I wonder what causes people who once thought they’d spend their life together to not want to do that anymore.

Has your partner change? Or did they not change when you expected them to? Have you changed?

Have you not noticed each others’ flaws when love was young and the pink glasses still worked and only discovered them later?

And what can your experience teach us about our own relationships?

    My wife started fucking a coworker she supervised, another woman, so she had me arrested, lied to the police and child services, then send my terminally ill mother to the hospital to die so she could move the lover into my house, emptied my bank account, maxed out my credit card, stole my work computers, posesiones, most belongings, and truck, Then blocked me from seeing my child, one I raised as a stay at home dad while she worked/fucked around. I am $18k in debt, with a bullshit arrest record and sleeping in my car.

    Do I win?

        One day she got drunk coming home and decided she was going to change the baby. I was worry she was going to drop her again from the changing table so I pushed her hands away from her and she freaked out, grabbed the naked baby and shut herself in the bathroom. I called the police and her friends to get her out. A friend came over and the three of them stayed in the bedroom for 4 hours until the police arrived and they found her with mysterious scratches on her back so I got arrested. The charges were then dismissed as they were bullshit but the arrest record still shows up in background checks.

          My ex wife made a claim that I hit her. She thought it would help her win the divorce.

          Officially I have to check the box on forms saying yes I have in fact EVER been charged with domestic violence.

          I’m the only person involved with a memory of the event she made up, because I have to maintain records of it and charges being dropped and everything. For work.

          Investigators ask me, I have to say yes. I describe the situation and what happened and they give me the side eye “yeah sure ok, wife beater” and then my ex-wife doesn’t even remember the situation.

          The good news is I have sole custody of our child. A judge saw the real of it when it mattered.
