charlieboy Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Well I have had some chats and PM's with some great members here after going through some rough times. I guess it's ok to talk about real quick with everyone. My partner of 15 years and wife of 13 left me a little over a month ago. I have not been alone since I was 19 and I met her when I was 20. It was out of the blue for me. I never cheated, lied or any other of the BS with her and took marriage very serious and told her I loved her every day. She just said she did not feel the same for me. We have 3 kids. 2 of them stayed with me and the youngest age 9 went with her. Our youngest child is a "special needs" child so she really has no choice I guess. I still love my wife and i think she is a great mom but I'm just starting to realize I have to move on. Anyway I just want to say thanks to some of the guys here "You know who you are" for the positive PM's and such. Ps Tonight will be the first night in over a month I wil try to fire up the tubes and horns for a listen! Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt1stcav Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Man, I can't even imagine what you're going through, and I feel especially sorry for your two children with you. But as the saying goes, "Life goes on". Doubt that helps much, but I suppose if there's no chance of reconciliation that you do need to eventually move on. At least you have your children (hope you can still see your youngest) and your lives together, so that's a good start. Good luck to you and yours... And continue to enjoy your system!

dkp Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I think it probably hurts the worst when it's out of the blue like that. You certainly have my sympathy, charlieboy. I'm also pretty sure that it will take a while for the majority of the pain to subside, so keep hanging out here and talking to the forum gang and we'll try to see you through the darkest portion. Thanks for the post on my daughter's website, by the way. Much appreciated. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlieboy Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Thanks everyone. I am happy to say I get to see my youngest as much as I'm able with no problems. That usually means a little here and there during the week and having her the weekend as well. Thanks again everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlieboy Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 David, Can you pm on your daughters situation we have not talked in a while. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Charlieboy, You've got one rugged situation. I'm sorry to hear it, but glad you have posted. You've got support and caring in this place. Keep hanging in there bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Charlieboy, You having some of your children with you will help. You will get the routine worked out in time. Surround yourself with a couple of friends you really trust. Thinking of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Cornell Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I put aside my situation, and put a new engine in my truck. After what I went through 2 months later its still hard, it will never be easy. Reagrds Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlieboy Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hey bud, I actually fired up the tubes and those Heresy's last night for the first time since I saw you and picked them up.:-) Thanks again. Wish I could get that other set from you. If you change your mind let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 I wish you the best Charlie. Life throws curve balls at you sometimes but you'll get through it. Keep your chin up and give the kids lots of hugs. I'm sure they need them as much as you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlieboy Posted May 3, 2006 Author Share Posted May 3, 2006 It means a lot everyone. Believe me A LOT! I'm staying busy as hell right now as I know myself best and that's what I need right now. I'm looking at the positive side of evryting I possibly can. I sold off some extra gear and some duplicate records and raised a nice chunk of change for some grass in my front yard and some new furnishings for inside the house to brighten things up a bit. Thanks again everyone! Speaking of keeping busy here's what 4 hours and 2,500 sq ft of grass finally looked like. Now I need curbs around it. Oh well I got lot's of time!

jorjen Posted May 3, 2006 Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hey Charles, I know I have not spoken to you since late January or early February, I had no idea. Man, I am really sorry to hear about what you are going through. It is the hardest when it comes out of left field like this. Been through it myself. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I am glad you have the two kids with you, I know that helps alot. Listen, we are almost neighbors, we are only a little over an hour apart. If you ever want to get together and talk Klipsch and/or anything else to take your mind off things for awhile, just say the word and we will make it happen. I believe you have my phone number. How old are the kids? My son John is twelve and a great kid(I think St. Patrick would vouch for that[]), I am sure they could find something to do together.

Olorin Posted May 4, 2006 Share Posted May 4, 2006 Hey bud, I actually fired up the tubes and those Heresy's last night for the first time since I saw you and picked them up.:-) Thanks again. Wish I could get that other set from you. If you change your mind let me know! Nice! I hope they do everything you want them to do. As for the other set, they've got huge sentimental value. I think I can't let those go, but if I see or hear of anything near us I'll shout at you. Crank up Rush's "Limelight" for me on those Heresys of yours. That was always their favorite song. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlieboy Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Thanks guy's. Jorden. That sounds like a plan sometime. That's a nice offer we may have to make happen. Olorin. I'm gonna play some Rush tonight to make the Heresy's feel at home. LOL! Thanks again everyone. Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
