Lanfear63 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 After 15 years marriage, my wife has filed for divorce. At 61 I don't really relish this but relations have been strained over the last few years. Lot's of things to be worked out of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perryny Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Real sorry to hear that, Mark. This is pretty rough and I hope the pain passes soon. You seem like a really good guy and I wish you nothing but happiness. -Rob Lanfear63 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanfear63 Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 Thx people Life does not always turn out as you plan or think it will go. I used to think that there was such a thing as a soulmate, someone you could spend a lifetime with and be in tune with. My philosophy has changed to being that you can have these special people in your life from time to time, but they are not necessarily for you forever, and you for them If you find one, you are lucky.In the early days, I thought "This is the one, finally" But no, it just was for a time. I think you pretty much said that you found one in Riffle Claude....Oh I'm sorry, I mean Cheryl. You're a lucky man. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwolfe Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Sorry to hear about the Divorce. If you want pull a chair up at the Bar and have know that Riffle & Claude will continue their jokes or abuse to each other. Lanfear63 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Riffle Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I might recommend not commenting on your marriage, Mark. Divorce attorneys are the used car salesmen of the legal profession. There is no end to the depths they'll stoop. HeySal, Claude Whitacre, dwolfe and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divorce attorneys are the used car salesmen of the legal profession. There is no end to the depths they'll stoop. First of all Iam truly sorry to hear that , Mark. I know a lot of back and forth bantering and roasting goes on here. And has for years. Bit when serious stuff happens I think we all realize that in the end we may just be a little closer than we thoguht. Maybe not lifelong friends like the ones we grew up with in grade school. But for internet friends...well they can be closer than some might think. Anyway, Dan I took Mark's comments as general ones. Nothing really was divulged that an Attorney could latch onto and use against him. Just pretty general kind of venting that Mark's doing. No details of why and how. (That is what I gathered at least) I think Mark is too intelligent to do that. Lanfear63 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I did not plan to go any deeper than that. A few general philosophies about my Impeccable Track Record. But thank you for pointing that out.

I was recommending he not do that. Lanfear63 and Claude Whitacre 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose if you want to talk about divorces in general and your experiences with them in the past..always interesting. It's my first...and last.

Princess Balestra Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Gotta hope you OK, Fearo. Always, we would wanna walk out with diligence an' heart, expectin' the best from all liaisons. Or why show up anyplace? Ain't no fun when stuff don't work out like you wanna ... speshly when mebbe it coulda ... but that don't ever diminish the wishin' for good times an' the desire to fire 'em up. Whatevah went on in them 15 years is more'n half yours — an' while it mebbe fallowin' out for a while, don't mean next part ain't gowin' noplace. Challenge for resta us is what kinda existential threat we can administer beyond A NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH RIFFLE or AN AFTERNOON IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH RIFFLE AND CLAUDE or 20 MINUTES IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH RIFFLE AND CLAUDE AND WHATTO SINGS gonna stopya makin' with the puns an' the humor. tbh, i can't see it — so prolly you be OK.

The feeling you get from a soulmate, is coming home, l got that from her. I really don't give a shit at this point in time, but maybe kickstarting my career will,.....give me access to a minibar, lol.

kay king Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Your version of "where's waldo"? Mark - I think you are right that the 'perfect' person might only be the right person for THAT period of your life..and theirs. It always hurts, but sometimes the absence of tension comes as a surprising relief. Try to stay cool and keep some friendship there - if you can.

ShayB Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 As someone who has been through 2 divorces, I know it's not easy. However, it can be a time of renewal, redirection, and opportunity. *hugs* Lanfear63 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeySal Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 Sorry to hear this, Mark. I've been there, too. Didn't marry every man I lived with but the split is the same if you are or aren't. The one I thought I'd grow old with died, so not much you can do to resurrect that - but I'd call myself lucky to have found it at least once in my life. As far as the split ups -- I felt so good after it was all over that there was no pain after the situation was ended. Hope you have the same feeling of happiness when walking into your new stage of life. Lanfear63 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
