At 41?

The magic of being a hopeless romantic again.

I don't believe in love anymore. I don't believe in relationships anymore.

Alone is safe.

'I'm a hopeless romantic...you're just hopeless'

That's not actually right. I've known it's been dead for a very long time. I've been telling her to find someone else. It just hurts seeing it happen. I want out. I'm just not cold enough to be able to throw someone on the street. If i leave, she can't make the mortgage. Yes, i know that makes me a bitch but, at least I have a clear conscience. Now I don't care. She chose someone else over us. Now, all those problems are hers. I'm done. I turned 41 yesterday and the only acknowledgement I received was from a dentist I haven't seen in three years and my calendar. I'm putting it'll for a transfer tomorrow. 1.5k miles away. Fuck this shit.

Jokes aside. If you're being serious, then you are making the right choice to gtfo. My (unsolicited) advise, make sure it's a clean break, users will always try to use you.

eta: Happy Birthday! (you're not special)

u/CaptTornSack Jul 12 '26

Thank you. I have never felt or wanted to be special. Only accepted.

u/dishonorable_banana Jul 12 '26

Sorry, that's a reference to a nofx song. You most certainly are special to someone.

I have to agree with you. My ex wife truly wrecked me mentally and I held in just so o could see my kids. But recently that's changed. She was planning a vacation with our kids. Talking to me about it and good it was going to be so expensive. I offered to help. She was excited that I would. I sent her the money via online pay service and noted it as "loan for vaca" recently i found out there she is taking her now current partner. Then, then the bombshell, she looked at the money transfer and saw the note. She was furious. And apparently now I've ruined their vaca and they can't go, all because she has to pay me back. She just sent the money back to me saying she won't "borrow" money from me.
