Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.

Comment preview: This is your life bro. Don't let her take it from you. Her leaving is the best thing that could have happened to you. My wife of 7 years was having an affair for 3 of them and I had a really hard time thinking of myself as a 'stud' and a 'man' after hearin ....


Comment preview: My address from six years ago is on there. The address itself was compromised and closed right around the time the AM account was apparently created (and verified), but I was also going through a divorce at the time while living alone and drinking to black ....


Comment preview: As much as I'd like to cheer this news, and part of me does, it's too little too late. My mother left my dad, despite his willingness to forgive her adultery, because she wanted to "be free". She left all of us kids well in her rearview mirror as well. ....


Comment preview: I get your point. My point is that she actually IS slandering you on Facebook. (Meth head? Really?) http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title34/ar15/ch1.html The reality is, anytime you want to take her to court over this, you legally can. *IANAL so chec ....


Comment preview: FWIW ten years ago this month I got divorced. Lowest point of my life for me. Felt super-depressed, thought I'd never get over it, thought my life was ruined. Now I'm happily remarried, my first child is 11 months old, I own my own house for the first ti ....


Comment preview: Apparently her ex-husband was "boring", so she fucked someone else's husband on a whim and got pregnant with his kid. She did not tell her now ex-husband it was someone else's child until after the child was born. Ex-husband is now happily remarried and ....


Comment preview: Sexism is rampant. My co-worker won custody of his daughters when he divorced. He later filed for wage garnishment on his ex when she failed to pay child support. When the garnishment was granted by the court and then processed, the county workers just ass ....


Comment preview: We had irreconcilable differences. He lives in the future, I live at the present. He wants to get richer and richer and be remembered by all. So one day, I said, "Guess what, I know you want more things in life; but all I have is me, this life that I have ....


Comment preview: Ok, so I have a friend who went through this. Her husband was downloading (A LOT OF) CP and looking at it on his work computer. He was caught, sentenced and went to jail for 6 months. It took her a while to process it, frankly. At first, she did just what ....


Comment preview: My initial thought while was reading this was "Jeez, grow up", but I realize that isn't helpful... Anyway. The problems in your life don't seem to have anything to do with your husband, and everything to do with yourself. Divorce him, and you lose a lovin ....


Comment preview: Take a bit of advice from an old man who has been divorced, very very happily re-married and widowed, and very very happily remarried again. In your beautiful post you say >>He enlightened me and told me the only way to find love is to not run from i ....


Comment preview: About six years into my first marriage when her drug use was getting out of hand. We had dated for almost two years before I joined the Navy. We were engaged right before I left for boot camp and were married shortly after I started my follow-on training s ....


Comment preview: Your mother sounds very similar to mine. My brother got married young and his wife was one of those girls that always had a smile on her face that never changed. She was very distant to my brother and refused to have children even though they had talked a ....


Comment preview: Agreed, and giving her the passwords will definitely not fix that. To the OP, all that giving the passwords will do is feed her distrust, cause you to like her less, and set up an asymmetric relationship where she is the warden and you are the prisoner. It ....


Comment preview: This is actually uncanny to read, since change the ages by a few years and this is almost precisely what happened to my family when I was 12 years old. In a nutshell, my mother had an affair with my best friend since birth's father, who was also my Dad's b ....


Comment preview: I agree with this advice. Another thing is this: >That devastates me. I can't believe I'm thinking divorce after less than a year of marriage. I feel like such a failure. I went through this when I was 24-25. I got married too young to the wrong person ....


Comment preview: Not from America, Chinese-Australian. When my family first came over we were insanely poor and obvs. not eligible for an iota of assistance. So poor that my parents (who are now fairly wealthy) laugh at those left wing human interest stories that tries to ....


Comment preview: I took him back because we'd had a really good marriage, and because he handled it the best possible way a cheater can. He did not ever suggest that I'd done anything to drive him to cheat on me, and took full responsibility. He said he'd made a terrible m ....


Comment preview: I had suspected that she had been cheating on me for quite some time. Selfies on her phone from an old college friend with no shirt on, spread out on the bed. Selfies of herself in sheer nighties posted to MySpace (yeah, this was a while ago). Phone car ....
