Yep, I hate to say it but after 13 years it comes to an end. On the positive side we are going to stay friends and in fact we get along better now than we did in the last six months, lol.
And don't worry, she ain't gonna cut my boys' hair!

John.B
Well I am glad that you two are still getting along well, even if not as a married couple, its better for the kids.

Hey man, at least like you say it's on good terms. Good luck to you both.

Hi Paul,
I am genuinely sorry to hear this, but relieved that you parted on an amiable note and remain good friends.
Take care,
David
Paul,
Glad to hear your divorce is not going to be such a "hairy" ordeal. Good luck for the future man!
peace, jonalbear
Hi Paul
I am so sorry to hear of this but at least in your case there is a positive side which is a good thing. So many end without this, and as painful as it all is, at least you two are mature enough to stay friends and leave communication open. This is the most healthy of all, and the best for your son.

Damn that sucks. Alteast you guys are staying good friends, especially since there are kids. I wish my parents stayed friends. They hate each other and my mom still tries to use me and my brother and sister to prove it.
Anyway, atleast you guys are still friends and its good to see you around here again.

sorry to hear that Paul, but you seem happier that it ended so you have my full support bro and it was awesome to meet you in person man!
I'm glad to hear it's an amicable split. Good luck to both of you.

I'm sorry to hear about this turn of events, but it's good that you both can still be friendly to one another. My wife parents divorved 35 years ago and there is still a lot of bitterness. Not a good way to live.
Bruce
Sorry to hear about your imminent divorce Paul. It is good that you can remain friends and the kids that you have will benefit greatly from that.

Paul, I am so sorry to hear this news. I was wondering why you had been so quiet on the board recently. Now I know (but am all the sadder about it all, now that you've revealed what's been going on)...
My brother and sister-in-law recently got divorced (after 25 years of marriage), -- and even though they remain friends, I'm still shocked that they actually divorced (I probably took the news harder than they even did). Also, I'm not sure if I ever mentioned this to you before; but when I was in my 20s, I was also married (yes, to a WOMAN no less - LOL).... We got married in '81; divorced in '87. But, I'm thankful to say, we parted friends (in fact, we're still in occasional contact via e-mail & sometimes even phone conversations). She's "a good egg!", as my mother used to say! We've only seen each other twice since divorce, though, because she lives in Toronto, Canada -- a hell of a long way to visit from where I live in California!
As an outsider, it's hard not to look at someone else's marriage and think that it's an "ideal" one. I was very heart-broken over my brother's divorce, for example; yet I remember it well how a few friends and family members were heart-broken after hearing about my own divorce. Only the two people involved in a relationship can ever be the ones to figure out whether a marriage is actually working well enough to stay together or not, -- so, those are the only two people who are permitted to judge it...
But, it is still sad news, -- even when under the best of circumstances. Please give my regards to Angel, as well as I hope for the very best for you as well.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Paul. Take care of yourself, mate.

I'm sorry to hear this news Paul. I went through it in 2006 myself. After a few months, my ex and I were able to take steps to re-establish a friendship which has been nice. I'm glad to hear that it looks like you'll be able to maintain that as well.
I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully things work out better this way. Good to hear your son's aren't getting haircuts still.
Mrs. KMG has a profile in the user directory here. She likes guys with long hair, so the boys should be safe from being scalped.
Mind you, this sort of reminds me of when a couple in our ham radio club who were both active hams got divorced. They both quit the club and were a bit hard to locate on the airwaves as well, and they were both well liked. Please don't go away, Paul.
Come to think of it, the husband of that couple of radio hams had long hair, although his wife's was barely touching her shoulders. He did in fact leave her for a woman with long hair, but frankly his ex-wife was much better looking, even with relatively short hair (!).
They seemed like a perfect couple, but you never know what's really going on. Their daughter took to chain eating chocolate and hiding the wrappers under the bed (it could be worse, I once had a housemate who hid empty booze bottles under her bed).
I never would have thought the way you two were flirting back in fourth on this site? well I hope things turn out for the best. here for you man if need to vent.
Mike
Thanks Mike, we did get along very well and we flirted in real life just the same as here but her old school buddies liked to flirt with her too. Lol.
Another Facebook tragedy!
