Well, I have not been on this forum much lately for many different reasons, but I think it is safe to say I will be keeping the car and the wife too. I really do thank so many of you with the encouragement and even those who I did not even know PM me to help me through the hardest stretch of my life so far. Things are not perfect, but things are better than they have ever been so I will see you guys around. Thank you all.

Marriage is not easy - I'm on my 3rd and It has been 26 years.
Always ups and downs, some arguing, sometimes more arguing. Our problem is we both retired early and spend 24/7 together for past 18 years. "Hi sis"
Love seems to be the glue that holds things together.
CAn;t live with them/Can't live without them.

Divorces suck for everyone involved. Hope you find a way to keep it if that is what you truly want.

great news!!! Was in a similar situation about 4 years ago but both had to go. The car because somehow a lawn fertilizer spreader happened to make contact with every body panel on the car...the wife because she was really good at swinging a fertilizer spreader.....glad thats behind me sold the 997.1 S, went into a Panamera for a bit and now i am back with a 997.2 4GTS Cab. Life is good.

@doclouie - great to hear things turned out well.

@Fisher7508 - I'm sure it wasn't at the time, but your description of that event is simply hilarious

Glad to hear it. What doesn't kill you (figuratively speaking of course) makes you stronger!
