Sad to hear but happy for you too if that makes sense? Don't sell everything just yet, let this all settle in before you make any decisions you may regret.

I agree with RC,just one wife,and I am 34 years in,so I will keep her!

Been there. My first wife had no interest in my Charger (or anything else I was into for that matter). Charger sat and rotted the whole 15 years we were together. Started seeing my current wife about a year after everything was final and she's great. Been together 13 years now. Not only did she support me in starting the project, but she enjoys going to car shows and watching shows like Fantomworks, Mecum, and Bitchin Rides with me (She can't stand GYC due to the show Mark puts on). Not only is the Charger finally making progress, but she helped me get the Barracuda back on the road, and we just picked up a clean original '71 Chevy C10 for a fun daily driver.

Point of all this,... I know it can suck! But things have a way of working out for the best if you keep the faith. Don't rush into any big changes and just enjoy what comes.

I though the elephant was supposed to be under the hood.

Yeah, I got the "We need to talk" thing a couple years after moving from Minnesota to Indiana for her job. Then to find out she was feeling that way before we even moved. Told her it would have been nice to know that before leaving family and friends for a new area. She said "Well, I thought it might help". You want to talk crazy?? Oh well,.... Like I said, life has a way of working out. I'm happier now than I was before. You'll get through it too! Just enjoy the new opportunities and lean on friends a bit when you need to!

Funny story,... My brother went through the same thing with his wife a couple years back, after about 30 years. You want to talk about crazy,.... She took the cake. We saw it coming and expected it as soon as the youngest was out of the house and done with school. He and I were talking as things were getting finalized and out of the blue he said, "Well,..... at least it will be nice to be able to have sex again!!". My brother is very loyal to his beliefs, and usually a dry-humor, controlled kind of person. I thought I was going to spit my drink out my nose!!

She left me in March of last year but didn't want the divorce to be final until she turned 65 so she could stay on my company insurance plan. About 8 months ago she mentioned it was my idea for that but instead of starting yet another argument, I just went along with it and said it was only a suggestion to help her out but if she wanted to get the divorce settled now, go ahead and get that ball rolling. She didn't so that tells me for sure it wasn't my idea. That's how it's been for a lot of years. Her selected memory drove me nuts for years. Even thought about recording our conversations just to prove to her the things she said but what for. She would just say I recorded someone else. Also, everyone came before me....her family, friends and even the neighbors. I'm the one that should have left 25 years ago! Bent over backwards for that woman and then some. At 67 I'm not looking for another but if someone does show up in my life.......who knows.
