NOM

Thanks for sharing this. I will say that the Phoenix lunch group has been a big help in my struggle through this process; if for no other reason than to know I'm not alone.

I have a severe case of car love issues. My avatar is the Stig...look him up. Will you remain the Stig or will you evolve into whatever is represented in The Grand Tour? I'll remain the Stig. Top Gear may have gotten custody of him in the divorce, but he's iconic at this point. I suspect The Grand ...

Still can't.

I was formerly known as "Jelph" on the other NOM.

I lurked on MDB.

Communication is so tricky . . . I often write these scripts in my head and when the actual conversation doesn't follow the script (because the other person doesn't know what I'm trying to communicate or what I hope for from them as a response) it can be really distressing and confusing to both of ...

It's a little unclear who brought up divorce from the OP. Did you bring it up as a way out for her? If so, her cold response may be from feeling rejection/shock. I hope this doesn't sound dismissive of your feelings just trying to piece together what you wrote. It reads as if maybe she brought it u...

I have a 2PM meeting in Mesa, tomorrow. So, I could come that way, if it works better for you. Let's meet at Famous Dave's along Dobson Road just south of the 202 in the Mesa Riverview area. It's right by the Bass Pro Shop. Date: Wednesday, October 26 Time: 12:00 noon Location: 1011 N Dobson Rd, Me...

Hey, Stig. Is your first name "The"? I wonder if your wife's concerns might have something to do with some of your behaviors. Do you still catch fish with your tongue and roam around the woods at night foraging for wolves? Or maybe she's tired of your breath smelling of magnesium and the fact that ...

That's really hard. I was thinking of a lot of "D" words that I hoped you were talking about. This included ordering Dessert, visiting the Dentist, and possibly voting Democrat. But divorce is automatically one of the worst topics. I think we need commiseration over drinks. What days are you availa...

Unfortunately you're not alone. I've had the same conversations with my wife at 2:00 am only to be so exhausted and so overwhelmed that you can't make any progress forward. You agree to disagree. The resentment seeps in so deep you become less and less emotionally intimate and you enter into the an...

So, my disaffection took root almost six years ago. When I came clean with my wife a few months later, I told her I would keep it to myself, not try to influence the kids away from how we agreed to raise them in the first place, not go public with my disaffection relative to our ward and neighbors. ...

Two things make NOM special for me:

1 - It reminds me I'm not alone, both in faith loss and in trying to keep my marriage together.

2 - I've met several great people IRL through this board.

I'd also like to try to get back out to the Phx lunches; it's been a while. Weekdays are best for me, as well.

Where in the world have you been? Glad to see you here. We need to catch up!

Yeah, life has been...interesting over the past few months.

Best thing about this last conference - I managed to avoid almost all of it.

Glad to have the new site!
