Wife hits me.....need help....

[~Sol]

1210,

I was wondering when I would here from you.

I've been told to stay at a friend's house when W is here - but since she works nights and I days, I can still stay here and avoid her during our working schedules. On her nights off, if she is abusive still, I was told to leave and stay at a friend's - if only to cool things off and avoid any more drama.

I don't plan on completely moving out, but if we are heading for a separation agreement to be served, I need for her to either agree to sell the house, or to keep it in her name or for her to move out. I know I don't want to get baited for "abandonment" which is what her divorced friends might tell her to bait me with. She has already threatened me to get out with my things.

I just want this marriage to end. It's ashame that I have to wait one year with a legal separation agreement. And that's another thing, I don't know if or how to get her to agree to separate. I know she won't, and wants to stay with me out of spite and make me "suffer"......This is getting ridiculous with her.

I guess I will have to go in to see a lawyer about what to do after all.

And thank you for your compliment. It is ALWAYS a pleasure to hear that!
