My history DD 6-1-04. Wife had an affair for a while. Broke it off and we reconciled. This is 2 years later and that is behind us. I just took another job in another town 2 1/2 hours away from home. I am staying in an appartment w/ 2 other guys from work. At nite after work we all go eat out. The first day i started we all went eat and went out until 2 in the morning. My wife called while we were out and had a fit. We seemed to work that out. Last nite we went eat at hooters and stayed their until 930. When i got back to the apt. I called her and we got into another argument about bieng their. To make a long story short, we talked on the phone until 1230 this morning and she said that she wanted a divorce, she cannot put up with me not giving her the emotional needs she wants. We were getting along fine up until last nite. Today she says that she really doenst know what to do about us. She says that I dont love her or treat her with the love and respect she deserves.
I understand that i shouldnt be going to a bar room at nite. But wanting a divorce is a little extreme. I am really confused now.

Hey IM - You've been registered since 12/02/04 ?
Have you read the free material on this site ?
Do you agree with POJA ?
I've worked away from home.
IMHO: quit the job and find a job close to home
- your family is more important than any difference in pay.
Trust in the Lord

POJA: policy of joint agreement -
There should be an enthusiastic agreement between both of you before you do anything.
Key word: enthusiastic
not just ok - do what you want
17 months is a long time
Why can't your family be with you ?
Trust in the Lord
