I have contacted a guy who started a fathers rights chapter here where I live and he is going to help me.. i always thought about that in the back of my head.. my plan was to give her time to heal and try to get over everything.. Where she live I checked the laws and she cant file there until 6 months to a year because she needs to be a resident. So I was not going to let that mark pass and I will be the one to file first.. i was just HOPING that she would get over it and try.. Because when we were together she always told me she never believed in divorce.. its funny how things change..

I know the hurt you are going through. It's going to get worse. And then the anger will rise and it will paralyze you. You will be overwhelmed with rage at her selfishness. At her lack of regard for you. Someone that she once said she loved. And she'll feel entitled to take whatever she can from you. Since setting her on fire is illegal in most states, divorce is your only option. I'm sorry. Lighter fluid is cheaper too.* *That was a joke. Seabird doesn't really advocate setting your ex on fire. But it's a nice thought... My starting point.

Not just better than right now, but better than it was before even. You can find happiness with or without her. http://www.marriagebuilders.com/ubb...in=150603&Number=2058245#Post2058245 Last edited by Seabird; 07/24/08 11:48 PM. My starting point.
