Jesus man, are you going to start cutting yourself and writing shitty poetry? I don't mean to be a jerk, seriously, but you're getting awfully emo. Here's a newsflash for you ace, people do change. Relationships change. If there is no give and take, your relationship isn't going to last. If you mock her for her interests, how long should she have to put up with that? Would you stick around if she mocked the things that you find interesting? Again, I'm really not trying to be a dick here, but from everything you've written on this topic, it was all her fault. She didn't like things you wanted her to like. She liked things you didn't. She believed in stuff you didn't. Did you really think that she, or anyone else, would conform to your ideal and never deviate from it? If you are anything in real life like the online persona you present here, I imagine that there were aspects of your behavior she probably wasn't too fond of. Did you ever make any concessions? And when I say that, I mean before it was too late.

If you really can't understand why she's pissed off at you, maybe you need to take a long hard look at yourself, and be honest when you do it, because most of us that have been reading your posts for years have a pretty good idea about some of the reasons your marriage failed. Who knows, maybe in real life, you aren't like you portray yourself here. Maybe you're a super-sweet guy. Maybe you don't lash out with undue arrogance at anyone that dares treat your opinions as anything but gospel. But honestly, after all this time, I fear that's not the case. Either use this experience as a life-lesson and learn from it, and try to fix the things that broke your marriage, or set your sights lower and find the woman with the absolute lowest self-esteem you can, because no one else is going to put up with that garbage for long.

Yes. For the last 1.5 years I was supportive of all her beliefs, and even tried to go to moon circles with her, and read about shakras and stuff just to know what she was talking about. I said again and again that if it makes her happy, I support it.

When this conversation first started there was at least an understanding that you had put her last for too long, with job and studies coming first. That seems to have disappeared, with you now blaming the break-up on her changing.

That's not enough to compete with the size of her yoga teacher's willy.

I'm going to start to feel sad for the nice girl you're with now.

Make sure not to drift into depression. That's not a path to walk down easily.

Look dude, just go find a large-breasted floozy and bounce around on her until your bits hurt. A lot of the new is the only way you're going to get the old out of your system.

From the looks of the pictures he posted in his boat thread, he already has.

Not having trust in the person takes away a lot of the fun of it though.
