The petition is finished. It took a while, and he had to approve it all - I can't just do it MYSELF, can I? Even though only our Sols will see it, he doesn't want to be painted "like an as****e." He hasn't done anything wrong, it's not true. It's completely right for decent, caring, compassionate men to leave their wives for OW, cheat, lie, collude, deceive. How dare I stop him from getting on with his life? Don't I UNDERSTAND THAT HE WANTED A DIVORCE YESTERDAY, WE ARE LIKE CHALK AND CHEESE, HIS LIFE IS BEING HELD UP BY ME, WHAT KIND OF A SICK BI*** AM I TO WASTE HIS TIME SO THAT HE HAS TO

things are going strange all of a sudden , i broached the subject of christmas with my pleasant stbx , since we're having to co-exist in the same house till the court removes her from the tenancy - and she turned around and told me that the children are mine for christmas! . . . . she informed me that she will be out a lot over the holiday and also that she won't be around on christmas day , as she's been invited to dinner somewhere else and she doesn't want the children with her! . .       i know we're getting divorced  and no longer an item in any way , but i thought maybe for the children

When I separated from my second husband I really wasn’t in a good place, having already had a previous unsuccessful marriage I felt completely useless and a total failure, as well as feeling like I had let my children down again and I just couldn’t even comprehend the idea of entering into another relationship.

There were no third parties involved and we (or rather I) had got to the point where I was tired of being the trophy family just brought out for special occasions. I originally proportioned blame as 90% in favour of my ex as he was the one living a single life
