my story started about a year ago. married for 17 years, me and my wife had a small fight and stopped talking for a few days. (we never fight much)I tryed to patch things up and out of the blue she said she wanted a divorce. she took off with my 3 young kids and I was devastated. she refused to go to counceling. I always thought our marrage was almost perfect. we never fought much ever, we spent lots of time together, vacations, dining out and our sex life was great. she came back a week later and we reconciled and went to counceling about 6 times thought out the year. everything seem to be great. during the past year we had 3 small arguments about money and her family normal stuff, but each time she would say thats why im divorcing you. so I finally told her that she couldn't keep holding that over my head.
Again she took the kids and left. she moved in with her sister 2 hr away and refused to come back for 6 months. I got a court order to make her bring the kids back. so as of now we have both filed for divorce. when she left she left me with all the bills hers mine everything.by the time I get done paying all the bills there not much left for child support and spousal support.so the attorneys are fighting over that right now, whitch is making any communication very strained. I love my wife very much and would go to counceling but she refuses. now we have been separated for 5 weeks. For the last 2 weeks I have been trying the last resort technique, but she is very stressed and upset with me over the money thing. also i dont believe there is anouther man , I would know by now I hope.
