Yes I could 'contest' the divorce. But then we have to pay fees and neither of us can afford that. In the UK you can do all of this without speaking to lawyers. You don't even have to go to court. It's all done for you.
I hate that this is happening. I know it's my fault. But I hate the nagging thought that my W's manipulative sister and her friends have just fed her the 'leave him' line for 3 months and that's all she's been hearing so she feels obliged to do it. Awful situation.
Hi Dan
I'm sorry to hear about recent developments. One thing I learned pretty early is that the piece of paper that is the divorce order means nothing, relatively speaking, other than the upset it causes. What really matters is that it was precipitated when you lost your wife's heart. In my view, it is the heart of your wife you need to win back - that is the key.
Ask yourself - would it be a baby step to winning her heart back if you accepted her choice to divorce, or would it be a baby step to her heart if you resisted?
