The love was never mutual.

"She never loved me. She married me because she thought it would force her to develop feelings. Waste of time."

We had different ideas about what family means.

Wife lied to me about her family plans. Partially about having kids, mostly about building our own family. Her definition of 'our family' puts her mother at the head of the table.

She changed the minute she became a wife.

Her personality changed dramatically from the person I was dating. Stereotypical changes when we got married — way less [intimacy] and more entitlement.

She became needy and depressed.

Her dad became terminally ill around the time we got married and she never recovered after his death, despite my best efforts to get her medicated and into therapy.

She wasn't "the one."

I regret that I married the wrong woman, that I was immature and naive and too eager to find a woman vs. waiting to find the right woman.

Nothing made her happy.

She thought buying a house with me would make her happy. It didn’t. I sold it alone and at a $10,000 loss.

She had a hardcore drug addiction.

She was a compulsive liar and coke-head. If you don't do drugs, it's hard to pick up on the tell-tale signs. My friends knew, my associates knew, her family knew, everybody knew but me.

We were too young.

The first time, I was too young (23), got into it way too fast, and didn't pump the brakes when I knew it was headed off the rails.

Marriage means saying good bye to your free time.

The worst part is the loss of free time to play video games or do what I want. The second worst part was that I gave up my job to try out her family business
