I’ve never really seen the point of being adversarial just for the sake of it…it’s not like you gain anything by it.

Quoted: Fat, purple haired kindergarten teacher? Get rid of the guns and have a lobotomy (vote Democrat). View Quote When things have gone beyond reasonable discussion and into ultimatum territory, there is nothing left to do but bail. This country is pretty much there, as well. Some demands cannot be met without losing your core self. It takes a measure of strength to stand at that point. It will only get harder. |

Quoted: 24 years..and yes the differences were pretty much irreconcilable. I held on because of the kids but the youngest is a Senior in HS and this summer was a b***h. She's a teacher so the summers were rougher. She dropped an ultimatum on me and I pulled the plug . I guess she expected something else so I'm the bad guy View Quote If you two can't agree on who gets the house then the court will decide for you. They might decide that neither of you gets the house |

Quoted: So her ultimatum was basically “shut up and do as you’re told?” Damn. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I answered that question awhile back. She's basically wanting me to never question her orders, motives etc. I have plenty of reason to. So her ultimatum was basically “shut up and do as you’re told?” Damn. "Woman who teaches young children expects husband to follow orders like a young child. News at 11." |

That's rough, sorry man. Hope there's light on the other side of the tunnel for ya. Good on you for sticking around for the kids. They may not understand now, or maybe they will, but at least it won't do any lasting harm. Selflessness is a virtue.

Quoted: Most women won't put up with a drunk. Going with this since OP won't tell us the ultimatum. View Quote I was going to go with break up with the girlfriend. Did you see his description of her? In which case my response would have been drop 87lbs, act like you want my essence and find a natural hair color. Then I’ll break it off with the girlfriend. Until then I’ll break it off in her. |

Quoted: Wow. Just Wow. CNN/MSNBC level of character assination with no know facts. Why even post ignorant shit like that? View Quote Because conservatives are the best at attacking one another and tearing one another down. Liberals don't have to beat us, we're doing a great job of that ourselves. Op, I wish you the best and hope things are great from here on out. |

Quoted: Sorry bro. View Quote Nah I'm good. Start a new job for 9k more at the end of the month. House is worth 300k more than owe on it. Once we get it sold everything is good. In Oklahoma housing is cheap. I've got 529s set up for the kids college Looking forward to a quiet little place somewhere ... |

Nothing you could do would ever make someone like that happy. Marriage is never a “shut up and do what I say” relationship. If someone thinks that it is then they have issues. That’s and the purple hair was a dead giveaway!!! |

Not to be a downer, not knowing your situation, but sounds like you played into her hands. An ultimatum from a control freak should be met with a laugh and redirect. Then tell her to make you a sandwich if you want to piss her off. Such behavior only comes from the powerless. I’m not saying you should deal with it, but you have for 24 years and vows and all. I would make her end it, which I doubt she would. Now you will be blamed for her misery.

Quoted: Quoted: Tell her to move to Minneapolis & see how it goes for her, even with gender inclusive hair colors, being white (providing she is). I mean to say a little over weight isn’t the biggest deal if her womanhood was a facsimile to Niagara Falls in anticipation of your unspoken BDE in her Brazilian cavern of love. If not, good eject. /media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/Wat_JPG-318.jpg Bro is all about the moist. |
