As expected
I've just found out my marriage is over.

She's met someone else. I was planning on leaving anyway.

Right, now that call to my parents to ask if I can stop with them for a bit.

Not funny I know, but why not announce this to a world of strangers and hope everyone else understands?

My Nan is gonna be mortified.

Sorry to hear it, dude.
I hope it's not as bloody a split as mine was.

Best of luck to you with this...

Good luck mate
Just read your previous post about your wife. Seems to me you're too good for her, and canny enough to know it and plan your escape.

Come and join us in Emo Corner, if it helps.

If it's any consolation,
your nan was pretty chipper the other night.

It must be hard
but at least you were planning to finish it as well so you know you were both in the same place. In the long run it'll be better for you to move on asap, even though it still might hurt.

I wish you luck :)

p.s A girl i work with was divorced for a year and didnt tell her family. The bloke was still living with her. It was really weird.. But you may not need to tell Nan yet tho :)

nan
pretend to your nan that you're not really upset about it and hopefully she won't take it so badly.
that's what i did when i got divorced.
i later found out my nan hated the bloke anyway, so that may have contributed towards her attitude there.

at least you saw it coming!
i got divorced about 4 years ago, it was absolutely horrible.

BUT without going through it i wouldn't have ended up happilymarried to the second mrs blaireau.

and little baby blaireau wouldn't be here either!

if you need to talk then i'll be here for you,
in the meantime have a cyber-hug x

Poor thing. Just remember that all these bad things in life happen for a reason and something better is coming. As wise mummy Minsh says "the biggest disappointments bring the biggest rewards".

Edit: As some kind person pointed out i apparently sound like a "pompous twat". I wasn't trying to force anything on anyone else, juts trying to pass along something that helps me get through low points in my life.

Sod off.
Wise mummy Minsh is obviously a pompous twat. The same goes for you.

Get a good solicitor
She's met someone else, she's ending it and lets face it, she's probably an adulterous whore. Explain all this to the solicitor & hopefully you can get divorced without losing too much money (if any). Sorry if this sounds a bit clinical.

Good point
It's pretty hard nosed, but the above's right. Don't agree to anything before getting the legal advice, and hopefully it'll limit any material damage.

On the emotional side, only thing I can say is to remember the old saying "this too shall pass." Holds true in bad times fortunately, also holds true in good times unfortunately.

My ex
tried to claim she hadn't had an affair, and had met her current squeeze after she left me.

My lawyer gently reminded her she was still married even after the huge gap of being seperated for 2 months.

Yes
People are idiots. "But we were seperated so it cant be adultery..." *slaps forehead*
