    My Mrs has been volunteering to help out at the Tsunami hit area of Japan (she being Japanese), she has been twice now. She just flew out again yesterday for another 3 months to carry on helping. The one thing she forget to tell me until just before she left is that she has met someone out there and she is getting married in 2 weeks. They have known each other for ~3 months. We have had been together for only 12 years. As you can imagine it was a bit of a shock for me. Not to mention her daughters who are staying over here in the UK. But I would like to wish her all the best and happiness. I have to be realistic about the situation. Our relationship had been on the rocks for a long time. All I have to say is "All the single ladies look out!", I may one day get the courage to speak to one of you again. :suss:

        I would do the same, namely I would wish another Tsunami hitting straight her face. Have a :beer:, it might help.

            So sorry to hear that Roger. Almost exactly the same thing happened to me last year except our marriage was not "on the rocks". At least as far as I knew. Take care of yourself and focus on you.

                Although I can understand your sentiment, I have never been one to hold a grudge. People have to live their own lives and ours were heading different directions when this turn of events occurred. I would try the beer, except I have been teetotal my whole life (Don't tell DD or Nagy).

                  Bummer, but perhaps going home to Japan reawakened her cultural belongings and the new chap cemented the feelings. I find a night out with the guys and small lake of gin helps. Then go out and get yourself a new squeeze, perhaps someone younger and slimmer who you can send a photograph of to your soon to be ex!

                      Wish you posted this in the SoapBox - all I can say in The Lounge is I saw it happen to one of my friends. I think ladies who fail to communicate things of this magnitude are no ladies at all. More like Elephants. And Sunshine.

                          Does it just seem like - or have you been half way out of the relationship too? Looks to me a bit like you didn't see it coming but are also feeling kind of relieved.

                            I would say it happened for good Roger. Your relationship had been on the rocks, so either you should have worked on mending it or expected this to happen. The one thing that hurts is that she chose to not tell you until she boarded the plane. :rose:

                              Slightly tired. I didn't get to bed last night and only managed two hours on the plane. I am shattered. I may well imbibe a glass of ale tonight to aid relaxation and Morpheus's grip. :-D

                                I knew the relationship was strained. But I wasn't expecting her to have found someone else. In a way I am slightly releived in others not so. But then, who can be 100% happy about a situation?

                                  Well, she told me the day before actually. So she didn't leave it to the last minute. Although any time in the previous 4 weeks she could have said something....

                                    I have been asked if I worry about Mrs Wife's eye straying, and she about me. For both of us being apart is very difficult - harder for her as she has two terror-tots [well 6 & 9 but still terrors] to deal with. We'll have been married 11 years in May and every day I thank her in some way fro being my wife. She does the same and most nights we talk via Skype as we go to bed. I can't see how we could stray to be honest. :-D

                                      My Mrs has been volunteering to help out at the Tsunami hit area of Japan (she being Japanese), she has been twice now. She just flew out again yesterday for another 3 months to carry on helping. The one thing she forget to tell me until just before she left is that she has met someone out there and she is getting married in 2 weeks. They have known each other for ~3 months. We have had been together for only 12 years. As you can imagine it was a bit of a shock for me. Not to mention her daughters who are staying over here in the UK. But I would like to wish her all the best and happiness. I have to be realistic about the situation. Our relationship had been on the rocks for a long time. All I have to say is "All the single ladies look out!", I may one day get the courage to speak to one of you again. :suss:

                                      The story - heard that one before - I am just giving you 5 for candour.

                                        All I can say Roger, is that is completely Elephanted. From memory things were not going well in her life when she shacked up with you and that you helped raise her kids. Even when the girl(s) gave you extreme grief, you stayed calm and continued to help bring them up as decent people. I hope the girls stay civil and in contact with you. I know you stay calm, I don't. I hope she gets completely Sharapova'd, I'm off to Canberra Zoo in a few minutes to see if I can get an Elephant volunteer that doesn't mind a quick swim to Japan. Not sure if you remember, but many, many years ago I invited you to fly down here to Australia (at your own cost) so you could sit an interview for me (I could search for the email and therefore the link to the post, but I can't be arsed). Not sounding like such a stupid idea now is it Roger.

                                          Sorry to hear that man! I went through that a few years ago and I know how painful it can be. I assume you meant the ex-Mrs since she can't legally marry in two weeks unless you're exes? :rose:
