I would advise against it. I won't meddle in your business, but if you've posted it on the forum, I take it that you'll accept advise either way. You've entered into a covenant relationship with this woman before Christ. You should uphold it. UNLESS she has been unfaithful to you.

I don't get along with my in laws as well. My Father in law and I got into a fist fight on Christmas day this past year, but I won't allow it to come between me and Mrs. Nightwatchman. I will be praying for you. Hope you and Mrs. Ruger300 separate. Divorces are very sad.

"deck the halls with fists of fury, lalalala - lala-la-la"

We both could have held it together a little better. It was reckless and stupid and immature. I wish it hadn't have happened but I do not regret WHY it happened. He had it coming. As did some other idiot members of her family.

I hope it goes quick and is rather painless. Good luck.

I appreciate the kind words and advice. I wish it could be resolved in a better way but I’ve done everything I can do that’s within my control to no avail. Now it’s just a matter of gritting my teeth and getting on with it.

👍

Sorry to hear, hang in there and do all you can for the kids. I can't imagine getting a divorce. I read this and know I'm a blessed Man.

Ended one of 17yrs in Feb.

Sometimes it’s the only path. PM me if you need anything.

Prayers up for you

300 sorry to hear but get you the best nastiest lawyer you can afford. Be nice but don't be a pushover and do not make threats of any type at all that we come back to haunt you in court! That said divorce is a business deal from here on out, so treat it as such and leave emotions out of it as much as you can! Sometimes easier said than done though! Good luck my friend

Very true Foghorn

Reckon what this Christmas will hold in store for you?

Amen.

Fortunately, all my boys a grown. Two veterans and one active duty. No grandkids.

Years ago I went through one. Even when it's the best thing, it's never a good thing.

My in-laws call to see if I’m home before they come.😬

i applaud you for having the balls to post this - and I agree 100% with you ... if both parties have been faithful - AND there are children involved - seek therapy & try to salvage the relationship ... at one point, you loved her - find it again ... after trying that, if you still feel the same, then pursue the divorce ... Just bear in mind, that covenant covers "POOR, SICKNESS, & WORSE" situations - not just better, richer, and health ...

my divorce was 2015 - we worked on our marriage for years - and it didn't work out ... but it's not been smooth sailing since 2015, i assure you of that ... children make these things very complicated

MUCH PRAYER needs to go into this decision - and maybe that has taken place ... but there's green grass over EVERY septic sank, bud ... hindsight is 20/20 and looking back, i know now my marriage sucked - but I wasn't going to be the one to stand before the Lord -- and we will ALL stand before Him -- and have to answer His tough questions on why I gave up ... i live with a peace that my ex will never be able to live with ...

a very good (and highly recommended) read on this is a book called, "Too Good To Leave, Too Bad To Stay" -- probably one of THE BEST relationship decision-making books I've ever spent time in ... get a copy & work through her "diagnostic model" - it's well worth the money/time -- if not for your marriage, but also for any future relationships you might have ...
