Very sad day…..

[Bambooflyguy]

I take responsibility for ending 44+ years with my wife/soul mate Kerri as today we are getting divorced. Life happens, you never know what’s in store for us. One day at a time…. but we’re ok.

 

[goinoregon]

ouch. good luck with this . many of us have gone through this, at various points in life. i found therapy to be very helpful.

 

[Scott Salzer]

Very sorry to hear this.

Take care, my friend.

 

[BriGuy]

So sorry, Steve. Hang in there buddy.

 

[Paige]

Damn after 44yrs, sorry to hear!

I went through it in 2013, you'll be ok, and just think, it will give you more fishing time!

 

[Phil K]

That's rough. Take care of yourself!

 

[Bambooflyguy]

Thanks all for the kind words and support. Maybe it hasn’t fully sunk in yet, I’m just grateful our son is a grown man, still heartbreaking for everybody. I was really hoping for a second chance…….

That sounds like a hard time any way you cut it. Sorry. Keep taking it one day at a time!

 

[RCF]

So sorry you and Kerri are going through this.

When you wake up each morning, create/find something to be positive about that makes you feel better. Build on that too.

I’ve always had fishing time…..still do but no more beautiful wife..

 

[Kado]

Geez...thinking of you Steve.

 

[Bambooflyguy]

Thank you Mark……and to all, you’re family.

 

[Jim F.]

Prayers for both of you. As said previously by Phil, "Take care of yourself."

Steve, I'm so sorry to hear that. It's been over 50 years but I was also on the receiving end and still remember the feelings.
That said, 44 years is a tough one.
Best to you going forward.

 

[Buzzy]

Steve -
I'm very sorry to hear about you and Kerri. I can't imagine your feelings, especially after 44 years. Take care, and best wishes to you both during this very difficult time.

 

[Brute]

I'm sorry to hear this...hoping for the best for both of you. Whenever one chapter ends, a new one begins...

 

[Merle]

Sorry to hear that Steve. Hope things go as well as they possibly can from here forward.

 

[Greg Armstrong]

I’m sorry to hear this Steve. Lots of good advice given already, so I’ll just say stay strong and I wish the best for both of you.

Add me to the list of friends being sorry you're going through this. Life happens while we discover that we cannot control what another person does. Adaptability and resilience are your friends.

Well just like my 111 days sober and AA…..a new chapter begins. I was staying off alcohol for me, her and our future. Since that’s all changed, there’s no rhyme or reason for me not to drink…but even in more moderation. Everyone is some form of alcoholic, whether social or black out drunk. Knowing your limits is key. Now that I’m older there’s no reason to party hearty anymore. Even after the phone call yesterday, I said two shots of Crown for comfort and that’s all I had. This morning a little Baileys in my coffee……man I missed that! I’ll go day by day and see what the next day has in store for me. Once again, thanks to all for the support! I really appreciate you.
