Hey guys....

I haven't posted a ton lately....mainly because of what's been going on in my life. Several weeks ago, I let you all know that Samantha had decided that she wants to separate and ultimately divorce. It's been an emotional struggle to be under the same roof with a woman you love.....knowing that she's about to walk out of your life. That all comes to an end on Thursday morning. She starts her trek back to Canada then. As I said before, I will wish her well and I really do hope that she finds what she's looking for. In the meantime, it's gonna be hard......very hard. I'm going to be left here in the life that she and I have created over the past 9+ years. She's a special person and I've been lucky to have had such a good 12 total years with her.

It's scary going forward, not really having a direction. People who know me know that I am consistent. And I like being that way. My sense of normal is going to be greatly altered here in a matter of hours. I decided to take off the rest of the week from work. Tomorrow, I figure that I'll help her load up the car and pack it with anything she wants to take. It's going to feel very odd knowing that I am helping her pack up to leave me behind. Then Thursday morning, she'll drive away....never to return. That's hard to even type.

I know that some people may say....."well there is always a chance she will change her mind and realize that she's made a mistake." To that I say, there is no chance of that. I know her well enough to know this.....she's made up her mind. yes, when she goes home to Canada, she will miss me (I have no doubts of that)....but she'll get through the tough times. She's a tough woman. But more importantly, once I watch her drive away, I'll be watching a large piece of my heart drive away too. I won't allow myself to sit here and have hope that one day she'll come to her senses and call me up...wanting to come back. That can't happen because nothing good can come of that. The trust is gone....and there is no relationship that ever works without that.

Thanks for letting me vent guys

Sadly, Thursday will be here before you know it, but so will Friday and Saturday and Sunday, etc.....

Be as strong as you can be. As much as so many men joke about wanting rid of their wives none of them would want to go through this.

Obviously I don't know you, but I wish you the best and hope you find peace and then ultimately happiness.

Thanks guys.

Betone.....I can't wait to meet you

Sportsaholic......maybe that tranny will have new uses (FUCK THAT!)......I mean no.....don't FUCK THAT!

penguinfan.....something I learned years ago after watching my Dad pass away before my eyes was that time does indeed heal all. I never thought I'd be able to get over my Dad being gone. It took me a long time, but I can talk about him and think about him with a smile on my face now....and not be sad. Same thing will happen here....I believe that. I'll think about the good times and be able to smile about them.

It's gonna be tough early on guys....I know that. I am so so so glad that the Madjack golf outing is just around the corner. It really couldn't come at a better time

Hang in there man.

The only cure will be time which P-Fan eloquently put. The only suggestion I have is to maybe make a list of things you want to get done, around the house, the office, your life, etc... That you can turn to when you need to escape your mind.

You got my number if you need to bullshit - Been working late, hell you might be doing me a favor by calling.

Take care PBA

Been there, dude, and it can suck and does suck for awhile. It does get better. We can talk anytime, you know the number. The best advice I can give is do the opposite of hedgehog. I promise.

:0008

Talk soon. :toast:

You'll always be stronger after fighting through this. And always tell yourself...you've only got one life to live so live life with no regrets and never wish you would've done something you didn't. Fight through the bad, and remember...EVERY DAY IS A GOOD DAY

I actually just went to my family doctor last week, Old School. I talked to him about everything that's going on and he said I'm handling things surprisingly well. My blood pressure was even low for me. But I can honestly say that I've gotten a lot better about taking care of me over the past year or two. I have always been the guy that takes care of others and puts others before himself....but I had to realize that if I'm not taking care of myself...there is no me to take care of others.

I am very sorry for you and Samantha, Bart. A very difficult time for both of you. However, take some solace in the knowledge that no sadness occurs without love. Be thankful for that. Sensitivity, isn't a bad thing. Head up brother.

Wishing nothing but the best for you, Bart. You have a great support system here at MJ's with your extended family. Don't be afraid to sound off on any of us. I look forward to the day I can have a beer with you :0074
