  • What do I do?

    OK. Starting in early Feb my wife dropped out of school. Then had a nervous breakdown.Then told me that she was leaving me and taking our son(7months old) on Valentines Day. ON Feb 26th she drank 2 bottles of wine and half a 6 pack of beer and told me for the last time that she was leaving. She left on March 3rd. It took me over a month to get us into marriage counselling. Where as she lied the whole session. 3 days after our first marraige counselling session she is creating and responding to personal ads for women4women. During our 2nd session in marraige counselling she says she is seeing a lawyer for a divorce.

    During that time I went through a career change from a job of making $40,000 to a job making $90,000 for us and our son so we could live a great life as a family with our new son.

    I was always there for her and she always came first in my life because that's what you do when you have a family. Nothing comes before the happiness of your family.

  • Question about my situation?

    My wife left our home and marriage 4 months ago with our 7 month old son a month after she had a nervous breakdown and told me she leaving on the day she got her period(Valentines day).

    At the time I was going through a career change from a job of working 7 days a week(75 hours) making 40K to a job making 90k and 40 hours a week. This is something that we agreed on. That I could take care of our son for awhile and focus on getting back to my old career.

    It took me a month from when she left to get us in counselling. She would not agree to it. During our 2nd time in counseling she says she is seeing a lawyer and filing for a divorce.

    She says we are getting a divorce because I was unemployed and that I wasn't cleaning the house.Yeah so we clean differently. I''m not as thorough at it as she is. I don't like to dust.

    I was also doing all the cooking of dinner and preparing her breakfast and lunch for her the next day.

    I don't get it. I don't know I did.

    Can someone help?

  • Is the grass greener over there?

    Has anyone really found the grass to be greener on the other side?

    The way that I see it is that it might be for alittle while. Then after a while it will get dry and start to turn brown again. If the grass in your yard starts to wilt and get dry you just have to water it and show it some love for that green look and feel again.

    Do you agree? Have you found the grass greener elsewhere?

  • Separated 3 1/2 months?

    A week ago I spent an hour talking with my wife on the phone. There was alittle arguing but not much. She had said that she was thinking and that it was wrong of her to leave our marriage and family. She left on March 3rd with our son that was 7 months old at the time and moved into her fathers house. She has filed for a divorce since then. Our problems were never that bad for this to happen. At the time of her leaving I was making career change to provide a better life for my family and we had agreed about that.

    Why would she say now that she made a mistake leaving and why hasn't she done anything to show she wants to reconcile? What should I do?

  • Why do people treat marriages as if it's just dating?

    Divorce should only be allowed if there is cheating and or physical or emotional abuse.

    http://www.americanvalues.org/html/r-unhappy_ii.ht...

    "I love you means that I accept you for the person that you are and that I do not wish to change you into someone else. It means that I do not expect perfection from you, just as you don't expect it from me. It means that I will love you and stand by you even through the worst of times. It means loving you when you are in a bad mood or too tired to do the things I want to do. It means loving you when you are down, not just when you're fun to be with. I love you means that I know your deepest secrets and do not judge you for them, asking in return only that you do not judge me for mine. It means that I care enough to fight for what we have and that I love you enough not to let go. It means thinking, dreaming, wanting, and needing you constantly."

  • What do you think about my soon to be ex-wife?

    We are in the beginning stages of our divorce. Haven't even had our first meeting yet. Anyway, in early March she abandoned our family home and took our 7 month old son to live with her father. Read on.

    I had spent all of last year working 7 days a week/14 hours a day which was rough, but I had to do what I had to do to be the provider for my wife and unborn son. Provide a home, food, and maintain insurance. My wife didn't feel the need or desire to work during that time. There is more to it but that's enough of that.

    Her and I made an agreement that when I were to leave that job I could find myself a better job/career to provide a better financial life and work traditional hours to spend time with my family. It is not easy making a career change, especially when you've had the year that I had and you have a newborn baby at home.

    Anyway after 3 months of job searching and interviewing she left. I was crushed and had trouble doing anything. I'm sure some people can relate.

  • What do you think makes a marraige counselor good at what they do?

    My wife and I started marriage counseling over a month ago. Not that it helped with anything. Since we started counseling we went from trying to work it our problems to waiting online for a divorce. We both still go individually but I don't get anything out. It has become a waste of time.

    What would you look for in a therapist?

  • Why would my wife that I am separated from call?

    My wife that I am separated from for 2 months now called me 15 minutes ago to tell me she is out to dinner with friends. This weekend I have my son to hang out with. It is also me birthday tomorrow. She told me she went to see a lawyer last week to get the papers started on our divorce.

    Why would she call me to tell me she is out with friends? I go out to dinner with friends almost 4 nights a week. Is this like a Ross and Rachel thing where she wanted to say she is over me now, but I hung up on her to fast cause I was laughing. Then she calls back 2 minutes later to see if I'm ok.

  • Would you leave your husband if?

    If your husband was working 7 days a week 14 hrs a day while you were pregnant and was coming home drunk after work, and you knew that he was working but had a few drinks on his way home on the train, but every morning he got up and went back to work for another 14 hour shift day after day for a year while you were pregnant and layed on your *** while you had had been unemployed for 14 months while he provided everything you needed. Then he got fired 3 months after the baby was born and it took him 4 months to find another job would you leave him and take the baby away that is 7 months old now. But the drinking stopped when he got fired from that job.
