Q: Wasted life time
asked by: Pabloxyz on October 19th, 2009

I am recently separated and she is filing for divorce after 20 years. I still do not know why she left. I have stopped asking because the answer is always different. When I ask about her different answers she gets very angry and says she is allowed to change her mind. The funny part is that she is not really all that attractive, and other women have always found me attractive. At 41 I look like I could be on the cover of Mens Health. I know it sounds very egotistical, but I have such a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that she really has never had any attraction for me and yet other women love being with me. Looking back I don't ever think she loved me. There is something about me that just brings out annoyance and anger. If we did not have the three boys together she would certainly have left and I would never hear from her again. The only thing that makes any sense is the money I used to make. We lived overseas for many years and traveled much of the world because of my job. I left my job because I could not longer deal with the feeling that my work was part of a larger picture that was hurting the lives of others. Of our three boys the youngest is with me, but two of the now really have no communication with me. I don't hear from them. And yet I do so much to make sure she is still part of the life of the son with with me. He is all I have now. I will I could erase her from my life. Because I know I mean nothing to her. I will end here because it would take a novel to write all that has happened. I wonder if true love really does exist or if it is just something that exists in books and movies.

you are in love with the idea of love and a little too egotistical for my taste..

It takes two to split and looks alone don't cover a relationship maybe half of it, therefore maybe you are lacking a personality...

Looks should not be the main topic at the moment...the bottom line is your wife has asked you for divorce...And you have the right to know why...you say she keeps giving you different answers to why, then maybe all these answers are a cover up for the real reason...I would ask her to tell you the truth so you have closure. As for her attractiveness, that shouldnt really come into it because you said the funny part is.....well i do not think something like this is funny and you seem to be more concerned about your ex-wife not being as attractive as you rather than being upset about your marriage ending...Dont get me wrong am not judging you in any way maybe you have done the upset part ....It was just the way your post was worded....and as for true love, they say that there is somebody out there for everyone and i believe that..Someone will come along who will love you for who you are...Good luck..Jenny

I absolutely concur about looks only being a small part of the relation ship. I guess part of my point with the physical attraction is that I was always attracted to her and showed it. She did seems to care about looks because I know she looked at other guys and also made comments to her friends. As for my personality, that could be the issue for her. Once again many other women liked everything about me. I guess I just need to face the fact that I was not her cup of tea. I am certainly far from perfect, I hope that I did not imply that in my original post. A good writer, I certainly am not..... : ) I would like an answer from her, but really feel that it will never happen. For me I really can't see and logical explanation other than the money, but logic doesn't always explain relationships. Thanks for your replies, they were helpful.

You want your validation, you want her to answer your question but it isn't going to happen, so you have many options the two majors ones are.. A: you can miserable and wait B: You can take initiative and move on, find a new hobby, throw yourself out there etc etc.

We all have people who like us, the difference is why brag about it? I don't find it attractive in the least, I'm not into men male/female alike) but even in friendships I find that mentality or simply the way it was stated to be repulsive.

If anything take a break, enjoy life *what it has to offer* and then maybe after a few months throw yourself back out in the world wide game. Life is way too short but even shorter for you as an individual, buy a bottle of wine and make yourself some spaghetti ^_^! Anywho not trying to be a hard@ss but there will always be someone out there who blows your mind, keep your head up!

my ex wasnt attracted to me but he fell in love with the kind of women iam. he let me know i wasnt his type every chance he got.

my current boyfriend treats me like im the most beautiful women in the world. comparing how they respond to me is like night and day.
so you could be drop dead gorgeous but the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
