husband with boat being traded in for boyfriend with cottage?

my wife has told me that she loves another. she's decided her current husband (me) with a boat (that she suggested i buy) no longer meets her needs. what she really wants is a guy with a cottage.

is it right for me to feel like a piece of property that is being traded in on a new model with different options?

what is the difference in market value between the guy with boat vs the one with cottage? who do you pay the money too to cover the difference in value?

just looking for answers in life (yes I know this is actuallythe Marriage and Divorce section, not the Life section)

Happy Friday

Update:

hi slim, sorry, but deadly serious. she told me this on Feb. 16th, Saturday of Ontario's first ever FAMILY day long weekend.

Update 2:

hi ndnqt1966,

fire bombing the cottage has crossed my mind. makes a god fantasy, but the prison term that goes with arson seems like a high price to pay.

then again......

Update 3:

hi torridfeline,

until Feb 15th i would have bet eveyting i owned that she was with me because she loved me. on the 16th things changed a bit. an additional detail is i inherited $200k back in '06. money was used to pay off mortgage, debts, buy 2 vehicles, top up retirement funds, take trips, etc. looks like when the money ran out, so did her love. then again, i won't leave my home and the kids and neither will she. seems like we have a bit of a stand off.

finally, i was brought up to always see the best in people and that marriage is forever. i was unaware that she wasn't satisfied with things until she dropped the bomb. strangely enough, because i try to focus on the good things in her,i still love her. (i know, i'm the world's doormat).

    If it makes you feel better I think men with boats are sexier . Her lose .

    I hope you are on the level. Excuse me if I say this is the craziest thing I have ever heard. Even worse than what my ex did to me which I won't go into. Surely there were warning signs that she was that kind of human being. You just can't hide this kind of insanity. Anyway, I would do anything I could to not give her any part of the boat, even go in to the gray area of the law.

    Back to your question. You can't take the cottage to lake and look at girls in bikinis. You are ahead in value my friend.

    She's a trashy gold digger. Hop into your beautiful boat and sail off into the sunset never looking back. Just know that, that guy with the cottage she will leave him too for something bigger and better. The sooner you get rid of her the better off you will be.

    In binary options you will have the possibility to predict the movement of various assets such as stocks, currency pairs, commodities and indices. Learn how you can make money trading binary options https://tr.im/8lcIz

    An option has only two outcomes (hence the name “binary” options). This is because the value of an asset can only go up or down during a given time frame. Your task will be to predict if the value of an asset with either go up or down during a certain amount of time.

  • Grumpy in the past few months (at least it seems it) I think I have felt more in common with your situation then anyone. I know I'm only 34 and based on your length of marriage I'm guessing you are in your 50's? Anyway, man, every time you post something it tears me up. I too found out that my wife didn't love me and loved someone else. They are not, at least as I know, activily involved with eachother but just knowing that she didn't love me for 6 of the almost 7 years is still an utter shock. I often felt like a piece of property. I felt as if I was just a means for her to stay home and do nothing with our young kids and my stepchild was completely disrespectful of me and my position in the house.

    As much as it hurts, I know that you feel like a car or something.... being traded in. There is nothing wrong with how you feel Grumpy and I would be livid (and was) about the whole situation.

    More about me....

    Prior to all the **** hitting the fan (meaning be deciding on the divorce), I lost my job. She was supportive of it for about 24 hours. Didn't even hug me just said 'oh it will be alright.' Then a day later she was being mean and freaking out about the whole thing. Then I decided to turn my part-time business into full-time she was supportive of that for about 24 hours too... maybe 48. Then the **** hit the fan and my ability to work went to hell and then my business went down the tubes! I went from about 140k a year to nothing, she cleaned out the bank then I had to borrow money from my own parents! At 34 that was not a good thing. I found myself going to a frigging food pantry for food last week because I didn't even have peanut butter for my kids. Now that my business is gone, I had to clean out my office and close it up. I did that a few days ago and it brought everything back since that's where the **** hit the fan... just the smell of the place brought tears. It could have been something great!

    With all that, my wife (STBE) wants me to pay HER bills too! She moved out (you know 'emotional stress'), rented a house and she is looking for work since she was a stay at home mom. She then has the gaul the other day to say "I really don't want to have to send the kids to daycare." You know what I wanted to say? We would't have to do that if you were not such a bad wife, not loving me, and loving someone else, not being supportive when I needed it, had sex with me more then 2 times a year... I mean I can go on but you get the point.

    Anyway Grumpy, if you pray, please do. It's not to say that it's going to become as it was, but you have to get out of the funk. I assure you that you deserve to be loved man. You truly do deserve to be loved. Just get out as quick as you can giving her as little as possible so she will have to live with that decision that she made.

    I have to say, your wife may be a whore

    but she is making a sound investment decision as a guy with a boat will depreciate

    but a guy with land can only appreciate in value.

    Your wife sounds like a gold digger. Those type women are never satisfied and are always looking to trade up. Send her and her shovel on their way.

    Sail off in the boat. Refuse to let her ride along.

    Damn! Sure hope you didn't name the boat after her....LOL...your boat will be worth more if the cottage "accidentally" burns to the ground...and the dumb *** doesn't have insurance....

    I think you need to deepen your question... what kind of person is your wife?

    Is she with you for money or love?

    If she is with you for money, move on.

    If you know in you heart that she truly loves you, maybe she just feels lost. Maybe she is figuring out who she is and what her real wants and desires are.

    Who are we (us yahoo answer givers) to say that she is a gold-digger? This is for him to decide.
