Thank you everyone for your input and advice, I will not burden anybody anymore with my troubles. Thanks for your support. The Massassi Community is a great place. Dont worry Im not going to do this...:suicide:
I have Project Nar Shaddaa to complete and I have a few other goals to complete as well:

to become a senior Bodybuilder and go back to College.

Thanks everyone.

Those are very good projects - don't back down on any of them.

Of course, you have much more experience that I do in this matter (I reckon*), but here's something that I've learnt so far about marriage: it's really important to take care of yourself - not to let yourself down, not to "give up" too much of what makes you happy.

Otherwise we would end up simply wasting the most precious thing that we have on this Earth, something that we have very very little of in the grand scheme of things -- time.

Consider -- would you be happier with her (the way she treats you) or without at this point? If you think that you would be happier -with- her, well, try to fix the relationship and maybe it'll all work out.

If it's the other way around, though... You see, unlike me, you already lived a third of your life next to this woman. You don't have to "wait and see" how it's going to be like -- you already know.

So if you, deep in your own heart, feel that you would be better off without her (don't think of it as 'alone' -- you will always have your kids, and I deeply believe that our relationships with our children should not be affected by our relationships with our women), then you will finally have the chance to do things that you always wanted but never could.

So yeah, just some words.

From practical advise I would recommend sports, hobbies, meeting friends, driving on a race track, reading, and so forth.

Drinking I would argue against because you'll just think that you're oooh so miserable and **** while in fact you're what you want yourself to be -- just like any human being.

*Not to mention, I believe it's a big difference whether you have a 1.5 year old daughter like I do or kids who are already young adults.

Cheers and best of luck.

First: Who are you? New to Massassi, or returning vet? I don't remember a Darth Dan from way back.



Exactly what I was going to say. Even if you disagreed on the dog and ultimately took on the responsibility after you got it, or worked out some way for you to take a break while the dog and kids stayed at your house, you could call it a compromise. Doesn't seem like this lady compromises too often, though. If any decision is going to be reached, it's going to be on her terms it seems. That means you need to decide what you want out of this situation and then make her think it was her idea.

Women are ****ing idiots who tell you one thing but expect another. There will never be a situation where you'll be good enough, and this proves it.

If you actually want something for yourself, then too ****ing bad I guess.

I'm sorry to hear about your rotten luck, Darth Dan.

I think he is newer but he edits JK so its all good in my book.

Anyway, us selfish types should be single forever. I'm 25 and I don't think I'll ever get married, I do want to find some hooker to knock up so I can have a kid but I'll have full custody.

There are chicks in India that'll do that for a few thousand rupees (practically free in U.S. dollars).

Uhhh did things not work out with the redheaded dreamgirl? :/

I'm really ****ing pissed off at her, and the entire world right now.

Channel that anger against Wookie & his minions (e.g: BobTheMasher) in a few threads before you make up w/ her.

Do you have any ideas the costs associated with such an arrangement? The would, of course, be the initial, umm, investment. Followed by compensation for lost wages due to carrying the baby to term. Medical care and nutrition, possibly housing, unless you live in some socialist utopia that provides all that. Of course delivery and all associated expenses. Then there's the expense of a child for 18 years or so. I'm sure you'll figure it all out though.

Cool, I have minions AND a legacy now! But, yeah, bring it on! I can take it.

No different than all the other single parents in the world who raise their children alone.

Umm, I am completely offended on a bunch of different levels.

Im actually like a returning vet, Im not really a familiar person from the early years of Massassi, Im more familiar on the JKHub.net. I did create this in 2004-2005, but it did not get released until 2007:

I wasnt to proud of that project, but Project Nar is like a recreation of this except better. Then I created this afterwards in 2006:

http://www.jkhub.net/project/show.php?projid=368

which is my first multiplayer level and my first experiment of 16-bit textures. Then I started Project Nar Shaddaa in spring of 2007, and is almost complete, that is if I will get the damn thing finished and quit messing around.

Solution: Sell the dog, buy an asian wife.

Yeah, but I presume most of them don't have a year's worth of hooker expenses as I clearly outlined above. Hooker income, maybe, but not expenses.

Something told me long time ago to request a transfer from Germany to South Korea, when I was stationed in a Army Garrison outside of Frankfurt Germany, but I heard that duty in South Korea was s****y. I enjoyed service in Germany, but I wish that German women behaved like Asian Women. German ladies can be sexually open, but can also have an attitude. like this (:argh:) .

Well I think your taking it to literal, but I would want to be in a position to financially cover the whole deal because I think that's only fair. And I really wouldn't want a hooker to be the mother of my child, ew..

This is pretty much how I feel right now.

Surprised no one has suggested this - have you considered therapy/counseling? I know you're not to thrilled with her, but it's obvious there's more going on here than meets the eye. A few sessions might at least get that out into the open, then maybe you still both want the divorce but at least you have better reasons and not "i didn't want a damn dog." :p

Either way - s***ty times dude. :/

Im contemplating right now about that, and I think that counseling would be the best solution for me. I was actually the one that sparked this whole situation. There is more than just the damn dog that started all this, our house is facing foreclosure, both of our incomes have been reduced and our debts wont go away.

Welcome to the 21st century

It's been suggested at least twice already, I believe.
