I can't wait to get divorced

Post Reply New Topic

My wife of 22 years claims she cares about me and wants to help me but all she does is b*tch and moan about everything I do. She knows I'm not happy and want out of the marriage but because she's a good Catholic girl she won't do it unless I screw around on her or beat her up (and even then she might not). She has no clue how much I do for her. After a week she'll beg me to come back. The day this becomes final will be the happiest day of my life.

 
 10 Crucial Things to Do Before Filing for Divorce 

Have the two of you ever seen a marriage counselor?

If not, I would recommend trying that before going for a divorce. Both of you might learn to communicate with each other better, so that you could, hopefully, no longer feel that "all she does is b*tch and moan about everything I do."

The last time we went to a counselor, she basically took my side on just about everything. It was great for me, but it pissed her off so much that she decided not to go anymore -- which I understand.

I'm not sure what you're waiting for. She doesn't need to agree to a divorce. You can file any time you want.

Word of warning: Sever your name from any joint bank accounts or joint credit cards ahead of time.

I would suggest that you find a different counselor, one who won't take sides but will strive to hear out, and empathize with, the feelings of, both sides, while advising both on how to communicate more effectively with each other. That's what a good marriage counselor should do.

By the way, does your wife know that you are on the autism spectrum?
