Hi, I have been lurking here a couple of times. I've been thinking of a divorce for about 2 years now. Well finally it's here. Next week STBX will be going back to his home state. This is a great thing. We have been married almost 6 years. It was the 2nd marriage for both of us. I was a widow, he was divorced. Lots of things have lead up to this, the biggest is his drinking. I can only see better things for myself after he leaves. But I'm sure there will be some second thoughts and lonely nights. Both of our children are grown and not an issue here. I'm hoping he will go peacefully like he says and there will be no stalling. He is planning on signing the papers before he leaves. I'm giving him 2 months to get on the health insurance at his new job. Then I'll file the papers. Hopefully he will cooperate. If not I will have to do it the hard way.

Hi loulou,
I'm sorry you have to be here, but I wish you luck and hope that your divorce goes as smoothly as possible. Take care. We're here for you if you need us. :-)
Hi loulou.... even the things that we know we have to do aren't always easy or free of emotions that make us question it all.
It sounds like you are trying to work things out with him... and you just have to remember.

Thanks for the welcome. You are right about the choices. I didn't have a choice when my first husband died in an accident. I did have one here. My second husband made a lot of bad choices. He is now back in the state he came from and seems to be much happier. Yes we miss each other but this was the best thing for him. I hope he will start to make better choices but that is yet to be seen.
