For the divorced posters, at what point did you realize it wasn't going to work? I'm close to a point where it's not worth fighting for because nothing has changed. It's just hard to admit that I need to give up.

---

There is always a eureka moment. Fight hard for your marriage. Hit counseling, etc. All divorces are different but if you get to the point where you are doing all the heavy lifting and your spouse is checked out that could be a sign.

---

How does counseling work? Never been to one and don't know anyone who has (or will admit to). Indians generally are apprehensive about it. My issue is my wife does not appreciate what I bring to the table and is constantly complaining and comparing. There are a few other Indian ladies around in our area who keep talking about their fancy vacations and awesome lives and that leaves my wife feeling bad when she has everything she needs. A lot of it thanks to my efforts.

---

Tell your wife to stop hanging out with Indian people and move away from sugarland or whatever Indian-people enclave you're in to a place where mostly white-trashy people live. Your wife will get to be the one bragging all the time instead of feeling jealous.

When you visit their homes there will be less of a curry smell and more of an ash-tray / day-old booze smell.

Sounds like you aren't getting it done. You should work harder and spend less time on texags.

---

What will working harder do?
I am well into 6 figures a year in my own salary and I make about 3/4 million a year in my portfolio. But I don't believe in wasting money to keep up with the Joneses which is the issue at hand.

I am hardly on Texags, I just indulge when I get some free time.

I don't live in Houston or even TX for that matter, but yes, we are in an upscale neighborhood where Indians are slowly becoming a majority. Older white people downsize and leave and younger Indians come in. But it's not these people who are the problem. It is the ones who show off.

White trash folks have their own issues. I don't want my kids to be ruined hanging around their kids. I have plans to send them to Stanford or Berkeley, not the local community college or trade school.

I was born in Texas and lived there for many years. It's good but there are other good places too. If I get a great offer from Austin or Dallas, I may move.

So is divorce

I will say this: going through it strengthened my faith in Christ. After the person I was closer to than any other human turned her back on me and walked away, I knew I could rely on someone who would never do that. Sometimes He was all I had. And that's more than enough.

Start saving some money each month into a separate account that your wife doesn't know about now while you still have time.

I've been divorced about 14 years. There were two young kids involved. The first two years were tough-lots of snarky comments from the ex and I lost several friends that I considered close. With kids it's rough because you kind of relive it when you see the ex when you pick up the kids. It just doesn't end.

But after a few years we reached a mutual understanding and became effective co-parents. During parent/teacher meetings we are usually mistaken as married. We both dedicated ourselves to putting the kids first. Have things worked out perfectly? No. But we use a lot of humor (yay! Two Christmas'!) to ease the tough times.

i believe you used to claim that this was only a problem with white women, and indian women didn't have this issue. white women only care about money, and indian women aren't like that right? what happened?

---

What rubbish. All women are mostly the same with the same flaws and in similar ranges of BSC-ness.

Why are some of you so obsessed with Bombay? You're much more of an annoyance than he is at this point.
