Folks,

Im new to this and I apologize if my story sounds very similar to others. Reason I say this is becasue I only read a few and honestly found them to be very close to my story. Yet, I like to get some replies from people who have either gone thru something similar or are currently going thru one.

Here goes, 3 weeks ago, I stayed home and got a court notice from wifes attorney. She filed for dissolution of marriage, she claimed that marriage is irretrieveably broken. I was shocked and hurt to say the least. I'll try to make the long story short. Ive been escorted out of our apt that evening.. (i left voluntarily for the sake of her and our 2yr old daughters comfort). She refused to talk for two weeks. Her parents also came and moved in with her the same day and are supporting her go thru does. She didnt talk to me for two weeks and her parents also didnt let me try talk to her. Finally thru a familys friend she agreed to meet after three weeks. I apologized to her regarding some of her complaints/greviences towards me, all her points were valid and I had been working on them for a while to improve myself, she didnt think so. She thinks I dont love her , like her, too disrespecting to her parents, etc etc. She told me she lost her trust in me. I assured her many many times as god my witness that things will be different now, give me another chance. She refuses. They are all still living in the apt and im moved in temporarily with a friend in a very small 1 bed room apt. During the temporary orders ive been asked to pay the day care expenses and 800+ in temporary maint. After paying all that I hardly left anything to pay my share of the rent to my friend. I have no problem living like that if she comes around and patch up with me. I requested her so much, wrote a letter, begged her to get back together for the sake of our kid, but she keep saying no. Im allowed to see the kid every day. No problems/ disputes over that. Family friend told me to give her some time to think this over, maybe she will find a soft spot in her heart. I dont know when though. Is there anything anyone like to suggest I should do or should not do. Any ideas.

She needs to see the change-probably for alot longer than a few weeks. Keep working on yourself. If you reconcile to quickly, it may not stick.
