Damn its been a long time for me but i left with agreeing to leave her the house till the kids got out of school and took my tools (sold the cherry picker and the engine hoist and air compressor heading down the road to my old mans house) And I kept my 29 ford c-dan hot rod that i eventually sold for a down payment on this place.. She got me for 1/2 of my profit sharing at the last day before the divorce but back then i reasoned about 2500 bucks was cheap to get rid of her fat azz 
.. I met another girl married her and although I dont have a job right now she is still a keeper. we will celebrate 20 years in december.. Tell your buddy to hang in there . It gets better.. I only wish the guy i moved in with had a harley for me to ride .. He still works where i got layed off from and hasnt even called me to see how im doing 
.. friends can be over rated !

Thanks Gents.
He's going to make it just fine. He's the kinda guy who can fight the world and win for a woman, but never had to fight just for himself. He'll learn quick to fight for himself once he gets a taste of the winnings.
Gals like to see a man stand back up and shrug it off, then duck his head and come out swinging. He'll learn that secret and never be lonely again....I'll get him to put his dukes up, then let him taste how it feels to win.
You know gents, I watch men fight over women, but seldom do I see any who know to simply wait their turn for them. Those gals like his tend go around-and get passed around. They are a moving target that don't rate your aim, but eventually fall into your hands anyway, then once you are thru with them you wonder why you were attracted, and you willing pass them off to the next "winner".
Oh yeah, he'll be ok once he tastes better.

You're a good friend Oinker.
I went through it 11 years ago - lost everything. I've been fighting all those years to be a father to my daughter and still fighting. It's getting close to turning around for us finally.
I had a great support system in family and friends.
My buddy went through it 3 years ago and I was a big player in his support system.
Made sure I was available 24 -7 for that support. It was rough for him - but like me he is waaay ahead of the game since learning to move on.
I wouldn't wish divorce on my worst enemy! That being said - I think it was the point in my life where I finally learned who the f*&k I am, and once a man hit's the bottom - there's no where to go but up.
Good luck to your friend. I heard it a thousand times while going through it (all the while thinking no way) It will get better!

One more thing - that head start she has on him - nearly impossible to catch up to, let alone get ahead of!

Sad story aside, there is nothing I respect more than a man's marriage.
I would never temp any man away from being the best husband and father he can be. My boys club ain't recruiting new members, we just pick up the pieces and help reassemble them and let them reenter the marriage thang all they want. Some finally drop out for good, some make a go of it.
I've lost three coworkers to suicide. One killed his wife first. They were all going thru divorce. So I decided to step up and make sure my friends know I'm here and I've been there.
Thanks.....It's an honor to be in the company of other survivors like me. You can believe many who sit a Hog today bought it due to same experience......I know I did.....My scoots and my riding friends saved my life.
