broken = getting fixed (a little bit, day by day)

Well, the wife's been gone for over three weeks, but is still coming almost over every day to move stuff out and hasn't moved any of the big stuff yet. I have not been at the house whenever she's there - still don't want to watch her dismantle our life together.

I've given up on her coming back, and I don't know if I'd want to be with this new person she's become anyway. I'm feeling like I'm ready to move on with my life. I want to be free to explore other relationships, perhaps sooner than later. My wife's vows obviously didn't mean anything to her, but they meant everything to me. I won't break them as long as I have a marriage, if only on paper.

Any advice on asking her for a divorce when I'm expecting her to pay for it since she was the one who was unfaithful and moved out? I talked to a friend who went through a divorce recently, and he handled it through the courts without attorneys, since it was relatively amicable like mine. They spent under $1,000 and only had to go to 1/2 hour mediation.

Should I be moving this over to another topic section?
