Oh, so you think that the odds are on you getting back together so you don't even have to consider the fact that you are divorced and may stay that way? All you have to do is get a good job and everything will fall into place? Is that all that was wrong with the marriage and she only wanted out because you weren't making good money anymore?
Sorry, but that sounds like about the weakest excuse to get divorced, and an equally weak reason to get back together, because you suddenly can be her financial support. What happened to the old fashioned notion of being together because of love and accepting that your spouse might not be your sugar daddy/momma?

Wrong. Not the men on here. They've faced as much or worse than you. Some reconciled and many didn't. But many of the guys (and girls) that didn't reconcile still felt they grew through this process because they focused on themselves and being the best spouse they could potentially be, even if their W or H never recognized that or tried again. And some realized that while they could work on their own issues, they couldn't solve their spouses. Your life at this point seems dedicated only to getting your spouse back. I guess I said my piece about working on yourself and trying to make your presently single life fulfilling. That's all I suggest and you can take it or leave it. Seems we are on two separate wavelengths so I'll leave you to your thread and wish you luck.
