That’s my (awesome, gorgeous) wife and me (2018)

DISCLAIMER: This was a tough story to write. Most people won’t share marital problems, body/mental issues, or even their salary with anyone online and that makes sense, it’s private. I get it. For me, my story needs to get out there and hopefully it helps others who are in my same position.

To the five people that read this story, my situation is very different and since I’m being open about it, I ask that you please be kind in the comments. Thank you!

Where It All Began

Back in 2018, my ex-wife filed for divorce after a 12-year marriage.

In those 12 years, I was the sole breadwinner. We didn’t have kids, she didn’t have a job, she didn’t do much housework/cooking/cleaning, didn’t routinely take out our dog, and spent most of the day either sleeping, watching TV, or trying to become an actor.

With her acting lessons & weekly classes, spiritual stuff, and other ventures, I was paying $750/week so she could do whatever the hell she wanted.

I was young, inexperienced, and thought that’s what marriage was all about.

I have drive and passion for making money online and teaching others how to do the same! But, life got REALLY busy (good busy) and I don't write much anymore.
