Soooo....

My wife is leaving me. How do you really write about something like that? Its a situation I find myself ill equipped to deal with. I have no frame of reference, and I cant turn it into a sports analogy like the news pundits do because I know nothing about the wacky sports in this country.

I suppose I could write about how I "feel"

When she told me there was someone else I was (naturally) shocked

When I found out he was 19 and in Northern Ireland I was confused

When she bought an 800 dollar plane ticket to go see him I was angry

When she started talking to him on the voice chat while I was in the room I was sad

When I started talking to my friends about getting an apartment together I was excited

When I realized I would be able to make ex-wife jokes I considered a career as a stand up comedian.

I always try to look on the bright side of things, I suppose this means the world is my oyster.

I hate oysters.

The world is my taco.

Sorry to hear this news. I know you come out better on the other side. Good luck.

That sucks, but on the bright side, you have practically your whole life ahead of you! I saw that your profile says you're 25 years old. Take comfort in knowing that most guys are still out on the prowl at this age and now you are too. Use this experience to teach you something about who and what you are looking for in life. Best of luck.
