Tonight has been a rough night for me. My wife left me because I'm a "racist".

As someone who has been through a crazy, devastating divorce, just do your best to get her back without compromising who you are. Don't compromise your beliefs and values just to appease her, or else you'll end up losing yourself and will resent her later for doing so. It's quite possible that this is just an excuse to get out of the marriage, sadly to say. I can attest that I threw everything I had into saving my marriage, even to the point of being willing to give up my relationship with my daughter (from a previous relationship) and being a doormat. That's the main thing I regret is stooping to that low just to try and be with someone who clearly didn't want to be married to me. Again, this could likely just be an excuse to do something she already wanted to do. Do not, I repeat, do not compromise yourself or your values just to win her back over because if she doesn't want you for being you, then you're just going to be busy hopping from one foot to the other just to keep her happy, and that shit will eat you alive. The only thing that kept me going was my faith in God and relying on His word and guidance to get me through it all. If you have some good, godly friends to surround yourself with, do that as often as possible, and keep in contact with your family. Give it time, stay patient, stay close to God, and pray she comes to her senses. It's not easy. It's downright devastating, but trust me, YOU CAN AND WILL OVERCOME THIS!! If there's any way other way that I can help, just let me know. We're here for you man!
