[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where’s the fire OP? What are you trying to accomplish at your age that another six months is going to genuinely affect? You clearly want the divorce and your wife doesn’t. That happens all the time. So this is where the rubber meets the road: give her a continuance and let her know this is her opportunity to find representation and if she does not, she’ll suffer the consequences. You don’t have to live in an unhappy marriage. But there are lots of ways to exit a marriage without swinging a bat on your way out.

You can explain all this with kindness to your daughter, and if you’re genuine, your daughter will see that. If you are leaving a stay at home mom high and dry in her 60s who is about to live at the poverty line, it doesn’t matter what you do with the continuance because you’ll lose your kid.

[b]FWIW, my dad left my mom for his AP.[/b] My mom is now remarried and living a great life. Dad was married a P until she died of a chronic ill illness many years later. Everyone would say that everyone moved on in my family and got along great. Privately, I will tell you that I grew up watching my mom lay on the couch on NYE and I’ve never forgiven my father. Have I moved on? Sure. I wasn’t given a choice. But he’s a selfish man, full stop.[/quote]
Why do I think that’s the same thing op is planning on…[/quote]

probably.

that's why the OP only selectively responds to posters, not the ones asking WHY THE DIVORCE? [/quote]

OP here. I filed for divorce on grounds of adultery, cruelty and constructive desertion.  W had a several affairs, the last with a partner at the former law firm where she worked.  That office romance blew up in her face.  She was fired from her job, partner had to leave the firm.  That answer enough? [/quote]

You're crazy if you think you're not a big part of the problem.  She went out looking for validation because you were unwilling to provide it to her.  You need to work on yourself, not worry about what your wife is doing.  Why don't you help her overcome these events instead of trying to punish her?
