I can't even hate on her—-those brows are a cry for help:(

So many articles on good parenting lately!

I wish I could have simply sucked it yup and carried on. I was out of my mind when I discovered my ex-wife’s affair. She makes twice what I do, so the financial impacts are less for her, but I was able to keep the house.

Oh absolutely. I feel you so hard here. And hey—me too on the been with him since I was 21 deal. Been with him for pretty much my entire adult life. And we are also very close, which I think is what may have partially did us in. We moved to a new city and only had each other, and still do pretty much (not really any…

I ended my marriage for the reason that I didn’t love him, and life is too short to be with someone that isn’t right (and I wasn’t right for him- not being honest is lying by omission, and I still cared about him enough to not want to be in that kind of dishonesty).

My husband passed away when i was 39 from ALS. Our marriage wasnt the best and wasnt the worst either. But I will not lie and say I could be happier. I AM happier today, not because he died but because I realized that I can and have survived without him. This sounds cold but the things I was told during my marriage…

Seriously, as having gone through a divorce myself, it is physically hard and emotionally devastating. You get too upset to eat, the crying isn’t good. You may self isolate for a while. But also many women lose insurance coverage, particularly if the husband is the primary bread winner, so they don’t go to the doctor…

During the worst-possible breakup of a 30-year marriage—really, the details even now seem like something out of a very bad Lifetime movie—I started having feelings of pressure on my chest. Finally, after a few episodes, I went to the ER, had a battery of tests, and was diagnosed as experiencing severe stress. So no…

I grew up around a lot of really old people. Some of them had been married forever. Almost every woman I had known was a stay at home mom, a nurse, or teacher. But all of them were married. Not all of them were happy. Divorce was still a little scandalous. And once these ladies’ husbands died either through heart…

I had the break-up talk with my BF of 4.5 years a few weeks ago and even though we are currently not together, it has done wonders for our relationship.

Relationships are overrated, unless you happen to be in the lucky minority that has found a truly compatible mate. It has greatly simplified my life and reduced stress to see people when I choose to see them rather than have them up in my grill 24/7.

I hear you. Me and the bf need to have “the talk” and we just passed the 14 year mark. Everything sucks.

Fuck dude. I’m *thisclose* to having the break-up talk with my boyfriend of 11 years (yes, 11!), and I’m already stressed out.

I just saw him testifying on CNN and you can clearly tell he’s emotionally distraught over the whole thing, There’s no doubt he loved his wife and wasn’t trying to do anything to hurt her....and yet, dude, really? This whole thing is just so f’in sad.

My double major, but I am not nearly as badass as she is. I spent a summer in Russia, then said. Ok, then...what else can I do?

Holy shit, “colored”? Are you fucking kidding?

I was going to make a similar comment. “Wandering” has very specific connotations that are not at all evident in this story.

What charges could possibly be filed? They don’t have any legal obligation to stay in touch with family members or whoever.

From the story above, there doesn’t seem there was anything illegal done — it’s not a crime to go on vacation and turn off your phone and not log into Facebook, and Costello isn’t the one who called authorities, or gave anyone any false information — so not sure why your surprised that no charges are being filed.

“Wandering around” makes it sound like these two were out on the streets, weren’t they staying in a hotel? And the hotel clerk who “found” them is, well, the clerk there? This story is still weird, but this version makes it sounds a lot more nefarious.
