Heywyre, the ring is not my top priority, it's the last. SHE IS MY TOP PRIORITY!!! NOTHING ELSE!!! I just keep having people tell me to get a lawyer and protect all the assets. Make sure she doesn't start selling stuff off. I was just asking to help me understand about property. I really don't think that your statement "I can see why she is wanting to leave - your priorities are screwed up!" is really fair. I think you've read a lot of my posts, hopefully you can see that I love my wife very much. However, I am a man and have been stubborn and too thick headed to hear her all these years. Damn, I just hate myself for not waking up sooner.

2in2, I wish my wife was calling the separation a "wake-up call". It really has been a wake-up for me. She calls it "permanent."

Fearless, you've got some great points and that's the direction I want to go in.

I'm sorry if this post sound angry. I'm not mad at anyone here. My counselor said that I would go thru phases of feelings about this, and that I would get angry. Today I just go from angry to crying.

My wife and I had planned to talk tonight and she called earlier and asked if we could cancel. I was in a meeting and haven't called her back yet. Should I call her back?

I really don't want to meet with her, but it's got to be done. And also, if she wants this then she needs to tell me face to face. If she's having a hard day and having trouble with it, then that's too bad. She made the choice.

I think that I have been very nice thru this process so far. Too nice. But that's the way I am. I love her and would do anything for her, but I won't aid her in moving out and divorcing me. I will keep working on myself, keep my head up, and fight for our marriage. I won't give up until the ink is dry.

Is this the right attitude to have? Or are my emotions just screwed up too much right now?

Thanks everyone for your help! It really means a lot to me, even when I hear things that I don't like. Thanks!
