17 years of marriage gone?
| Sat, 10-01-2011 - 2:25pm |
Last September I discovered my wife was having an affair. We lost a baby to an ectopic pregnancy and she began confiding in a coworker who offered her support.
I noticed in your posting that you did not mention what your part in this situation is/was. Did you grieve with your wife? Did you emotionally support her? What did the counselor suggest for you to do? Did you make your wife feel important and loved? You did mention that at the end of your post but did you try to change that when you were in counseling?
Be that as it may, that is water under the bridge for your wife has stated unequivocally that she does not want to be married. With that clear and definitive statement, LISTEN to your wife. Not trying to be mean or adversarial but I wonder if she felt listened to when you and she lost her child?
Go find a divorce attorney and start figuring out how to live your life without her.

Hi Dad!
What you need to do now is contact an attorney and figure out what your rights are, and what reasonable outcome you can expect from pursuing a divorce.
I know it's a very painful situation to get divorced after a long marriage and w/ kids involved (been there myself).
Again, I'm really sorry for all that you're going thru.
