So, as some of you may remember, I got married a little over a year ago. Well, that didn't go too well. Despite my trying, my wife wants a divorce. I did just find out that she has been talking to another guy, which obviously helps me to fill in the blanks.
So, I need to get out in the woods. Who would like to plan a wintertime weekend gettaway here in Oregon?
 
That beyond sucks, man. If I lived close to you I'd take you out for a few days to drown your sorrows in the wilderness.

Good luck with all of it!
 
Hey KnifeGuy,

I second Kages sentiments, and you need to surround yourself with some close friends and family.

As per your plans for a getaway, I would be of little help seeing I'm not from your area and all.

Keep your head up brother.
 
I'm too far south to go out, otherwise I would. Sorry to hear about the B.S. I hope it all works out for the best. We've got your back :D
 
I'm sorry to hear that buddy, but hey, count your blessings and thank God it only took a year to find out, and not 10 years of your life.

One more thing, my father always said that "Once a dog starts chasing deer, they never stop, and that holds true for cheaters too". Just remember that.

I hope you get some good woods time to clear your head.
 
Wow that is beyond crappy, sorry to hear it. I am pretty new here and am Portland. Life is really busy at the moment so I doubt I can get away for a weekend but if you need to get out for a drink and are in town let me know!
 
I'm so sorry. When folks enter marriage, it rarely looks how they think it *should*. If it becomes truly broken, its for things they never planned on and they're left feeling completely "blind-sided". Sorry.

I hope you've access to a good support system (and access to excellent legal advice should it be needed).

Yea, straight away i'd say get outta "dodge" and do some bushcrafty stuff!!! Sitting close to/tending a fire is sooo therapeutic (and a great way to give some use to our tools!). Soak in the moments during prep/pre-spark and then make an awesome blaze! There isn't much quite like the sights/sounds/smells of a nice fire. I especially like the smell of campfire smoke on my clothes!!!

Get some RnR!!!
 
Keep your head up bro, there is more fish in the sea.

A nice walkabout will do you good.
 
Yeah that totally sucks man. I got divorced this year too. Already found another girl though. What can I say I move quick.:D I might be down for something but can't guarantee it. What do you have in mind?
 
I have a lot going on this time of year, but if I'm free what ever weekend you plan I could be up for a cold weather hike.
 
I'm halfway across the globe to make the trip. But hang in there and like Doc said surround yourself with close friends/family.
 
Yeah - that's a real shame mate and you have my condolences. I agree with everyone here about making sure you surround yourself with supportive people (this community included of course - we have your back).

As for an outing, I live in the Portland area and if anything gets set up, I might be up for it (schedule permitting of course). That all said, best of luck and hope things start looking up for you...
 
I am going through a divorce right now...we are in the beginning stages of this...I'm trying very hard not to let my husband bring out the worst in me.
I wish you strength and
I encourage you to keep your dignity.
 
I wish you both the best of luck. Splitting up is never easy, but one door closes and another soon opens.

If you want to head over to the right coast, I am sure we could get a big camp out together with a lot of good laughs to keep your mind off of it:thumbup:
 
Thank all of you for the encouragement... This has been a tough time and I go back and forth with emotions. All I can say, is thank God I have some good Doziers! At least I can cut shit well! I did some carving tonight, that was a great way to get my mind off things.
 
I know it is tough, since I am going through the same thing. Since I kept trying for 20+years, I will have to pay my wife support for the rest of her life. She is currently sleeping with someone else, but I have to pay.

In a few years, you will realize that your wife did you a favor by getting out early. Watch out for self centered women.
