It doesn't matter if your wife heard the vows. She'd see it entirely different from you...she'd probably be like, "don't do it."

My question: Why are you paying spouse support and for how long will you be doing that? Can't she get a job? I didn't read your whole story, I'm sorry, so if this was ordered by the court I understand. I just hope it isn't out of some obligation you feel towards her.

Hiya

You're quite right it IS court ordered

Here in South Africa, we have a small thing called a RULE 43 Application - it's "normally" to provide interrim maintenance / support for the wife BUT in our case, my wife used this "loophole" (if I can call it that ) to FORCE me into divorcing her...

Her logic was / IS = that I would rather grant her a divorce than actually end up paying her money every month; i.e: money is more important to me that the sanctity of our marriage vows \:o

My wife earns a good enough salary to take care of herself and her "monetary claims" were mostly bogus and inflated -> you'll have to look back in my thread/s to where that all happened (unless I can dig them up for you :))

Thanks for popping by though


Best wishes & blessings

EDITED - sorry, forgot to mention that the court ordered maintenance is ONLY until / IF ;\) the "D" goes though
