Divorce sucks. Been through 3. A wiser man than me once said "You don't really know a woman until you divorce her" and unfortunately he was right. It'll get worse before it gets better but remember... if you pay child support you get to be a father to your children. Sell the shark to pay the atty and buy a 5-speed 928 in a few years. Good luck, man.

 

Hang in there Brian and fight for your kids. I'm praying for you.

As I don't know the details, I don't want to judge but I do know that in 99% of the cases if she is willing to divorce you, she ain't worth fighting for, no matter how hard that hurts to read. Start by trying kindness for kindness as some have said.

In the meantime you need to find a shark of a lawyer who can go on the offensive and make it incredibly difficult for her to proceed without coming to a fair compromise. You need to stop any inertia she has right now or it will become expensive. You need to make it just as, or more expensive for her to proceed. Unless she's got a lot of family money to fight, she may just back down. And if she does have family money, you need a lawyer who can figure out a way to sue for that so she also has to back down.

I emailed a lawyer I know in Austin to see if she knows anyone.

Try kindness for kindness but know sometimes you need show your (3000) teeth.

All good advice...PLEASE PROTECT yourself and your rights to the children. My brother took the high road thinking his ex wife would not do him that way...well..she did and he let her. She will not think higher of you, she will only think your a sucker... I'm sorry this is happening...but as others have said...this too shall pass.

 

Hang tough bro! Good luck.

 

Just look her in the eye and say "Till death do us part sweetie"

 

Brian, so sorry to hear this. All of the advice above is good advice. Take your time until the shock wears off, but don't waste time. Best of luck.

 

Brian, sorry to hear this. Hang in there and remember there are plenty of divorced people that are happy out there. This isn't the end. Those kids love their Dad and don't forget that one thing during all of this **** storm your about to navigate.
Stay tough and don't drop out of Rennlist.

 

I've been married to the same wonderful woman for fifty years this August but I can honestly say that I have a bit of an idea of what you are going through. Both my son and my daughter , ages in their forties, have gone through a divorce apiece. The good news is that they both found wonderful people in their second marraiges. Keep your chin up. Somewhere in the world is a lady that will appreciate you. Marraige is a wonderful thing when you do find the right one. Good luck.

 

Brian,

Sorry to hear of this bitter pill that life has brought you. Having "been there, done that" about 25 years ago, I'm sure that you will have many tough days, but if YOU do things right, things will get better. You have a lot of life ahead of you and there will be good times ahead in the future, just go through these darker days one at a time.

You may not live with your current wife in the future, but be sure you keep the kids and their future in your plans and life. Doing things that will lead to the best relationship for them with both you and your wife will allow you to be comfortable in the future that you did "all you could do" to keep things right. Couples who get caught up in fighting over little things can create a chasm that is hard to breach later. My best hopes and prayers are being sent for you and your family's future.

Gary--

 

So sorry about your issues. Keep the kids closer than anything else. I pray everything works out the best for you and your kids.

 

Brian, so very sorry to hear about this. Hang in there.

 

Keep your head straight Brian. Sorry to hear this, but there's plenty praying for you. Everything will work out and you'll end up better for it. No matter what, your beautiful kids will always be yours.

 

Hang in there man, I'll see if I can gather a small posse of 928ers to take a gander at your car later this week.

 

This came as a complete surprise to you?

Sorry to hear.

 

My first one did....not that unusual.
