I'd like to thank all of your for your input. I'll work through it.

A ticket to vegas.

You should have just poisoned her, it would have been easier.

 

[Shame]

Get a lawyer.

 

[yankeesfan]

Not that I would know, but the whole staying friends after the divorce thing doesn't seem like it will work.

Hide your assets! STAT

Any smart man should do that the minute he meets a woman.

hehe I kinda figured that. It's weird though she's called me like 4 or 5 times on my way back to DC and not once did she mention what we talked about, in a weird sort fo way she sounded kinda happy lol. Mostly "just wanting to make sure your not too tired to drive" and "How much further you got?"

 

[scttgrd]

Lawyer up quick! Don't think, just do it. You will thank us all later.

lol Assets? you guys have assets? man I lost it all the moment we got engaged. As an experiment I told her if she had a dollar she would spend it, then without her knowing I would slip a crisp $1 bill in her purse. What do ya know, when she came home that dollar was gone.

Just like every other dollar I had

Screw the holidays, if you don't like your wife anymore just tell your family and friends now so they don't have to buy gifts. Change every password for everything and rent a safety deopsit box at a bank the wife does not use and put and extra cash or valuables there.

 

[mrrman]

if its agreeable,get the papers yourself and file them...thats the cheapest way out

you'll figure out the logistics of divorce soon enough, but i vote for doing what you love, and in your case it's becoming a dive master. look at the divorce as a brand spankin' new chapter in your life, one that most people who are married cannot do (like start their lives all over when you have a mortgage and other bills, and also kids). start planning for the good times ahead.

 

[Conky]

Get a lawyer and get it over with as quick as possible. If you have trust issues with her this is the only way.

Jesus. No wonder you had trust issues.

Between that and reading her emails your marriage was always doomed.

That is exactly what I'm thinking right now. This is a perfect way of getting rid of alot of my stuff as well to make it all happen. Give me my truck and my dog and I'll be on my way

Well, my first thought is that you shouldn't have committed yourself to this course of action without knowing what the next steps would be. I certainly hope that you and your (soon to be ex-) wife can come to a amicable agreement on the division of property, alimony, etc. as part of your divorce, but there's not guarantee this will happen. I would immediately consult a good divorce attorney and/or contact the arbitration services recommended by your marriage counselor.

If you're ever going to pursue the scuba thing, this is likely to be your last chance...

Try to keep as much of your assets as possible. If she knows the system, she will try to get her legal share of your pie.

You know why divorce costs so much... cause it's worth it.

 

[pulse8]

There's always the advice of having consultations with the best divorce lawyers around so that she can't use them.

 

[chambersc]

Ouch. Good luck to you. Lawyer up.

 

[HomeAppraiser]

Plan on paying for HER lawyer too!

not to mention cheaper

 

[Clocker]

if you have absolutely no assets or very little of it then you should file for divorce yourself. best of luck. its admirable to remain friends. but if their is no kids then i see no reason. i am not trying to say you have to be enemies but being friends with a person you dont trust doesnt make sense either. again best of luck and best regards

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

Last one to get the lawyer loses. You already don't trust her, what makes you think she will deal fairly with you on this?

Lawyer. Now.

 

[Kanalua]

Get the best lawyer you can afford. Do some research, ask around (know any divorced friends?). Really, get teh best you can afford. The "be friends" thing is all a ploy, get yours and make sure she gets only what you don't take. Don't fall for the "Be Friends" thing, DO NOT.

Edit: As for what to do now with your life; I recommend getting into Salt Water Aquariums. Ask BoomerD, he'll help point you in the right direction. One of my favorite reef aquarium websites is run by a guy who got into reef aquariums as a result of a divorce: Melev's Reef.
