Dude, I feel for you. While neither my ex-wife nor I lied or were deceitful in any way she was very verbally abusive. I remember the feeling when I left her, the weight was off my shoulders and I enjoyed my alone time. I was able to rediscover myself, feel renewed, and pursue another relationship. In some ways I miss the ex and in others I am still thankful I got out of there. Good luck bro.

She never cheated on me i don't think i left her enough energy for that, but she just was becoming verbally abusive and started to shift the blame on me for everything. I'm the type of guy who will admit his mistakes and try to rectify things, but she would just throw it all one me. It was getting to the point of fights every week and we would make up and the cycle just kept repeating. I did anything possible to make this girl happy, but she didn't want to change and i have respect for myself and know there ar plenty of women out there who appreciate men like us!

pistolita LOL yeah well i guess it's going to be a cold winter for me this year. Oh well, shit happens and it maybe it happened for a reason. I wasn't really happy with it i wanted something real out of all the chaos. Right now i'm going back to school to finish my degree and i'm interviewing for a much better position outside my company. I need time to focus, but i definitely miss the cuddling, talking, traveling and sex lol.

Good for you! It sucks that it ended that way but trust me, there are women out there that want to be treated like a queen while they do everything they can for her king.
