What never my wife has. She calls today to see if I bought the tag for the car that she has. Then changes the subject to us. Wanted to know why my lawyer didn't want to go to court in july. My lawyer never was asked if a july date would be good for us. I tole her that we were ready and that we didn't need to talk about it, it would all be handled but our lawyers, she asked why I wasn't wiling to talk about things. I told her that I had already tried several times and also in mediation and she wouldn't so I didn't see a need to talk about it now. I told her that I wanted the marriage over with as soon as possiable. For her to move on and get out of my life. She then admitted that she had been draggin her feet with the divorce leaving the door open thinking that maybe we could work things out. I told her that I didn't believe a word that she just said, how can you say that and not allow me to talk to you about anything, not go out with me, not allow me to come see my son when he is with you, much less not call on our anniveresy, or my birthday. You are trying to play me for a fool and I'm not gonna fall for it... Then she gets mad and says that I am being vengeful, because I want her to take half the debt that we equired while married. I told her that was not it at all. I have no hurt feelings or anger tawards you at all. I told her that She did what she thought she needed to do and that was leave. I have no problem with that. But it was about standing up for myself and my best intreste. I have alwasy worked my butt off trying to give her everything she always wanted, she never took care of anything or respected me or the gifts i gave her, not I had to fight for what I thought was mine. I don't want more than what I am due . She has already taken just about everything out of the house , I told her that she wasn't getting anything else unless the judge said she could get it... But in her eyes that make me vengeful.

I also told her that our son has cried to me about not wanting to live with her and how much he hates living in another town with no friends. He wants to go to the school in the town I live in, Thats the only reason that I am fighting for him.. If he he wanted to live with you I wouldn't be fighting for custudy. She got very quiet.
I then told her that I had been wasting my time trying to show her how much I love her because she wasn't wanting me she wanted something else. If we we to ever get back together she would have to show me in a very big way not just in words that she wanted the marriage to work. Then I told her that I had to go.

About an hour later she comes pulling up in the yard wanting her tag... By the way today is my birthday ... I walk out and give her the tag, she says thanks I said your welcome and I turn and walk away. No happy birthday or anything... For someone who has just said the had left the door open for reconciliation, she sure has a funny way of showing it..

I am so tired of her games and at this point I want it over as soon as we can get them to agree on a court date.

Sorry for the vent, but I hads to get all of this off my chest...

needtounderstand,

I sure can relate to this. Your wife sounds like my XH. My solution was to have as little to do with him as possible, to have my attorney fight for what was legally mine and to fight like crazy for custody of my son.

It's not an easy situation to have to deal with a person who lives in a reality of their own making. But such is life and divorce.

Just take it one day at a time.
