Marriage and the Power of Divorce

Put my foot down and banned sister in-law and her shitty abusive kid from our house (link to earlier post about this), and don't even want to spend any time around them. So much so, that two months passed and I still felt the same. Then wife and I plan a trip to the mall with our girls to see Santa. Right before heading to the mall...

Me: Where is your sister?

Wife: Oh, she's coming to the mall.

Me: Do you remember when you asked me this morning if I want to go to dinner with your sister and her kids? I told you no thank you.

Wife: You can't keep me from seeing my sister!

Me: I'm not doing that, I'm not letting them in our house because her son somehow always injures one of our girls. You can go see her at her house if you want, and you have. If that shithead kid hurts our girls outside of our home, then we will have something serious to talk about.

Wife: So you're choosing to not spend time with our children because of my sister?

Me: You know how I felt and what my response would be. You're trying to keep me from spending time with OUR children. You're choosing your sister over me.

Wife: All the girls do is talk about seeing Auntie. You can't keep them from seeing her either! It's been two months, you two need to get over your shit.

And it just devolved from there. I've put up with a lot of her shit, this was literally the straw that broke the camels back. I didn't talk to her for a few days until she pressed the issue, ended up telling her I want a divorce. Good luck with your Sister, I'm sure she will take care of you better than I did.

And I can go on and on, actually I have already written something up that I probably won't send to her because it won't make a difference. See attached text file if you're interested.


The Power of Divorce is fucking invigorating. I feel like me again.

If you think your side of the story as you have presented it paints you in a good/righteous light, guess again.

Well, I mean, I might take that back if it's otherwise ok. If the main problem is your nephew is a dick and his mother coddles him and your wife wants to see her sister... it's a problem. But it's a problem that could be corrected by beating the nephew thoroughly enough that he's straight afraid of you.

And yeah, your wife and her sister might even call the cops on you for doing it. But if it makes him behave around your daughters...

Of course not like I know you or your wife or the situation.

I'd think so, but sometimes the shit can get insane.

I've got an aunt that coddled a wolf. My cousin, when he was young, would hit people with a fucking hammer. Not a plastic hammer, a regular carpentry hammer. And she coddled him. That shit was NUTS.

He tried it one time and my grandfather was around (not the mothers father, the related by marriage grandfather). That grandfather was not a violent man at all... but he yanked a knot in that boy so quick and so thoroughly that my cousin would actively hide from him.

It really could be entirely fucked up. My uncle ended up divorcing my aunt over that boy and the way she coddled him. He immediately got better. The stress of living with it was literally driving him blind because of his blood pressure.

That cousin signed up when he was 18. They actually straightened him out. He's still got a mean streak, but he's generally an alright guy now.

Honestly, rereading everything you sound like a fucking dipshit mouthbreather whose kids will be better off with out you.

I don't agree with Oblio much but... seriously. It's that easy for you to disavow your own marriage? What the fuck is wrong with you? And it's ME saying that.

Oblio said:

That is because you have below average intelligence. You don't like me because you wish you had what I have. Get fucked, with your bullshit offhand comment. I can run circles around you in every facet of life.

I think he's drunk or something. He crawled up my ass in the MMA thread out of nowhere for not disavowing someone I'd never even heard of before because he apparently has a conviction for beating a girlfriend or wife or something.

Not that he's wrong about the way that shit from mcdj22 comes across, but he's seriously not firing on all cylinders tonight.

Oblio confirmed mcdj22 alt. Amod can we get a little cleanup in the grownup forums please?

Alright but... the story you posted here doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of something that would push a man to those lengths.... reasonably. And keep in mind I am an expert at cutting and running.

Did you download and read the text attachment he included with his initial post? It's...something alright.

Oh, I thought that was just a bad link on a gif.
