I Am Getting a Divorce

Heartbroken

By: Joshuaedrake
Written on August 6th, 2012
I've been married for 13 years. Most of them rocky and filled with angry words. The thing is, I always thought we would fight through. I didn't realize how much I truly loved her until she told me she wanted a divorce. She has pushed me hard and fast to sign and file immediately. She is in love with someone currently in prison for murder, 25 years remaining. It infuriates me that this murder is worth more than I am. We have 2 daughters 11 and 13. I have messed up my relationship with my oldest and currently getting counseling. I want my wife, I love her. She still has sex with me on occasion, and it makes me feel like we will be together again, but am afraid I am just filling the void until she marries this prisoner, waits her 3 years and gets conjugal visits.

    I know the gut wrenching, knock you to the floor, cry your eyes out pain you are going through. I am so sorry. I really am. It just sucks, sucks, sucks.

    Why do you want a woman who continues to view you as an "option" in her life? You are a father. A role model. This is unacceptable to teach. Cut it off. She belongs in the rear view mirror and almost never glanced back at. Build your soul and confidence back up. She has kept you deflated for quite some time for you to feel this vacant inside. No one should have that kind of power over you. This is a teaching moment for your girls. Also, I would ask for sole custody, because if she is willing to have a criminal help raise your kids (a murderer at that?!), I'm not sure what she's NOT capable of doing.
