Divorce upcoming

I'm glad you're able to focus on things that bring you joy instead of being mired in a negative situation. It's doing the stuff we love and that brings us fulfillment that allows us to have the strength to deal with the crappy stuff in your lives. I'm sorry that it has come to divorce, but from what you've stated in your other posts, by the sounds of things, it's what you need to do to get yourself out of an unhealthy relationship. It's a step that's difficult to make, but in making it, you'll get a chance to heal. Best of luck to you.
 
my story

I remember that day some 22 years ago that I decided I'd be better off without my wife. I great burden was lifted off my shoulders. Haven't regretted it one bit.

Enjoy your new life, I'm sure it will be better than what it has been.

It's also the only one you'll have so to live with lots of regrets doesn't make much sense either. I keep telling myself that too.
 
....
Wife called me today and said she wants a divorce so she can go to the South and become a Catholic Missionary.

Says God has called her to be a missionary-

Have to say I did see this as possibly happening- what with the past year her spending 4-6 hours a day outside talking and praying out loud.....

Oh my!

Remember, you should not talk against the call of GAWD!
Support her in her calling.... but do be careful not to be too enthusiastic! You risk that she realizes what an unshaved sinner you are, and decide that The Lord Almighty really calls her to save your miserable soul!
 
Go to the "south"....like some place in Brentwood? Santa Monica? One of the beach cities?

Could be legit. Just skeptical. Not that it matters in the least however.
 
Huh.

I wasn't aware the Franciscans had a "Divorce your husband and become a bride of Christ" exemption.
 
I'm sorry.. but you've spent the past two years posting about how horrific your marriage has been..
you don't live with your wife
you refer to her as your soon-to-be ex
and she just now told you that she wants a divorce..
and (saints be praised)..
you saw this coming.

stop bashing your marriage and start enjoying your life..
however it unravels.
 
You are better off. Go to a good restaurant have a meal and then think about how much better off you are. A bad relationship is torture in so many ways. She can do what she wants who cares? Now you can do what YOU want. It is not worth it. No relationship is worth the unhappiness and here is just a little nugget:people rarely change. If you don't like what you have? Leave it because the odds are against change.
