My wife and I have been married 4 years. We have a daughter, 17 months old. I am in my medical residency at the moment and I work ~60-80 hours most weeks right now. I have been aware of some dissatisfaction on the part of my wife for a little while, but I had been working on shaping up (and by her admission, I was doing a good job of it!)
Then, a few days ago, on 3/25/13, she told me she wanted a divorce. I was not expecting that whatsoever. And she insists that there is not one shred of hope left for our marriage. She wants out, she thinks it will be easier on her own.
I don't want this. I love my family dearly and I am willing to do whatever I possibly can to fix this, if at all possible.
I need some help. I'm getting very mixed messages. My parents want me to hire a lawyer. I'm not interested in that yet. I still feel like there is hope. This is just so sudden that it is impossible for me to believe that it could all just be over at the drop of a hat like that. In the past few days I've been an emotional disaster. Crying, pleading, writing letters, all that stuff that I know now doesn't work.
I purchased the Divorce Remedy the other day and had it overnighted to my house. I purchased coaching sessions today. I'm trying to figure out what I need to do. My coaching session is on Tuesday morning (4/2/13) and I'm eagerly awaiting that time. In the meantime, I've been reading the book...
It seems based on what my wife is saying to me, and what the book is saying, that I am already at the stage of needing the last-resort technique. Anyone care to comment?
I really need help. Thanks everyone.
