And That's Marriage Number Four - Down in Flames!

And That's Marriage Number Four - Down in Flames!


For those who've muddled through my previous entries, you're aware of how my ex-wife is the gift that gave and has kept on giving. From the manipulation, to the throwing of the ham, to the hell she put me through in our divorce, marrying hubby number four, and the piece de resistance, becoming a wedding officiant. I thought that she was done, hoped she was done because I genuinely hold no ill will toward her and want her to be happy, because she's got more than her fair share of demons to contend with. But I was optimistic because she and Number Four have been together for ten years, a new record for her. I thought of her the other day and wondered if she'd finally gotten it together.

Then today, my father called to inform me that Number Four's mother reached out to him. Apparently, the marriage is on its last leg and circling the drain, and NF wanted to know what divorce attorney I'd used. I can only speculate that my ex complained about how much of a bastard the guy was, hence his desire to go with the same formula. My attorney has no love lost for my ex, partially because she was trash talking him to his (unbeknownst to her) at a cocktail party. Oops... Maybe he'll offer a discount; she is a repeat defendant after all.

I feel for the guy, because everyone who knows him has nothing but praise for how kind and goodhearted he is. But as I've noted before, you have to be pretty naive and more than a little dense to sign up to be Number Four in the first place. Poor guy is about to enter a living hell, when he asks for a divorce and no one deserves that. I'm hoping to connect with him before he pulls the trigger, so he can at least be a little prepared for the firestorm that's about to engulf him.

All part of life's rich pageant, my friends. Thankfully, I'm not on the stage as one of the players, this time. Someone please pass the popcorn?

Maybe if she accepted that its ok to have sex and not be in a exclusive relationship but play the field and enjoy sex , like most men are ALLOWED to do in this society.... there's not really any names to call a male who fucks around with multiple partners... but if a female does it..the world calls her a whore.... if she's on her 4th marriage because she cant be in an open relationship because of the world views her has a whore/or sinful if you go to church and the like.... then that's a shame. Sexual freedom is great and nothing to be ashamed of. I have the most respect for someone who'd upfront and honest, and doesnt hide their selves away for fear of what other people think of them. But i will say this.... if you were her 3rd marriage, knowing already she had 2 failed marriage under her belt... why did you think you'd be different being #3? Why not have just lived with her and had an open relationship?? . remember it takes two to make or break a marriage... You can always tell alot about the maturity level of a person by how they talk about there ex's. jmo
I am legally married but legally seperated. Got my golden ticket from the ex hubby on 10-31-2016. and that day was the happiest day since before I met him....... i do not find exclusive relationships to ever be happy for MY soul and wellbeing. I will never get married again nor am i tracking him down to legally end it....he knows where to find me if AND when he wants/needs to marry someone else...

and btw... dear sir.. everyone has their own demons and battles they fight... alot of people with mental illness out there in the world dont have what the doctors have told them ... Complex-PTSD.... will show up as many different "mental illnesses" when they are not a chemical imbalance of the brain but a fucked up wiring of the mind and no man-made medicine will fix it... only rewiring of the brain can one get better and become whole again or at least make it become managable to live with. Its a day by day step by step process... and fuck no it's never easy... but its worth it when one can put their mind to rest and feel not so damaged by life.

if people learn to be kind and understanding in today's world.. how much nicer would we all be?

peace

Just to be clear, there was no infidelity involved in any of her failed relationships and no desire to be with others. But if that's your banner for the day, have at it.

I get the feeling you find me to be insensitive about the situation. If you read some of my older entries, you'll find I was quite supportive of her, begging her to reconcile so we could face her challenges as a team. She essentially told me to pound sand, so I'm safeties free when it comes to her.

Mea culpa on signing up to be hubby number three. I was naive, ready to get married, and she had conjured up some solid narratives on how she was blameless for the first two failures. Solid narratives I later discovered were nothing but fiction.

I have just 'happened' onto your blog, by way of your commenting on mine... (Thank you very much, by the way.).
I must say, you are truly a breath of fresh air! I enjoy the way you write..... the time you take to insert every detail. I am, not only impressed, but plan to become a 'watcher'.
I look forward to learning more about you, and the way in which you describe the specific situations.
Stay safe, and I wish you positivity and wellness.

Four? Wasn’t once enough? Where can I read about the ham toss episode?

She has a lot of underlying issues, associated with BPD.
