Divorce is brutal in many ways, yet so very freeing in most other ways. Amber and I had been married for five years. The first three years were incredible. Then it just went to shit. We fought all the time. She became withdrawn except when angrily engaging or confronting me over little nit-picky bullshit. Every little fucking thing that went wrong became such a big deal that it consumed her for hours. She became more angry and bitter towards me because I was still functioning quite well in our normal daily life. She slept twice as much as usual. A complete bitch when her eyes were open. My patience was quickly vacating my being.
I tried to get her to recognize the change which always set off her defensive side and then she'd shut down but not before nastily unloading on me verbally first.
I tip-toed around on eggshells trying to help her for over a year. I would jokingly say maybe she needed therapy, a Rx or "maybe you just need a good fucking", all of which always instigated a fight. Each time I faintly suggested she seek professional help it set her off, so I learned to avoid giving my thoughts.
"I'm fine, she'd always scream! I don't need a doctor! I'm not depressed or crazy! You are!"
If she wasn't being such a cunt and she would actually engage me in any sexual activity, I would probably have had more tolerance with her. But with this change having lasted for over a year now and me not having touched my wife's vagina in about as long because of this change, I wanted out. I finally saw the writing on the wall and started to seriously consider divorcing her.
From my previous experiences, these sudden changes in attitude and behaviors have concluded me two things:
First, she's hooked on drugs, or second, withholding sex usually meant they're getting it elsewhere or they're about to walk outta your life.
She had nowhere to go, except maybe an Aunt or cousins, that I knew of, so I dismissed her leaving me. As she started to withdraw from our life, she had begun to slack on caring about her appearance. She wore no make up, stopped doing her hair and nails, wore hoodies and baggie clothes, things she normally wore on winter nights, were now worn 365, which completely overshadowed her natural beauty and rocking body. With her like this she wasn't oozing sexual attraction and in her state of mind, with her bitchy sour negative attitude I can't imagine anyone trying to break through those walls just to try to get in her pants. So what was going on? She wasn't the same woman I married.
I wanted away from her.
The night we met, Amber caught my eye immediately. Amber was wearing this summery outfit and her bare midriff, ass and legs caught my attention first. Then as I scanned her body up and down, I decided I wanted to try her. Amber is Latina, 10 years younger, stands 5'3", weighs 108lbs, athletic body with toned legs, flowing deep brown shoulder blade length hair, a 27 inch waist and full 34C cups. When I saw her eyes, I saw beauty. But her best attractive feature was the one thing that was killing our marriage: her attitude and personality. The more I got to know Amber, the more attractive she became. Hanging out with her was like talking with one of my boys, throwing back cold ones. She could dish it out and take it. She knew sports. She knew football, both pro and college and she actively played golf, my favorite sport. We gelled. I was addicted to her. A year later, we married.
The first few years together were fantastic. We laughed. We discussed our future. I wanted to provide her whatever she wanted. I was very happy and committed to her. We fucked regularly for years, at least 5x a week. Nothing kinky, just good hard passionate love making. Then it became less frequently and then it dried up and disappeared, all leading to this point.
The more she uttered out of her mouth, the more I started growing frustrated and began resenting her. She seemed angry and despite trying to have dozens of "talks", we perpetually argued. There was no physical touching anymore and fucking seemed outwardly taboo to her. Towards the end, despite becoming a cunt for a wife, I still wanted to fuck her tight 5'3", now 100lb. body and cum on her tits. But, again, she wasn't having it.
I really was in love with her at one point, not too long ago but I was reaching my limit of bullshit. If someone is moping around sad, bitching a lot, yelling at you, complains everyday, repeatedly... BUT NEVER DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT ... it all wore down my basic tolerance of having any compassion and it eroded any remaining empathy I had for her. I was on fumes in this marriage, but yet, I still felt I owed it to her to give our marriage one last chance to resurrect itself with a 100% last ditch effort on my part.
I decided to do it and to surprise her with a five day getaway to an exclusive resort in Mexico for the following week. I was hoping for a breakthrough and that Amber would come around. When I told her about the trip and my hope, she turned to me and with a snappy, bitchy attitude asked me, "Why? What's the FUCKING POINT?" and
in the same breath, she continued to answer her own question, irritatingly screeching her voice louder, saying "Because WE ARE THROUGH! This marriage IS OVER, YOU DON'T LOVE ME", she finished barking at me and stomped off. Of course, I predicted this charade and her pouty "poor me" antics. She and I have a totally different understanding on what "love" truly is, I'm realizing. Typically of late, these dramatic outbursts will take an hour or three before she'll come out of the bedroom to go to the bathroom or the kitchen, which both are in line of sight to the den where the main TV is on and I can see whenever she's come out of her black hole. But, shortly after her storming off I heard the front door open, then slam. I didn't expect her to leave. She's never done that before. I got up in time to see her dragging a duffel bag down the driveway and struggle to put it in a car waiting on the street. This was the first time she had ever left.
Maybe she is right, the marriage is over, which I already knew, but needed to accept, I thought to myself. Then I reasoned and summed it up that she was being a dramatic attention seeking queen expecting me to come running out to the street to stop the car. Back in the day with her, she would've been right. But not today. Instead of the usual thoughts that would've been in my head, like "who's fucking car is she getting in?" or me actually pulling the driver from the car and apply a beating on him, I felt relieved she was gone and now outta my sight. I went out to the back patio and smoked a joint. Fuck that bitch.
"I need better pussy, I said out loud, laughing stoned with myself. Pussy that listens. Fuck that bitch."
It had been two and a half days since she stormed off. I mean, no contact at all, no calls, no texts and I seriously only gave her a thought in the mornings while making my coffee. Overall, I was happier, less stressed, much more relaxed, not worried about her at all. I started feeling easier about things knowing I tried one final time with the trip in a few days to Mexico. Fuck her if she doesn't recognize my efforts, I thought.
Wanting even more distance from her and this situation to gain clarity, I decided to go to Mexico anyways. Being a guy that has not been fucking his wife, I went to Mexico very discreetly with a mutual friend of ours, named Kerri. That's a whole entire sexventure story for another time. So, when I returned from Mexico, I found Amber had returned to the house.
First words outta her mouth "Where the fuck have you been all week?"
"Mexico."
"You motherfucker," she screams and throws the first thing she grabs at me (a coffee mug). It wasn't even close to hitting me.
"Who went with you," she demanded? In the same breath, she continued "who was she? That coworker? You fucking pig!" she said, having concluded in her mind that was the truth.
I ducked a fork and spoon hurling my way.
"How could you, she asked? "You know how much I love you!" she says storming off down the hallway in her small, too tight shorts and wearing one of my wifebeaters, tied at her stomach.
As much as I wanted to hurt her by telling her I WAS actually with another woman in Mexico and brag about her pussy to my wife, I wasn't going to give her any ammunition knowing I was filing for divorce. But, I also wanted to protect Kerri and keep her name out of it, since I took her to Mexico, being as how she and my wife are friends.
Attempting to quickly diffuse the situation as she walked off, I lied to Amber telling her I went with my good buddy Clint. I offered her the phone to call the hotel to verify what I'm saying, knowing full well the hotel won't disclose that info over the phone. I was bluffing. She stopped walking away, turned towards me and shot me the double bird while yelling "Fuck you! I don't give a shit BECAUSE WE ARE THROUGH, MOTHERFUCKER!" To this day, Amber knows nothing about being replaced on that trip with Kerri.
