[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the few reasons you listed, I don't see how things can't work out for your two. If cheating, abuse, or financial irresponsibility is invovled, a divorce is more justified. But for difference in personal interests and child discipline styles? I am afraid you may be difficult to find another woman to be happy with. Because life is not perfect, whoever you find and decide to be with, the fun and exiciting moments will be replaced by mundane life responsibilities. And differences in personality and interests will start to surface after the newness of a relationship is worn off.

With that said, I hope you and your wife can both move on and have a happy future.[/quote]

I posted earlier about my divorce (glad I did it).  I have to say I agree with you.  I fought my divorce for years, despite the fact that my ex was barely working, not interested in parenting, lied, cheated, stole, hell the final straw was when he hooked up with a MARRIED CHRISTIAN MINISTER  on facebook and she was flying into town to meet him at a hotel so he could boink her.  At that point, after five years of therpay and three different therapists (first two told me to leave him) I finally gave up.

Your differences do sound rather trivial, OP.  Maybe there's more to it than you have shared.  But really, if you both are reasonable all you should need to do is compromise on some issues, find a hobby or two to SHARE, join some clubs or a book group or something to enjoy the pasttimes you don't share, and set firm rules about what discipline is going to entail.

Really if you love(d) this woman and you want to do right by your kids, I think you have an obligation to try again.  Absent infidelity or abuse (emotional or physical) I don't understand why you can't work this out.  [/quote]
