Oh man, those words are pure wisdom.

Its a shame that you had to divorce for those reasons. But let me quote your pearl of wisdom once again.

Life is meant to be trudged over, not pranced over. It's hard most of the time, and when it isn't, those moments are moments of pure bliss.

I really do hope everything works out for the best.

Sad story with some very valuable life lessons.

At least you have the idea that you would never be so petty and destructive as to try to control your own kid's life because of your own selfish feelings.

Sucks man, from what you are expressing on the outside it seems you have a pretty solid mental grasp on the subject.  Guess you just have to wait out the emotional pain until it builds you up that much more.

Parker,

I can somewhat understand where you're coming from. Fortunately for me, it's only half of the family that's the problem (mine). And just my parents...my aunts, uncles, surviving grandparents--all good.

Haven't spoken to my dad in 14 years, so he's been a non-player. My mother, however, decided to become the most selfish person I've ever seen when my son was born. My marriage and relationship with my mom barely survived that. She repeated the shit when we adopted our daughter...my marriage survived (hardly a blip at that point), but my relationship with my mother didn't.

A different situation, as kids were already there. As hard as it was, probably the only thing that kept the wife and I together during the roughest part was concern over how it would affect our son and his care (he is severely disabled). Nothing cages your gyros like kids, that's for sure.

During those toughest times--when the wife and I were both seriously contemplating splitting up--I often wondered what it would be like. And it scared the ever-lovin' piss out of me. I think it takes a measure of strength to go down either road. Sticking with the marriage brings foreseeable pain and stress, which the marriage may well not survive. Splitting up induces so many unknowns that it can be a special kind of stress all its own. Survival of either grows character and strength.

Best wishes, man.

The question is, why won't they let you be together? What would make them so stubborn that they can't accept it?
what it comes down to at the end of the day?
a difference in social class.
she came from money. i came from a single mother who worked two jobs to get me what i needed.
her parents showed love and validation through items...fendi, coach, gucci, dolce etc.
they disliked the fact that i was "blue collar". the fact that i own two businesses at 26 years old means nothing.
they attacked our very existence. when her parents found out we were back together, her mother punched her in the fucking ear....her brother told her that she was no longer considered part of the family. her father wouldnt even give her the courtesy of a conversation.

i cant even begin to express the amount of turmoil they put her through. it got to the point where i had to take the phone from her, cause her mother was making her ball by the nasty things she was saying. that only compounded the problem, as any time i got involved her father would try to "man up", and threaten to kick my ass.
i dont fear an ass whooping, but i do fear the ramifications of me beating her father.


it just wasnt a way to raise a family. people should not have to work so hard to be happy.....so we arent.
they win. shes moving to new york to focus on her career. she could give half a fuck about a family now......so im sure they feel fucking awesome.

anyway...thanks guys.
it helps to not only spew my shit on here, but to know that i can get advice as well.

Holy Fucking shit man.  What a couple of assholes.  I'm really sorry to hear that Parker.  That sad.  Not just the situation, but her parents... Wow, what a bunch of miserable people.  Glad you didn't kick daddy's ass.  Hang in there, man.  Time heals.

They may have money, but they are seriously lacking class.

I guess I don't understand how some people can be so petty about money. You can be a millionaire, but if you never spend a day with your family what's the point?

Most people don't care what i have to say, but i just thought i'de let you know that im sorry about what happened, and thats such a terrible reason to have to split.
At first when i read your post i thought maybe you guys argued or didnt get along or someone cheated. But it sucks that her family couldn't accept you and essentially upgrade your class, instead of just being cunts.

I don't think I've ever agreed with Zimmer more.

I recently had to walk away from a long term friend because my relationship with her wasn't good for my own piece of mind. I can't even begin to imagine how much harder it would be to walk away from somebody you married.


My condolences man, best of luck.

And yeah getting tanked probs isn't the best idea right now.

Exactly. Their family sounds like a bunch of douchebags, as if this was like 15th century. While I do not know you much, you sound like a nice bloke from all the posts I read.

Then again, if you love her, and you want to do the best in her interests, then leaving her be may be the best idea if you care for her. I know this may sound cruel but that is life I am afraid. One thing I would do is marry her and burn the bridges behind me, running off to some very far country... Just some thoughts.

but honestly if your parents and her parents didnt like you being together why dont you go and live your life together somewhere else they cant stop you if you loved her and she loved you why didnt you consider that. (even though it sounds like a movie cliche)

what a difference eight days makes!

i mean, its not like im over her, or moved on....but man, this past week feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. of course, im not everything the right way, but it works for me right now.
music has been my medicine though. it turns out i can actually play the banjo....and sing!
never had a clue i was musically inclined until all of this happened. getting ready to buy a violin pretty soon.
anyway, thanks for the feedback/support guys.
just another reason why i love this community.

it still wouldnt solve anything...
