Hey Guys,

I interviewed my third attorney this past Friday. I think I'll be going with this lady. I mentioned to her that my W and I have agreed on just upon everything. The lawyer says that we can be divorced in 30-60 days as an uncontested divorce. As I told her my story, she was very quick to state that my W "probably had someone else" on the sidelines. Why is it that every women believes my W has someone else already? I must be very naive and stupid.

The big question for me now is when to file. Do I do this before or after Christmas? I'm on vacation the remainder of the year so I have plenty of time to do the paperwork. My W is taking the kids to NC for skiing and will be returning on the 24th. After Christmas, my W is going to either Vermont or Colorado to go skiing by "herself."

I'm still open to saving this marriage, but I can't do it myself. I've been crying alot today...not for my W...but for my kids. I love them to death. I'm twice the parent to my kids since my W travels so much with work. Friends have mentioned to me that I've done everything I could do and that I should be proud of myself in handling all of this with honor and dignity. God has been working me over quite a bit lately...shaping and forming me into the person He wants me to be. I pray that I can be strong enough for my kid's sake and that someday I may meet the right lady for me. I think I deserve it.


Thanks,
LFH
