bro, get on with life. U will be f-ing amazed at what a commodity u r. There is absolutely no shortage of available women out there. I live in a condo and there r 9 desperate housewives there. A couple of cougars. I was dating a woman almost half my age. Shit man, u r a rock star. U have a job, manners and listen with a concerned ear. Dude, put ur boots on it is a better life after divorce. There is a reason u r not married to her. Most likely a damn good reason. Prob dont see it now but sheet, run with it.

I have friends who r divorced and they flounder and get stuck because of the "I'm divorced" thing. F--K that sh-t man. LIVE! I am enjoying my life because divorce was a good thing.

It takes some time but time is all we got. When u start meeting other ppl (woman) remember the guy u used 2 be. Leave ur bags where they need to be, in the past.

I see ur friends here and know you have there support. Life is too short to be unhappy. You can make it thru this.

I was with my ex for 9 years. Married for almost 5. We split up I thought it was the end of the world........For awhile. Then for awhile I went crazy. I was with her so young I didn't get a chance to really grow up through the wild/fun years........Let alot of things go because of lack of caring etc.........

A few years later I can tell you it was honestly the best thing that has happened to me. I got to experience life in a way I wouldn't have been able to and since have met and remarried a GREAT woman........Things are better now than ever..........And you better beleive I was one of the guys saying I'll never get married again.

Sounds like the average timeline: Sucks at first, maybe for a while, then you're over it, then you are so glad it happened.

Never, ever get yourself caught into the "shoulda, woulda, coulda" game. It's not going to happen, not going to change anything. Make your future better and find someone/thing else to fill the void, an E30 comes to mind;)

Keith,

Sorry to hear that man. But we're all glad to see you're still around. Hopefully it doesn't go too roughly and things don't end up in a bunch of legal disputes. Good luck man, and let us know if you need anything.

[Autobahn Sport]

Wow Keith, I'm very sorry to hear that. Regardless of thing being bad or things getting better it's still a horrible experience I hope I never have to go through.

Please don't forget that you have a lot of local bimmer guys that are here for you! Seriously, if you need to grab a beer, help wrenching on the car, anything to take your mind off it for a bit or give you support please let us know.

While we are on the topic, I have to ask what's worse? A divorce or your long time girlfriend dumping you?

My relationship seemed pretty good until I started talking about being married to her. To make the long story short, she figured that it would be better that we broke up now instead of getting married only to later divorce. Is divorce that much worse than breaking up with your girlfriend?

Yes, because if you are married, generally you have to give her all your money. If she is just a girlfriend, then you keep your stuff.

Seriously, ending of any long-term relationship is painful whether or not both parties agree or not. You do recover and will generally figure out that it was for the best in the long run. If one party insists on believing they are unhappy, both will suffer.

Common law marrage would suck for that long term G/f issue. In Cali at least it does not.

But it does here,

Alabama
Colorado
District of Columbia
Iowa
Kansas
Montana
New Hampshire (for inheritance purposes only)
Oklahoma
Pennsylvania
Rhode Island
South Carolina
Utah

How are you doing Keith?

[Joey Link]

Hey Keith,

I don't think we've ever met, but if you ever need feel like grabbing a beer or something I'm in West Linn as well.

Life is too short. It sucks when you realize the person you are married to is not the person you were meant to "grow old with"...

This too shall pass.

Laci Peterson that hoe.

[Jaygo333]

Sorry man. I hope all gets better.

I guess that's pain on a whole different level.

I've been saying, "It sucks when you realize that the person you wanted to marry is off on a tropical island with another man."
