My wife and I were married for 10 years before we got a divorce.
Things were pretty good for the first couple of years.
Both of us were working full-time and we hardly saw each other except at night. When my wife mentioned having a family, I put on the brakes. I told her that I was not ready to make that step. I think that was when the problems in our relationship began. She did not expect to hear that I was not ready for children. She never got over that and it was easily the beginning of the end. We started to argue about the craziest things. Sometimes it seemed like we were arguing just so we had something to discuss. There came a time when my wife and I got into an argument about the heating and air conditioning system. I absolutely like that the temperatures are cold in the house. My wife never had a problem with the indoor temperatures until we started fighting about everything in our relationship. I finally had enough and I told her that it was time for one of us to leave the house. I would have happily been the person to go, but she decided to go back to her parents house. Now that my wife is gone and moved out, I can do whatever I want with the air conditioning system. I can turn the thermostat all the way down to 68 degrees and I don’t have to hear anyone complain. It feels lonely and cold sometimes, but I’m still happier without her.
