Going through a divorce right now. Not fun at all. After 29 years together she decides she wants no part of me anymore. Oh well still have my 04 and she can't touch it. Damn female midlife crises. She wants to be twenty again. I wish her luck.

Sorry to hear you're going through that. I went through one about 8 years ago and believe me, there is definitely life after divorce. Mine got a lot better and the new wonderful wife I have even likes vettes! Best of luck my friend and keep smiling.

Thank you for the encouraging words. This is by far the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. She has been my best friend and wife and we did everything together. Did many road trips together in the vette and had a ball. But with me turning sixty next month, I am getting to old for all this crap. But I know I will get through this and life goes on.

I encourage you get on with your life. I know it's not easy, all I did for a year was work, go home and sit in a recliner and sleep. Don't waste your life away. Other than the divorce itself, the one thing I had the hardest time with was going to a restaurant by myself. But it was part of the process that got me going again.
Life will be different but that doesn't mean it has to be bad. The time you spend looking back is also time you are wasting that you could be looking to the future. At this point which is more important? Look at the rest of your life as a new adventure!

Man this forum is great. One of things that I do to take my mind off of this crap is to come here and spend some time. Also driving the vette always puts a smile on my face. Now to try to rid of the money sucking lawyers and get on with things. Thanks guys.

Welcome back! Glad to see your FRC survived the fray. I see you live in Victoria. I drove through there last week. I lived in Port Lavaca 56 years ago when I was 3. My Dad was there helping build the Alcoa plant at Point Comfort. I was in San Antonio and just felt a need to go through there on my way to Galveston. If you happened to see a yellow ragtop roll through your town last Tuesday.....it might have been me.

Congrats are in order whether you realize it these days or not. Better to be divorced and happy then married and miserable. Keep your chin up there's plenty of young fun beautiful women to pal around with out there. Personally I'll never get married again! That's for dang sure 
Sure why buy the cow & all the bitchin, complaining, no not tonight hun I have a headache

Enough of my self pity. Forgot to say welcome back to the fold. These cars are great and this forum is totally the best. Have learned so much here about both the 96 and the 04. Wish you well.

I'm married 32 years so I can't say anything from experience... However, three of my best friends have been divorced in the last two years and once the dust from the land mines settled all three are happy campers. (My wife is terrified when we get together!)
Hang in there, there's plenty of support here.

My beautiful daughter just got divorced last year after ten years with an idiot. I tried to tell her before she married him he was a no good, lazy son of a bleep and it turned out that I was proven correct! It's not always the woman who leaves. DW and I tried to lead by example. We just celebrated our 40th anniversary June 3rd.
