Hi, How is everyone?? I am at kind of a stand still these days, my wife of 10 years left me on saturday. It hurts. I know I am supposed to be talking about pulling here, but I have alot of friends here at YT. I feel like I am waiting for something, but what,, I don't know. I have always belived that she loved me. I guess I was wrong. I am having a very rough time with this situation. The more I hear about her, the more I get hurt. I know I am rambling, who wouldn't. Sorry to put this on here, need something positive to focus on, Need work. Painfully yours, ChadS

Sorry to hear of your situation, Chad! Been there, went through that. Every man should fall in love once so he can get it out of his system and get on with life! My children's mother is currently working on her 4th husband and I just purchased my 5th tractor! It'll take time, but it WILL get better. Don

Hi ChadS. Real sorry to hear about what happened. This is a tractor site, but a few of us have these issues time to time as well. I'll tell ya maybe why I do what I do. I'm probably a little younger than you and I can't imagine that happening after 10 years. I met the sweetest little thing and one thing led to another. Couldn't imagine how I got so lucky to have such a wonderful gal. One day she came to me and broke it off. Very unexpectedly. Makes ya wonder what all the good times were for and if it was all true or not, don't it?. I don't mean to cry in my beer, but I'll make a long story short. I had saved up quite a bit of money for a ring. I didn't know what to do and couldn't just move on so now I blew it on a Moline UB Diesel. It really didn't make anything better, but I always wanted one and it makes me feel just a little happy when the old thing fires up. (Now nicknamed "ring money") So now days to spend time outside of work, I buy, clean up, and sell any old yellow stuff just to pass time and keep my mind on track. I know you been through a lot Chad, but maybe just that little bit of therapy could get ya by. It does me until maybe a nice tractor pullin' gal comes my way needing a good ole' boy like me. Keep your chin up man. Remeber the good folks you know. They'll always be there.

Chad, I'm sorry to hear of your problems. Almost 11 years ago, I lost my first wife (of 14-1/2 years) to a heart attack at age 36...left me with two kids, 12 and 8. Even now, it still kinda hurts to talk about it, but maybe it'll help you cope with what you're going thru...'cause if I can make it, you can too. I'm no Superman...I just decided to live each day one at a time, and take whatever came at me and deal with it. Now, almost 11 years later, I'm remarried for 9 years, both my kids are grown, I own my first house, and paid off about $12,000 in medical bills from the first wife. Let me say this: anybody who tells you it's gonna be easy going on, on your own, is absolutely NUTS...but it CAN be done.

Life's short...live, laugh, love as if each day may be your last, 'cause one day you'll be right. If you've done somebody wrong, take the time to make it right...today, 'cause tomorrow may be too late. If somebody's done YOU wrong, search your soul and find a way to forgive them...'cause, assuming THEY'VE got a conscience, no use in BOTH of you bein' miserable.

And stay connected to your roots...tractors, in your case. In my case, I've got a '51 and a '52 International L-110 pickup (one's gonna be stock, the other's gonna be a rod, and either is gonna be set up to trailer my '44 Farmall H to the pulls when I get 'em all built); that's all the expensive psychotherapy I need (nobody said it'd be cheap...and they were RIGHT!).

Good luck...and email me if you need to talk to the opposite end of Indiana.

Chad sorry to hear about your trouble. I cant tell you much that will help other than a favorite saying of mine (women are like mailboxes,there on most every street and some of them have a flag up). The best way to get over a woman is to get another one. H.H.

ChadS It's a tuff way to go old guy, one never knows how things will work out. Keep on with your work and your friends . I keep a verse from Luke chapter 12 verse 20, seems it keeps me on track when the world comes in on me,try it, you might like it. Buford

I have been going through a mess for the past year,still not settled,I know it sucks a big one!
So,I can sympathize with your situation.
I use to work for a construction co and thier motto was "BOW UP". I often think of this when it seems I get a hard kick in the nards.You can apply it in everyday life.One of the reasons I tractor pull is to escape from the reality of my situation(the other is to beat my friends,haha)Nothing anyone says can help much. Just surround yourself with work,friends and things you enjoy and go on.TIME is the key!Or a chainsaw and brush chipper from the electric co-op,with the significant other inside!(hehe Im just kidding,trying to cheer you up.)
Hang in there,I always tell myself,Im not dead or in jail,so things are good!
And remember BOW UP!


Glad I took Pyscology in College(smile)

Chad the first time is always the hardest. But there is also always a bright side to everything. She is gone but she left you the tractors and with them it is easy to find another woman. Just my two cents worth. I have always felt that the only things I had that were not replacable were my Kenworth and my antique tractors. Guess that is why I am on my 3rd wife now. Tim

Dave, if the posters name is highlighted in blue above their post, it means that they posted an email address. Move your cursor to the highlighted name and the email address will be displayed down in the email bar of your screen. Whether or not it is a legitimate address is another story. Some folks like to post garbage under the email address, which defeats the whole point.

Chad, I am sorry to hear about what happened. I do understand what it feels like, as I was left by my first girlfriend after almost five years. I was with her from 15 to almost 20 and it is true when they say that "the first is always the hardest" I felt alone cold and lost. I could barely function. But, it made me stronger. I immersed myself in my hobbies of competitve shooting and fishing. I got more focused than ever, and I made a fresh start of life. It does not happen over night, but the time will come. You are welcome to come up here to SW Mich, the weather is cold and wet, but the beer is good, the fire is warm, and the salmon are running in the rivers.....It's a good time..... ..... AC
