My wife did tell me something that i wanted to share.

She does not think we would have ever "worked out" as long as i played music. She says that its too much competition for my time, and too many young college age girls exposing themselves and even older females will flash the band during performances.

I gave up music to try and keep her 2 years ago, but it wasn't enough. I didn't go back to playing 'seriously' until i got the final break up text recently.

She sent me this video last night saying that it was her "sign" that forcing the breakup to an immediate split and move-out directive was the correct response:



Where previously, she told me to "remain married on paper" for as long as i need medical/dental/vision coverage, today she sent the folowing text:

"The divorce is crucial for my retirement, I don’t want it to hold me back. Get it done today and we can review it tonight and submit it tomorrow. Thanks."

She retires in December and, if filed today, won't be final until January 2024.
