Bart, I don't know you but I have recently gone through this and would like to wish you the best of luck. Everything I have read so far in this thread seems to be great advice. The first few weeks are the worst so keeping busy and hanging with friends that support you will help. And you're right to cut off communications with her, that will make it easier to get over her. You seem like a pretty upbeat guy so I think you'll pull through this very well. I look at my situation like it happened for a reason and that the best is yet to come and I believe that. Keep your head up and I wish you the best. It will get better!

I particularly like what I was so bold as to bold.
Whole shit is good so I left it.

I pretty much hate dance music (re-disco) but thanks, too, Jack, as I think I'm sending my bud a link to the same.

As long as there is singles bars I'm not getting into anything long-term unless I find a deaf, dumb and blind girl (her pinball skills aren't relevant).

i dunno...

Tis better to have loved and lost
than never to have loved at all.

Bart, I am so sorry to hear about this. My heart just breaks for you bro. Know that Teresa and I are both here for you. Looking forward to rooming together for the golf outing in July.

Stay strong bro and call me if you want to talk.

Well, today is Boston day. Flight at 8pm tonight. Can't wait! Need to get outta here....even if it's just for a little bit.

I know that I've kinda turned this thread into a blog about my life......and for my sanity, I may just have to keep that trend going for a while. I've always done a lot better when I put my feelings on paper (or virtual paper, in this case). Just bear with me, guys.

sorry to hear the bad news, last year me and my wife were apart for 4 months , and i know how you are feeling, i would keep yourself busy, and work on yourself maybe join a gym and hang out with some good postive friends, maybe you could try marriage couseling first, before you and your wife call it quits
its never easy , wish you the best ! you alway have a friend in philly:0074

tough time don't last tough people do:0074

 

[Jaxx]

Tough ordeal to go through Bart. I can only imagine. Persevere and let it go. Easier said than done but find solace in the people closest to you and let it all out. You seem like a super individual from testament of madjackers. You will land in a better place through time.

Hey guys. Not exactly sure how to even start this....so I guess it's just, out with it.

After 9 years, Samantha and I are going to head our separate ways. About a month ago, she and I were having coffee one Saturday morning.....and out it came from her mouth. She wants to move back to Canada. (That's when I went numb for a minute or so). Once I partially digested what I heard, I am pretty sure I said something completely pathetic like' "and I'm not invited, am I?" Of course, I knew the answer.

The bottom line is that she and I are best friends.....we really are. We never fight and we always get along......but something is missing for her. She feels like our spark just isn't there. As tough as that is to hear, there isn't something I can say to that. If the feeling is gone for her.....it's gone. Apparently, this isn't necessarily a recent development for her. I've known that she's missed her family a lot, and I'm sure that has a little to do with this.....but she just feels like she wants more out of a marriage (which tells me that she and I just have two different views of what marriage is). I always wanted to marry my best friend.....and I did. I can honestly say, through all the good and bad, I wouldn't have seen it end like this, ever.

Now, having said all of that......THIS WILL NOT BECOME A THREAD ABOUT HOW BIG OF A BITCH SHE IS. Fact is, she's not even close to that. She just wants something different, whatever that is. She's not cheating or anything like that either, so there is no need to even bring that into this thread either.

It's taken me this past month to start digesting everything that's going to happen in my life. In the next month, I'm moving, she's leaving, and I'll be a person that once again has to think as an individual.....not as a team. I think that's the absolute hardest thing for me. I'm so used to having her in my life that I always think for 2. Rewiring my brain to think for myself isn't an easy thing. I know myself well enough to know that I'm a nurturer......it's just in my nature. Call it heredity....I got it from my Mom.

I wanted to tell many of you this news personally, but it's hard. A lot of emotions run through me like sadness, shame, failure, etc. As time passes, I am smart enough to know that these emotions will pass. But even as I was touring a new place to live yesterday, it's hard to look around at my potential new place, and just think......this is now my life. I'm 35 and starting over.....and right now, that's a very sad thing for me.

Sorry to see this bart....You're a good man & I have no doubt that you'll bounce back & hook up with a lucky woman....

Sorry to hear this Bart. I wish you the best of luck. Keep your head up.
