My divorce thread.

Well as of last weekend it has legally been two years that my wife and I have been separated. In the state of PA she is entitled to a divorce without my signature.

[ Background & Why ]

I have not seen her in almost two years. The last time we spoke was via email a little over a year ago. And the last time I attempted to communicate to her was via U.S. mail last December which she returned unopened.

So I expect to be divorced any day now. I am still paying for her health insurance and I got new cards. So I stopped them off to her attorney this morning.

I hope you all don't mind if I just come in here and vent from time to time.

Thanks for being so nice in the past.

--Stephen

Why haven't you cut her off yet? It seems wrong in some way to pay for her health care, but have her ignore you.

Hang in there. We need more people like you who hold dear to the words of the wedding vows.

To tell you a funny story, my buddy was the happiest man at his ex-wife's wedding couple of years ago. For over 5 years, he had to pay alimony. The ex would not get married to her "boyfriend" because the guy was a good for nothing slob and the alimony was bigger than both their incomes combined. When he heard about the marriage, he went uninvited to make sure that the marriage occured so that he doesn't have to continue paying.

The reason he wasn't invited was the ex wanted my buddy (who lives in different state) to continue sending her the monthly check.

Best of luck to you.

Gawd I hate golddiggers. How can one live off of another person in good conscience? Grow a backbone and get a job, damn.

I don't know what I should say, because I honestly can't imagine what that must be like. Hang tough and I wish you the best of luck.

All I have to say is no matter how much one person intends to follow their committments, and no matter how much energy and effort one person puts into a relationship or marriage - it's a two way street.

Sounds like her loss.

Well Lux, I just go word via my MOM that my cousin (she is like a little sister to me) is filing today.

The dude was a bump on a log and good for nothin it seems. It's too bad as they have 3 girls together.

But I do know that this is for the best and I take stock in that and you (lux) should too in your situation.

Make the break and find the girl to spend the rest of you life with. =D

Lux, I think that you have done your part so save the marriage and to standup for what you believe is correct. We all make choices in life and she has made a choice to go on and end the marriage. So dont fell bad for the divorce its not your doing but its time to move on and start over. We are all here for You!!!!

I gotta agree with J here Lux. She is the one missing out on what could have been a great thing. Stay strong and think of it this way....one day some woman will walk into your life and she'll be the one truly meant for you. I'm here for you buddy!
