I've been through a relatable situation Wes, and I'm sorry you had to go through a situation like that. I'm not sure why some people can't control themselves.
I enjoy story time with OLF. I enjoy all your very videos, especially the repair and maintenance videos. Been a mechanic most of my 55 years and I have picked up a couple tricks you've done that make jobs easier. Also like your tool and product reviews!
Came home from the family farm one evening to a card on the table,she left me for a co worker i had friended. Hardest part was telling my 9 year old daughter that we would not be getting back together.I had just started watching your channel right before this happened.Just wanted to say thank you again for sharing your family farm life with us all. You have bin an inspiration for me,and it helped me threw the rough times.That is why I am so happy to see you with Theresa! Your kids are all AWESOME!. Keep up the great work Wes,you are a great father.So God made a Farmer who could bale a family together with the strong bonds of love.
The terrace farming over there is amazing. My former wife was a part time caregiver for her Grandparents. She got hooked on their abundant supply pain/sleeping/hormone meds and it completely changed her personality. She lost 30 pounds and the Doctor she hooked up with paid for her plastic surgery. They traveled the world and then split up with her receiving a large settlement. You never know what you're going to get...
I've been watching your videos for years... I never comment but this one was touching.. Sorry for what you had to go through... Love your positive attitude.. Keep on keeping on
Thanks Wes for sharing your story. I can only imagine how you feel... my wife and I have been married for 53 years. May God bless you and keep on farming.
Good for you Wes! This is my first comment after watching you for the last two years. You've done a great job being a role model for your children. Teaching them to be tough but yet able to show love and have fun as a family. Keep up the awesome videos and happy holidays!!
@onelonleyfarmer I can totally relate to you. Ive been through these things too. Cheating husband etc.... i too still hurt deeply. I choose to be alone now, I think your life is beautiful, living on the land as a farmer, x
Thank you Wes for sharing this video and some personal things that you have been through, I recently stumbled upon this channel and I am hooked and have subscribed. I am not a farmer but through many of your video's that I have seen thus far I have learned a few things and find your video's informative, interesting, and yes funny at times. Although we here in RU-vid land don't really know you personally one can easily see that you are a good guy and a great man who works his butt off to provide for his family, and seem to be a very good father and husband, Looking forward to future video's
Really enjoyed hearing your story. I'm always fascinated to hear stories of people's live and their experiences. I don't want to listen to someone who is begging for pity or condemning others for not living as they want the rest of the world to do. Yours is a true, humble story and kudos to you for moving on. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks for sharing man, been through much as well, but even though its painful at the time it shapes us and makes us who we are today. Wishing you the best going forward and a prosperous year ahead.
thanks for sharing Wes. I've also been damaged by the evil ways of those that have the glorious warm hole between their legs and it's rough business. But as they say, the world keeps turning. Keep on keeping on brotha
Wes. My heart goes out to you along with my prayers. Trusting life gets better as the years go on. I sure do enjoy your video's as well as seeing and hearing about your family. Gota love Tim, he is a great kid. The rural life is the best life style for raising kids. I was raised that way. For what you have been through, you have come through a tuff season of you life, and seem to have handled it well. No one can say, "I know how you feel or I know what you are going through." The old saying goes, "Walk a mile in my shoes" Stay strong, my friend. You are a survivor!
thanks for the videos Wes. that's a very personal and a tragic thing you just shared with us. hopefully you're life with Terica is alot better. you both look happy around each other
Well done, not the easiest subject to put over, you done it very well and at the end of the day it has made you stronger as a person and also how immediate family pulls together in times of difficulty.
thank you for sharing this...you never really get closure on a situation like what you went through..the only thing you can do is just walk on and be the better person.
Thanks for uploading this, I had wondered why the lonley was so spelled but thought "why question it?". Now I know :) Hope things are going a lot better for you now, and I like the way you put it, that you know where you're headed in the end. That's about the most important thing for anyone in any walk of life I think, to know what you're doing is right for you. Keep your head up fella from Dan in Cheshire. (coming to this channel via the comments section of Chucke2009's vids lol)
Love your videos ! I grew up in upstate NY and worked on my uncles dairy farm as a kid, then again through high school until I was about 20. I miss it alot. You remind me alot of the guy I worked for. He was/is a mechanical genius, can fix anything very very talented guy. We used to have a lot of fun I miss him alot. He used to break my balls just like you do Tim.
When you get down, stop and have a look at your kids. From the little I can see from your videos, you have raised a great bunch of happy and productive kids. You are ahead of a lot of us, keep it up.
You have done a great job raising your children. I admire your courage and fortitude. Through all adversity you have been dealt, you continue to shine. Your blessing comes later Wes. You have a great family and I hope you have a great Christmas.
Thanks for sharing that. It must have been hard to do it. Everyone goes through hard times but not everyone is willing to share their story. Again thanks. God bless!
Thanks for your story wess, I too am going through the same shit. My wife left me for another guy after 38 years of marriage. I wondered the same thing when she always had a reason to go back up home to spend time with somebody, and the whispering phone calls. She had been planning it for over a year and a half. The hardest part was the night my daughter came to tell me the truth. That was 2 months ago, I had to sell the farm and move, now I have to start my life over. You inspire me to keep going, I hope I can some how find the happiness you have. God bless
Powerful stuff Wes..thanks for sharing your past as many people wouldnt do such a thing, I really hope Wes that life is good for you now and good stuff comes to you in the future!
Thank you for sharing. Your children are a fine reflection of the parenting they experienced during the marriage failure. You have much to be proud of. Tim is a fine young man. Haley and Joe are cool as well. You've done well.
I had a similar thing happen with my first wife where she got on drugs really bad (still is) and she ran us out of money and into deep debt. I can relate very easily as to where your at and how hard you had to work. Great job with the kids!!!
Thanks for sharing a part of your life that most people would keep private. We have all seen how your life has moved on Wes you have a lovely family and many friends all over the world from your videos and you definitely have a open door at my house anytime. Regards from my family to yours
I liked your story Wesley I have had a similar situation myself in 09, I here you when you say I know where I'm going I don't know where she's going but not my issue anymore. Would love to come to the states someday and have a chin wag. All the best from New Zealand and Merry Christmas
listening to you, from a mans point of view, which doesn't happen often, was heart aching. I, too, had an eye opening experience, as my now ex-husband didn't come home one night, a week later, coincidently, in 2003, 6 days before Christmas- he left me. Not knowing until April of '04, he had moved in with a woman he had been with for a year (or more? Who knows). I'm glad we didn't have children. Yours are very lucky to have a Dad like you. I grew up on my folks dairy and vegetable farm is how I started watching you. It's still tough this time of year.
Thanks Tim! You didn't have to do this but you are like a family member to all of us because you have shared most of your personal life with us. We're glad you have a new friend in Theresa.
That's some beautiful country side. Those are some pretty cool looking cattle. And thanks for sharing where your user name came from. It takes a tough guy to put that out here in the interwebs for anyone and everyone to see. It looks as though that kings are going well for you and we all hope that continues to be the case.
Thanks for telling us your story wes .we all have bad things happen to us and its good to see how you have got on with your life. Keep up the good work with your RU-vid channel we all enjoy the great videos you post
Thanks for this Wes! Been there living it now along with drugs to boot. Seeing your vid's gives me faith that you can recover from the mess if you hang on long enough. I have full custody of my 2 kids as well and am having to fight through it alone but we are making it. Just a few more years and I too feel like I will be coming out on top. Would LOVE to know how you met Theresa as well whenever you get the chance and feel like divulging that (too me anyway) piece of invaluable knowledge.
Keep on trucking Wes your doing a great job raising your kids and working a farm is not easy but you make it look effortless. That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger keep up the good work
Thanks for sharing. I did not expect you to share personal things like that about yourself. Your personal life is not for me to pry into or truly ask about. You have my respect for the personal part of your life. Sounds like you have one main thing going for you no matter what & that's family. Thanks to that you're really never truly lonely in that since. Stay safe.
Thanks for your story, Wes, not everything goes right in your life that tell this story, I think Theresa is very nice Wes, I like all your vids so much keep it up 🎄🎋🎍 Merry Christmas and a happy newyear Wes, Theresa, Tim, Codey and your daughter 😊
Great story Wes, I can relate to it kinda but from the perspective of a child whose mother did the exact same thing pretty much and saw how it affected my father.
Thank you for being so open. Most of us have gone through simular times, at least I have. And recognize what you are saying. It will always feel like a sore spot on your soul but you have 3 children to show for it! And remember, divorce may be more expensive than a marriage, but the benefits will remain longer too!
Thanks for explaining that, Wes. It takes some guts to talk about such things on RU-vid but it gives us some perspective. But I'm glad that you're still close with your kids, especially Tim. And I liked seeing Joseph and Hailey in previous videos, too. I'm just wondering about one thing... what happened with Marghy(?). I assume she's Payton's mom? And it seems like you still spend time with Payton, which is cool. You seem happy with Theresa now, which is great! Anyway, thanks for sharing and keep making the best of things. That's what I admire most about you!
Thanks brother. 28 years out of my life down the tubes! But after two years I met a woman who has made my life greater than ever!! We've been married for 7 years now and loving each other more every day. I, (we) are truly blessed!
wow, really nice to hear about your past and what makes you who you are, I do hope your able to be happy again, you sound like it still drags you down, I understand its really not easy talking about that stuff... impresses me that you can put it out here among the vultures
Interesting to know the story behind the name... you know I often asked myself why your channel's name is 'Onelonleyfarmer', but I somehow didn't expect such a sad story..
Hello OLF, Life is shit sometimes, especially when the break involves kids, and it turns out perhaps from what I gather she did not care enough for her children to take care of them. If I may say, I am pleased you found another love and your life went in the direction you wanted with your busyness. Allow me to wish you all the best wishes in the world for you and your family, take care mrbluenun
There is a delicate balance between work and home. It is even harder as a farmer where you don't have the luxury of putting the key in the door at the end of the day. As farmers we need to be careful to give the attention needed to family and not let bad days in the barn or field spill over into the house.
amen onelonleyfarmer, I love how you said in the end " you don't know where she's going in the end, but I do ". I've never been in a relationship, but I hope to someday. I just gotta be patient.
Love the scenery. Myself, and I'm sure many other viewers have similar stories.....it sucks don't it. But life does go on, eventually. At least you seem happy for the moment :)
Wes, many of us, maybe even most, have similar stories to tell. Life isn't fair, no one ever said it was. But the only way we can go is forward. I've learned to cherish the good times, and just move past the bad times. You are a good, hard working man, and a good father and role model for your children. That is what really matters. Thank you for sharing your story.
Wes I can tell almost the same story, fortunately my ex just moved away and moved on. Thanks for sharing your story maybe some people don't understand how hard it is to tell. Your a lucky fella to have Theresa she looks fun and good for you.
thankyou for share that with us. I know what u went though and it sucks ass. keep posting your videos love your work . would love to dtop in one day if i go up to Jersey to work
Not a good feeling when you find out the person you thought you knew isn't that person at all. Been down that road a few times, all I can say about that is with each day that passes it gets just a little bit easier! Great video my friend,take care!
I don't how many times I have heard this story from both sides. It seems the first clue is unexplained absences, followed by changes in hair style, and worries about weight, clothing purchases that are never worn at home, (I had one buddy who opened up the trunk of his wife's car to change out a flat tire and found a whole wardrobe of clothing he had never seen her in!) like I said men are just as guilty as the women a lass in one of my classes said the hang up calls about drove her crazy, till she figured out what was going on. Hang in there Wes living well with obvious enjoyment is the best revenge! Charlie
Your life and mine when it comes to children and ex wives is very very similar. until today i had not heard this all from you but i suspected that it would be close to my world. Thank you Wes for sharing you Life and times on youtube.
