A man has opened up about his unhappy relationship with his wife and how it took her over a week to even realise they had broken up....CONTINUE READING
Taking to social media to share his story, the man detailed how the former couple had been together for eight years after meeting at college.
Giving some background, he explained that his wife had worked during the first half of their marriage but when her company downsized she got laid off and became a stay-at-home wife.
He added: “She was not at home that much. She had friends she took trips with, and had a lot of lunches and dinners with them. And while I remember our love life being passionate in the beginning, it’s just that, a memory.”
When the man was 29, he was involved in a near-fatal car crash that resulted in him spending two weeks in a coma. It took him four months to get better and go back to work and even now he has little memory of what happened. Rather than unite the couple, the accident drove them further apart.
He went on: “When I came back home my wife put me in the spare room, She said it had been like that a while because I was snoring.
I kept my mouth shut, but I knew that this was new. The accident somehow gave me clarity of mind. I could see that the marriage had been over for a while. But I still wanted to see if I could save it. Everything I tried failed.”
With the writing seemingly on the wall for their marriage, the man admitted it was his 30th birthday that finished things off. “I came home and she was not home. She was having a spa day with her friends.
I ordered takeout, watched a movie, and made a decision. I wanted out. The next morning I asked my lawyer to start drafting divorce papers,” he said.
“I stopped engaging with her unless absolutely necessary. Slowly I started selling anything that had any emotional value to me. I left all her stuff for her. I bought a new car and left it in a parking garage not so far from our home.
One month later all I had left were my clothes a couple of laptops, a projector, portable screen. Everything I needed to work from the road. I did not quit my job, I arranged for it to be completely remote.”
Two months after his birthday, while his wife was out for lunch with friends, he packed up the remainder of his things, left a letter and the divorce papers in his room, and left their home.
He added: “Ten days after I left I got a text from my wife asking me where I was and if this was a joke. She called me but I didn’t pick up.
I never pick up the phone while driving. I had an automated text sent that said ‘I’m driving and will call back later’. She sent me text after text after text.
“That night I stopped in a motel and decided to read the texts before calling her back. First, she asked if this was a joke, then asked when I would come back, Then begged me to come back, not knowing why I left and then she said something.
She was sorry and it didn’t mean anything and she will cut him off… She was having an affair. Something I never suspected.”
Despite trying to get him back, the man stuck to his guns and continued with the divorce, revealing that he cut off contact completely following their final chat.
People reading the post were in awe and shocked at the callous behaviour of his ex-wife. One person replied: “Good for you, you realized something was wrong and decided to leave your wife, that was smart.
“I think that before the accident she had her adventures. After the accident, when she decided to have you move into the guest room, she didn’t want to be unfaithful to her lover with you…CONTINUE READING>>
