If marriage is a problem, get a divorce

Character: 40-year-old male. Height 1.77m, weights 76kg.

My wife is my best friend

I don’t know how it happened, it just happened. As I got more stressed from my work, the gap kept getting bigger. She too is always afraid of her boss. We lost a baby once too because of this. The boss does not understand what it is like to be a woman or the risks of miscarriage if asked to undertake certain tasks.

Now we are divorced. Do I regret it? Honestly, no. We still get together occasionally. We still sleep together sometimes. After all she is the mother of my children. My allowance to her of Rm7 000 a month helps her a lot. She doesn’t need to work. It helps her family too. But she still works.

I now have a lot of time on my hands. Sometimes I enjoy the freedom of doing anything I want but sometimes, it is hard to find company. It is no longer fun to sleep around knowing that nobody cares or that there is no risk involved. Ladies especially paid ones are the same most of the time. They follow a certain script. It gets boring after a while.

They try to milk me of as much as they can while they are still favorites. Other than the fixed rates, they will ask for gifts, jewelry etc. They will try to make themselves indispensable, sms me and ask for dates, money for a holiday and more money. It gets boring being a cash cow all the time. I do not blame them as they see me as the cash cow of the season. They know attention span is short. They try to get as much as they can while the attraction is still there.

It gets tiring having to perform almost every day. I spend lots of money on special supplements. In the meantime, I exercise and do all sorts to please them in bed. Most of the time, when I am too tired, they just try to please me. Sometimes, I just want to be left alone. I believe sleeping with younger people will keep me young

It gives me a thrill to have friends look at me with envy when I keep changing girls. I don’t worry about my family. My wife is still my best friend.

Look! To understand my actions, you have to understand my philosophy in life. Cut and excise whatever festers. If marriage is a problem, divorce is an option. If a business fails, fold up and start another. If a friend is too much trouble, find another. Simple, isn’t it?

    well, if that’s the case, divorce rate will shoot up…

    divorce sometimes is not necessarily a bad thingy

    Well, the divorce rate (at least in the US) did go up, but Justin Wolfers and his wife managed to prove empirically that marriages are more stable than ever.

    Marriage might bring happier life, but I agree with you, “if marriage is a problem, get a divorce”.

    sometimes it is best to make a clean break

    I’m sorry for the feller. He will end up a lonely man when he is old and realise his follies.

    only time will tell

    how can we say divorce just like that?
    if you planned to marry, then there must be something worth holding on to right?
    so i don’t agree to that statement.
    if there’s a problem, resolve it.
    or else, don’t get married at all.

    when money is not a problem,there are less problems in life

    I dunno whether divorce could really solve the problem, I always think of children, they are the one who gets hurt the most….

    so far so good

    not knowing the full picture i might be wrong, but it seems he gets on well with his wife. (the sex is at least good enough for them to carry on with it after divorce haha) so it looks like they got divorced simply because his wife cannot stand him having sex with other women. What if the wife lets him, after all , in the end he comes back to her right? so let him have his fling, and maybe she canhave hers too or even have threesomes, wouldn’t that make them both realise it is worthwhile to keep the marriage? no need to get divorced. then he can enjoy his affairs. like he said, affairs are no fun when there is no one to return to. haha. he is very generous to give his ex wife Rm7000 a month. It looks like the wife got the best deal. haha. she is now free tosleep around and still get so much money. ‘it gets tiring to perform everyday’. when u r straight, u really have to perform and get a hard on. i can well imagine it is tiring.haha. even with viagra!!!

    nolah Sibu women do not sleep around :)

    Say is easy, but is difficult when comes to do it. There are other aspects to consider like children, etc.

    there are children and they are taken care of by the in laws

  9. Jasmine on 4 October, 2007

    wow.. xiao.. I only see the 7000RM .. hahaha Like Anthony said, his wife got the best deal!

    Maybe after divorce, both of them do not have expectation on each other thus they can get along better. It’s not surprise if they get back together one day.

    that is a possibility although most unlikely

    When they divorce the next generation would bear the consequences mostly..

    for this particular case, it is already done :(

    I found that relationship among people no matter friends, family, partner, husband-wife become more fragile nowadays.

    That’s why alot of people enjoy to be single.

    it is the trend nowadays to remain single

    We probably don’t understand him but putting myself in his ex-wife’s shoes, I will not sleep with him for I may contract some disease from his promiscuity. The money will continue to come to me not because I want it but it is his responsibility as a father to see that his children are cared for.

    both parties seem comfortable with the situation

  13. KwangErn on 5 October, 2007

    When the children start to think and notice certain things, issues may sprout.

    So, character, morality and integrity just dropped a notch. In time to come, it’ll be like the West. Oh what fun…and joy…if there is any. :)

    children sometimes mature faster than we give them credit for

  14. wuching on 5 October, 2007

    u have influential friends

  15. KwangErn on 6 October, 2007

    Too bad maturity doesn’t necessarily determine one’s character, morality, and integrity.

    Which comes to one thing though, how do you define “maturity”? ;)

    in my definition maturity is thinking beyond the range of thinking ability for their age…able to rise up above a situation and think beyond one’s immediate needs..oh my goodness..i jus made that up hahaah but that is my definition but never before put into words

  16. KwangErn on 6 October, 2007

    OK, then the next question is, what kinds of thoughts are so-called “correct” or “right”? Or rather, how does one think? ;)

    A person can come up to another and say, “Oh yea, I think alot.” But that person always make foolish mistakes and/or think about negative and/or destructive things. A good example are criminals, they think alot.

    That said, my definition of maturity has only one word, wisdom.

    well said..the road to wisdom is a long one..everyone is on a long journey to reach that status..give them time :)
