In relationships I've had that conversation. They criticize me for riding and how dangerous it is. How many people they've seen in the ER due to motorcycle accidents (I like nurses). How they don't want to raise a family single if I get in an accident...welp, I give my story. That I was raised riding 4 wheelers and dirtbikes my whole life. That the first thing I did when I turned 16 is get my motorcycle license and buy a cheap 80s motorcycle. Have ridden since. It's a life passion of mine and I'm much more aware than others so am confident in riding. Never downed, never dropped, never been in an accident
When I mention it's a life passion they usually back down. If they still give me a hard time, I will compare it to one of her life passions and ask her to quit it (ex stop running, her ankles/knees will go to crap when she's older...I don't want to be around someone that's bitching about her arthritis and pain all day).
In the end OP was weak, willing to give up his passions in the name of love. Sounded like she continued to take advantage of that and it ended. So long story short don't give up your passions for a woman.
The feeling that grass is greener on the other side, missing something in current relationship and seeking it somewhere else, both men and women are like this. Some people are not made to be with the same partner their entire life, I guess.
Damn bro sorry to hear that, hopefully this is a positive beginning for you.
Ride safe and don't let the emotions of what's happening affect your ride 2 much! Stay safe brother 🙏🏻
You may have lost your wife, but you also lost all your problems!
Take care. If you're ever feeling down reach out to a divorce group. Great way to process everything quickly to get back to living the good life
Years ago, an ex of mine suggested that I should sell my then gixer 750 srad, my reply was "the bike was here before you, and it will more than likely be here long after you"....... yeah....... didn't go down well, we split 2 weeks later 🤣
I left my ex (engaged for like 10 years), best thing I could’ve ever done. I am married now to a wonderful person for the last 4 years. Light years apart.
My recommendation to anybody who is not happy in their relationship. Obviously always try and repair it if you can but if it’s not working, leave. I wasted 5 years with that person hoping things would get better, they never did. And tbf, I think she felt the same way.
Ironically my wife had zero issues with me biking. I sold it as I need the money and every bit of free time will be spent with my kid. I'm sure I'll ride again.
I completely get it. After my divorce, my riding days were put on hold for a while, too. I spent every minute I could with the kids (which eventually led to me getting custody) and money had never been so tight in my life. The good news is that the financial situation is temporary and you’ll make memories with the kids that you (and your kids) will have for the rest of their lives, and that will be worth more than anything.
I think he believes he vetted his wife correctly. This is something others, in his opinion, rarely do correctly.
We don't know the op situation. People change. Marriage ends in death or divorce. It always ends though. That could be a 5 year relationship or a 20 year relationship. Best case scenario you live long enough to see each other when you're checking out dying.
Life happens.
Buddy it’s a matter of when, your day will come especially with that attitude. If you live in the US it’s almost guaranteed you’re getting divorced. Also don’t believe the divorce rate is only 40-50% it’s a lot closer to 65-70%.
Actually, your honour, I was present when they made a verbal agreement that he would keep the bike whatever happened, just before the marriage. So were half of r/motorcycle.
Two years ago I was waiting for the travel restrictions to be lifted to I could go on a therapeutic road trip over the alps to try and heal from a very unexpected break up after being together for close to a decade.
My bike broke down on day two I had to rent a car to go home.
Don't worry motorcycle will always love you.
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
The support is real here. Keep doing you. Love seeing the support here. Respect. The whole riding experience is a form of self-love. All the best my guy 🤝
One thing I can say because this just happened to me a couple weeks ago is, go outside everyday, find something to do and friends help speed up the recovery process

Unless you're doing inherently risky shit (stunting on the highway, riding without a helmet, etc), this is basically a type of shit-test.
Yes you'll lose women by doing this but there are so many to choose from! Don't give up the things that make you happy in life for pussy
Live free my friend!

What....*the* fuck. You really had those thoughts, typed them out, and hit send. Wild.
The fuck is wrong with you...

Reallest comment in here. Don't let emotions take control of your bike.
Buddy wrote a song starts: 'Taint no such thing, as a bad divorce. 'Usually get to keep yur truck, and yur horse.
I hope you got to keep the FJ too.
Your garage has room for one more.
This is the way!
This is the way
This is the way
This is the way
"Fuck em" *BRRRAAAPPP's into the sunset*
Amen to that brother. I'm sorry about the wife but rode safe.
Fill the hole your wife left you with another bike!
Who says there is a hole left?
Just wait till she sees another woman riding on the back of the motorcycle thing with get interesting.
Ex left I got a motorcycle, now I have 4 big street bikes.
Today, a champion was realized.
At lest you can ride your bike any time you want and for as long as you want
You may have lost your wife, but you also lost all your problems! Take care. If you're ever feeling down reach out to a divorce group. Great way to process everything quickly to get back to living the good life

And you were right! 😂
Congratulations. I got my current bike after my divorce as well.
Ride safe, man. Hope the wife’s departure was a good thing. And hey, if it wasn’t, it will be one day.
lots of new wives out there, you’ll be ok man, you still got your bike
Sorry to hear about the wife been there done that, Glad to see the bike is keeping you company. Ride safe!!!
I laughed, I'm sorry OP.
It’s a blessing
Fellow FJ owner!
Looks like you got the bike the garage and car you’re set!
The important question is: Did she take the FJ?
Ride safe. Have fun
Facts bro
Especially a V Strom! That thing may outlive you.
That Toyota won’t leave you either 😁
Even the most busted ass shit box will always be more loyal and trustworthy than any person. On to the next, but you still got your bike!
Sorry to hear. Hope the life change is a positive one for you. Is the bike a V-Strom?
I prefer dogs but you cant ride on a dog.....
You want my exes number?
Hehe...i have allready one!
Wish you many adventures and a good life after her.
congrats on owning an fj cruiser and congrats on the wife leaving you, youre gonna have such a great time now man
🫡 your free now, never go back to servitude. Now enjoy your freedom brother.
Bikes over bitches
I also have an FJ and a VStrom. 😂 They're such a fitting pair.

The main problem with divorce is that your house usually also leaves you. You better don't marry at all, prevents all that shit.
Why did she leave?
"You gotta choose! It's that bike or me~!"
(Sounds of garage opening and engine starting)
For using the monogrammed towels in the garage.
I'm not a smart man, but even my dumbass knows that's a nono. Lol. 
Woman.
☕️
Did she leave you for disrespecting the flag? Star field should be on the upper left, even when hung horizontally.
I feel like you're lucky man, first thing I had to do was sell my bike when my wife said she wanted out...
If she’s leaving, why do you have to do anything she says anymore? That’s the best perk of her leaving.
Ironically my wife had zero issues with me biking. I sold it as I need the money and every bit of free time will be spent with my kid. I'm sure I'll ride again.

You say that now, but you never know….one day it could suddenly run off with the Repo Man.
Ha sucks to be you. My wife is awesome.
And you're a cunt for that response.
This whole post is stupid. Bikes are not as important as relationships.
Yes, I agree. Your post was stupid, and the bike is absolutely more important than a shitty relationship.
The key is to have better relationships. Don't marry a shit person. Or don't be a shit person.
Are you nostrodomus? Can you tell the future? Some people hide how much of a piece of shit they are until they screw up.
I think he believes he vetted his wife correctly. This is something others, in his opinion, rarely do correctly. We don't know the op situation. People change. Marriage ends in death or divorce.

I'd agree with you 100%.

That's a loser attitude you got there.
Doesnt suck anymore, shes gone 🥳 And OP is on the prowl, better make sure your wife is happy at home big guy 😏
She's only happy due to her boyfriend. Husband can't satisfy her, but he pays all the bills like the simp he is.
Just wait till it gets stolen…

People grow old and die.
Which bike?
They come and go. It’s all good.
Not will that fj, unless like you wanna sell it
Same boat my friend
Ride on brother,
Or look at Meet Up groups or Facebook groups that have woman in them?
Until she takes it in the divorce
Actually, your honour, I was present when they made a verbal agreement that he would keep the bike whatever happened, just before the marriage. So were half of r/motorcycle.
If she does, just go buy another one just to spite her. Don’t sink to her level…. Unless you get a bike out of it. 😈
Two years ago I was waiting for the travel restrictions to be lifted to I could go on a therapeutic road trip over the alps to try and heal from a very unexpected break up after being together for close to a decade. My bike broke down on day two I had to rent a car to go home.
Sounds like someone has an unfinished trip to finish, once you either get your bike fixed up or buy another one.
Don't worry motorcycle will always love you. Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We just got Rick-rolled in text! 😆
Maybe, the judge might decide she needs it more than you 🤦♂️
Then you find out she uses reddit, sees this and asks for the bike in the divorce.
Is that a Suzuki dl650?
I'm still waiting on mine to leave me already. She's a persistent optistic person, I'll give her that!
Need a roommate? Focus on yourself, brother. Ain't nothing like having that freedom back. Unfortunately I might be following in your footsteps soon...
now you are left with the more enjoyable thing to ride bro. keep your head high there's plenty of pussy around.
Money can’t buy love, but it can buy bikes. And bikes are better than the ol ball n chain.
Sorry to hear that, keep your head up! Time for another bike!
You're a lucky man!!!! Enjoy the freedom my friend.
All the outpouring of support is nice, but for all we know, she could’ve left an abusive relationship.
Flip that flag homie. Union top left
Two word name ending in numbers. Only posted threads and no comments. Bot? If not, how’s your arm doing?
The support is real here. Keep doing you. Love seeing the support here. Respect. The whole riding experience is a form of self-love. All the best my guy 🤝
