Other than infidelity, abuse or addiction what was the last straw that convinced you to finally divorce? Also how long did you stay married?

Obv this is a question for divorced members.

Lack of communication and any type of intimacy turns married people into roommates. That unfortunately is very common.

@brian29715 I am sorry. It might be time to consult with a divorce attorney just to see what is in front of you. The information you need to collect, and get your questions answered. You basically have 3 options if she is not interested. First you can just keep going as you are with no hope of love or passion. Or you could find your passion outside of your marriage (that's really not the best but its the most common choice) , or you pull the pin and start over. Most people pull the pin after the have found passion outside of their marriage and now have someone that loves them.

@TexChik thank you for the thoughts and well laid out options. Goes without saying, but there is no easy choice.

@brian29715 about my 3rd year out of school I had to start working with family law. My bosses felt like I needed to see it all before settling into what I wanted to do. What I told you is what I deduced from 3 years of family law.

After my second child was born my ex lost all interest in sex. And the times I could convince her it was just boring and bland. “Could you hurry up and finish” is not really sexy talk to speed up the process.
@JesseInTX Maybe you were lousy in bed!

@fernie2 that’s not something I’ve ever been accused of.

I was married to the 3rd ex for almost 25 years. He had always been abusive when drunk, but then when threatened with jail, and after my son was grown, he began to play mind games. Gas lighting me was one of his favorites. He began to have rage episodes. I was so controlled that I couldn't go anywhere unless it was to a store nearby.

Finally, he threatened my freedom openly...and told me he was going to have me locked up. The worst part was when he tried to gaslight me two minutes later and tried to pretend he had never said it.

That's when I told him I wanted a divorce. And he didn't try to get me to stay. There was no love there.

My ex had to make sure I'd never collect social security on his salary, after convincing me to stay home with the kids.
I got raped by him on Aug 17 and served with papers a day later.
It was sudden and planned years in advance to get me good!
Married 9 years and 9 months.

He wouldn't work. Married for 10 years.
@Rhonda How did you make it that long and at what point did you say (after having already invested 10 years), that’s it, I’m done. Can’t take it anymore?

Those are kind of the big three right there
They probably account for over 90% of divorce .

@DoubleRings Fine. Disagree to your heart's content.

Until it fits together perfectly with the three things that motivate every man and the three that motivate every woman and the one disproof that proves all those truths..


I'm just sayin. Your mileage will definitely vary.
@SteelHands not sure what that means - no need to explain though. it’s ok.
SteelHands · 70-79, M
@DoubleRings whether you are unaware or not, doesn't make the myth of its secrecy contingent on your permission I know these things.

Maternal domination, manipulation and deprivation are not sex money and power by any tossings of word salad.

In a war of words nobody listens anyway.
SteelHands · 70-79, M
People get divorced because they find someone else they have sexual control of and it won't affect their money.

All other excuses are BS. they use to hide their indecency and make the other look bad.

@DoubleRings A small number maybe. Nobody walks away from sex on tap unless they aren't getting their fair share.
Ive def walked away not getting any from anywhere. @SteelHands

Finances I was married for a year 😟
@DeluxedEdition Did he have a ton of debt you didn’t know about or he just sucked at handling money?
I found his body parts collection
TexChik · F
@fernie2 😲 what seemed to be his favorite parts? There was a mortician that was discovered to have hundreds of severed penises in jars in his home. Sick puppy that one!
@TexChik 🤔 Sounds like he was Gay but couldn't get out of that closet. I found mostly feet
