The Dance of divorce

[Knarley BobParticipant 2219]

Was on my way home after an uneventful opening of deer hunting. Hadn’t seen any deer, way to hot. When I arrived home, noticed “Wifey’s” car was gone. Figuring that she was visiting her folks I didn’t think much of it.

As I walked into the kitchen I noticed the table was gone, as were the chairs. I stepped into the living room, and it was empty also. I remember saying to myself “The bitch moved”. The house was empty, except few a few things of mine scattered about.

My name is Knarley Bob, yes it really is in parts. People call me Knarley, or Bob or a few other things I’m not going to mention. I am a Buckskinner and Cowboy Action Shooter, and Knarley is what I go by.

30+ years ago this is what I came home to. That Friday I had handed over my pay check, given my “Loving wife” a kiss and headed out. When I came home I found an empty house. I was taken aback, stunned, sad, and happy all at the same time. We hadn’t gotten along for quite some time. She pulled the trigger, and borrowed money from her Dad to hire a lawyer.

After reading some of the stories here, I see that I got off “Scott Free” the way I played the dance. We had just bought our first house, about a year prior. So there was no equity there. We had been married just 5 years, so no money in savings either, not much any way.

She had a “Secret” new address, and phone number, so I couldn’t contact her. She is a control freak. I told her that if she wanted a divorce, fine. I also told her to keep her lawyer on a short leash, as if he got me angry, I’d get one, they would butt heads, and the only ones who would end up with what little we had………….would be them.

That made sense to her believe it or not. During our “Talks” I mentioned that I had been thinking about having kids,(NOT) just to see her reaction. A couple weeks later she was wondering if “We should just have a separation?” I asked how that was going to work, and she figured that we could go out on “Dates” and I could “Win her Back”. I told her that for one thing, “I don’t want you back” “You said you want a divorce and by God you are going to get one”!

3 or 4 months later it was a done deal. We had no children so that was that. I kept the house, she took the CATS and I kept the parrot.

A year or so later she re-married. I have always felt sorry for the guy, he had NO idea what he was getting into. When I heard of her 2nd wedding, I mentioned that “That dumb bitch probably wore white again.” I about fell off the couch laughing, SHE DID!!!!!

Reading the stories here, have helped me so much. After 30 some years, things are making sense. But the stories of all the lies, disrespect, manipulation the starting of fights all started to ring a bell. A couple of times I have sat back, shook my head, and just said, “No S~~~”.

Any way, it is good to be here Gentlemen, good to be here.

What else is new. I’m not even saying that to be cruel. The degree to which women are control freaks in personal relationships and marriages is simply staggering.

Excellent.

She is not a “win”, anyway. And the last thing you want to do is “date” your own wife.

Thats’ key.

ONE YEAR. I would even let myself call it a “relationship” for at least 9-12 months of PLENTY of good times. Then I would wait at least one more year before even thinking about taking a next step.

Women who “remarry within a year” aren’t very discerning at all. They don’t give a s~~~ WHO the guy is… as long as he’s sucker enough to play the part in her little play – for which she has already done the casting.

It creeps me out.

I could have been married AT LEAST 5-7 times myself (if I pursued it and proposed). But I didn’t see them as suitable mothers or wives. Almost all of those 5-7 exes married the very next guy. How the hell do you want to marry one… and then want to marry the very next one who comes along?? It’s creepy as s~~~.

Better him than me.

When I saw this cartoon, I completely fell back in my chair. This is exactly what their attitudes are like. “I guess you’ll do”. She’s already there, fellas. And she’s just waiting for you to come aboard.

Welcome, knarley bob. Good on you dodging that bullet.

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free.

I was a give-them-nothing advocate until now!

Thanks Knarly! I found something a man can give a women in my book, and that’s a divorce!

Welcome, Knarley, welcome.
What is there to say. I am happy to hear you got to keep the house, and she did not set it ablaze.
While you were sleeping.

After she was gone, what have you done with your life?
After her controlling ways have ended, how did you cope with “being a lone loser” and all that other s~~~ you probably heard, about “finding the right one” and all that jazz…?

Have you Gone your own way, and done your own things for the last 30 years?

[NoMoreParticipant 1233]

Welcome Knarley Bob!

My STBxW tried the whole giving separation a go thing, proposing dating again and such. I told her the same thing you did. You wanted a divorce and you shall have it.

Almost there.

A co-worker recently told me, "If you want to see who someone really is, divorce them." I have found out how true this is. When your wife drops the façade of being the caring partner, you will witness all of the greed, hate, and spite that she has masked. It is truly breathtaking!

Great intro and glad to hear you escaped relatively unscathed. Welcome to MGTOW.com. The beer is in RedPillBibles fridge!!!

Enjoy the forums.

[JustAnotherGuyParticipant]

Welcome to the fold. Many of us have been on that raft.

A year or so later she re-married.

S~~~, a week after my papers were sent to the court, I went to (at the time my) house to do some maintenance in a bathroom before listing it for sale (neither of us could afford to keep it on their own). I had been out of the house for not even a whole weekend, and there was another man’s clothes in a pile on my side of the bed, and our kid was only six months old. When my kid was barely two, she married same dude.

Pretty much done my own thing. First thing I did was buy a Harley. Boy, that frosted her ass. Did the “Biker” gig for many years years, as I was on the move a lot. Didn’t get into the 1 percenter thing, not my style. I have been welding most of my adult life, and jobs change quite often in that field. Have no kids (That I know of) so all the toys I buy are for me. Never re-married, no joint accounts. I like to quote my brother, “I try to derive pleasure from the company of a woman, when the pleasure is gone, so am I.”

You’ll fit in fine. Again welcome. Life is too short to waste it.

“that frosted her ass”…

Thumbs up dude.

Thing could have easily ended up being rather brutal.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

[Knarley BobParticipant 2219]

Well it wasn’t much of a picnic. I still lost a lot of things. I got the “1/2” that wasn’t paid for, she got the “1/2” that was.
I lost things that meant a lot to me, I’m sure that’s why she took them. Besides tearing out my heart, I’ve never seen my niece or nephew again. They were just old enough to take fishing for blue gills. 30 years has dulled the pain, and the sun keeps coming up each morning. One has to move on, and there is joy out there, ya just have to find it.
I kept “Buckskinning” and a number years ago started “Cowboy Action shooting”. And most recently started shooting BPCR. Black Powder Cartridge Rifle. I saw the movie “Quigley Down Under” too many times. I build my own gun rigs, my avatar is some of my work. My basement is my loading area. I cast my own bullets and build my own ammo. When the SHTF I’ll be just fine.

Welcome.

Fascinating to me these kind of stories. That this has always been happening. Women haven’t really changed; society has unshackled their true nature but women are the same as they ever were.
