Lol on pop him on the snout. I have had a couple of those before but I would have sworn I was listening.

Communication plays an important role in a successful marriage and, to this end, listening is a key part it.

I’m fairly plain spoken and try not to make my husband have to guess as to what I’m thinking. Every once in a while, though, he “forgets” to listen…just forgets. When this happens, I have to roll up a magazine and pop him on the snout to make my point. Works every time.

True, but golf’s new post was still good stuff

It is bot spam.

edit: Just saw he joined in 2019. Looks like I'm wrong.

You need an attorney.

Don’t worry about the toys or other material things. Get a lawyer and while she is agreeing get the kid taken care of. After that I would agree to about everything as far as material things - it’s just stuff in the end. I would tell your wife you think it is best that the two of you go to a lawyer together and do the paperwork. Try to keep it uncontested- If she wants something give it to her- Even if the property split is off balance who cares in the end.

I've done this before, get a lawyer!

I know this thread is old, but maybe my experience can offer a different perspective. A couple of years back, my wife and I were drowning in mutual resentment. For example, she'd get frustrated with me always being engrossed in work, and I felt she was spending too much without understanding our financial constraints. Small misunderstandings snowballed into huge fights. The last straw was when we went on a vacation to rekindle things, but ended up arguing throughout.

She then came across this diagnosis for couples therapy and pleaded for us to give it a shot. I was cynical, thinking, "How can talking to a stranger help?" But in our first session, the therapist pointed out patterns in our behavior I'd never noticed. Like, when I'd drown in work, it was often out of anxiety, which I never communicated. On her end, she felt unheard, which led to her making impulsive purchases as a form of relief.

The therapy sessions were our mirror, showing us not just our individual flaws but also the strength of our bond when we actually listened. Slowly, those sessions became our safe space. Instead of accusations, we began understanding. And surprisingly, love found its way back.

I haven't read every response and I've never got a divorce but I've heard horror stories from friends. Tomorrow close out all your credit cards and joint accounts. Keep any money you take out of accounts, she's entitled to 1/2 of it but you can be left hanging for credit cards and no matter how civil she's being right now it just takes one wild spending spree to screw you good.

That has to be done before you file . Can get in trouble if you do it once you file . Learned that the hard way .
