Short story, she was a high functioning high earning alcoholic. It's always a 2 person issue so I don't fully blame her, but when every negative thing in life is covered in 2 bottles of wine a night, well, it's harder all around.
40 here, second time getting divorced, no kids from the second marriage, but it was close to a decade. First marriage has the kids and that business is settled thank God, so no custody stress, although I'm forced to live back home with my parents. I quit my career to help take care of my second wife and support her job, it was risky but I trusted her.
I have my girls 50 percent of the time, the other 50 I'll be alone. Now I'm unemployed, and I accrued about 30k credit card debt tied to her and things she needed to do and buy. They have a hiring event at my local warehouse, I'm gonna go grind out in a warehouse in figure to make money until I can get back in my career track, but I'm just cut lose here in the world. My life is for my two little girls now…
Kind of tired, feel beat down and demoralized.
I know I can do it, but yeah, didn't think I'd be a single dad again or be divorced twice. Post divorce life one made sense and you meet a lot of people. Divorced life two though, I dunno, I dunno what people think or if I even care at this point frankly.
I have no friends anyways, she really isolated me
