“After my business failed, I had to take a job in another city to get back on my feet. Living away from her for several months, I was the happiest I’d been in years.”

I'm a Senior Staff Writer who writes a wide range of topics, spanning from people's real-life drama to pop culture to funny things I find on the internet.

"I went home after lunch and immediately booted her out the door and gave her until the end of that day to get her stuff out of my house. She could see how angry I was, and she tried to deny what she had done, but I wasn’t buying it for even one second. She realized that she had fucked up royally. We were divorced within three months, and I told her that I never wanted to see her ever again. It was the best, most satisfying move that I’ve ever made. I’ve been the happiest I’ve ever been since that time."

"His expression said, 'So this is what you were talking about with her other side.' He rescheduled his next appointment and kept us there for two hours as she spewed forth a stream of negativity. She tried to patch things up when we got home and promised to do better. That effort didn’t last two weeks before she went back to her old self, and I was done. Twelve years later, I’m married to a wonderful woman, and our relationship is so different than before. We never fight. We have never raised our voices against each other, not once. I didn’t know a marriage could be this amazing."
