My wife had an affair about 13 months ago. we have been seperated for the last year. We tried counseling and even got back together only lasted 3 days. (this happened twice)<BR>I tried to show her that I forgave her and knew that I was part of the problem. After about 5 months of her saying she not ready. I decided to move on. I met someone and as and wife found out about it 3 months ago. Now she is begging me to save our marriage.<BR>I told her that we are not right for eachother, and she said that to me six months ago. I told her there was no chance. I since ended the relationship with girl I met. (moving to fast)I cannot seem to finish the Divorce<BR>Wife has called and has said if this is over then I want the papers signed. I seem unable to do it. We were married 2 years seperated 1 no kids
