Not a cool thing to happen in your life....but remember...at least 50% of marriages end in divorce. You are not unique. Take the bike, head for some warmer climate, have a few coldies, check out some new 'stuff', and keep moving. Don't feel sorry for yourself, move on. *hit happens, buck it up! Best to you.

I agree with Bill 100%. I can speak from experience saying alot of us have gone through that. We are still here and life will go on. It is a natural desire to spend life with another. Just remember your personal happiness is as imprtant as anyone elses, if not more. So hang in there and just speak up if things get too bad, one of us will be here. Good luck!

Hang in there bud. Ive been there done that and it sucks. But like the guys are telling you, time heals all and it will pass and get better. The sound of a Harley is a great way to clear your head, just be safe, Rob.

There's not much more I can add to what the guys are saying. There are some good people on this forum, we all feel your pain. things always work out for the best, you will see. Just give it time. I garantee you'll eventually meet someone that will make your life better than it ever was in the past. Hang in there and ride! You know there are some of us that are locked in, for whatever reason, (maybe just plain lazyness) and can't get out of a relationship that is causing misery. Look at it this way; you're one of the lucky ones, you can paint on a NEW canvas and create anything you want!
