We have to talk…

Today, my wife asked me to come talk to her in the bedroom. Thinking she wanted to have a quickie while her sister was spending time with our son, I rushed into the room. She didn't want a quickie, she wanted a divorce. FML

Today, a year after we agreed to a divorce, my wife and I are still married and living together because it's not financially possible for us to split. We get along well enough, but I'm ready to move on. She's already moving on, according to the boyfriend she's been seeing for months. FML

Some things you just can't change. It's unfortunate we can't always tell what the other person is feeling. At least you were able to enjoy a nice date with your wife before the divorce. Good luck with what comes next--if you look at it as an exciting new start with the next part of your life it may make things a tiny bit easier!

Sorry to hear OP. But now you know where you stand. Chin up and move on. It's rough when you still care for that person. But for self preservation purposes...It needs to be done.

Ouch.That's the worst kind of break up sex. Sorry OP, I hope you two can work it out. And if you can't, I hope that you can find someone that makes you just as happy as she did when you're ready.

think it's mean of her to sleep with you and get your hopes up like that

That sucks OP, but some things can't just be fixed through sex. Unfortunately this was one of them

I know the feeling. For me it was the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with in my life, but one morning I woke up and felt a lot better about things, and it got easier after that.

I think the sex will make things harder to accept, but time to move on.

maybe she just needed to see if that spark was still there. sorry to hear it didn't work. sometimes love just doesn't last. time to dust yourself off and keep it moving. best of luck to you.

I'm sorry OP... I read this FML & broke down crying because I am going through the exact thing only switched rolls! My husband wanted the separation, we are still close friends and I love him more than ever, we had sex last week and since then has been holding fast to his decision that we need to divorce! My world is in a million pieces and I'm not sure if I will ever be able to trust/love again! You are not alone in the world OP! I am learning to say " I'm surviving!" :-)
