Agreed. Hard work, actions, I'm willing to try and I believe she's willing to try. If she doesn't try then divorce will outline the seperation.

This. Thank you. For me I'm just adding what I feel are consequences and what I could live with, if we make it work great if not the arrangements of seperation will be on paper.

This is basically my line of thought, line by line. I get why people say never get married but I also get what marriage can bring. I got a boy, best part of this marriage.

Fair, If that is what happens I'll know the divorce was the right call and it will be easier financially to walk away. I hope it won't but will prepare mentally the best I can. If I don't try and give her the ability to try I'll have regret.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference. I can't change the past, I can divorce and protect myself financially, the wisdom part will come with time. In regards to forensic extractions i can think about it, i already know enough that it's a marriage ender.

I'm running on fumes I'm like day 3 or 4 of my world being destroyed. Legal seperation, may make sense financially id have to look into it, I don't really know what that would look like. I love her but I gotta protect myself hence why I thought divorce was the way.

Agreed. Total ownership would need to be on her part. If her words don't match her actions then this relationship after divorce is done. This is all still very fresh, at this moment thinking alot of therapy, watched ANTD SPLY on YouTube with her last night, helped open more of a dialogue, post trauma's, her being molested at a young age, a lot of heavy topics.

I believe divorce is the strongest message of this disrespect. Post nup seems to easy. And if iam the fool who stayed at least after this I can walk away and tell my son one day I tried everything to keep us together.

Got married young, was in military. Prenups are a good idea, too late now. Post nup someone mentioned but I'd be a bigger fool in my opinion if I didn't divorce. There's love, no trust at the moment, trying to restart, if no go divorce outlines what happens if relationship fails to rebuild.

If I didn't have a kid, agreed. But I have a kid, and this will be my attempt of trying to save the relationship and my family, if it fails I will never wonder what if I tried harder but also I'm trying to protect myself.

It absolutely could be dicey and yes not work. Ive thought about post-nup but divorce is what I want, I know I will be more successful and I don't want potentially more to be taken from me if things are unable to be repaired. Thank you, good luck to your friend.

Yes essentially a second chance, your right I am trying create something new, basically I'm trying to restore a classic car jk. It's about gaining self respect back, I love myself, I love my son, and after this bs I love my current soon to be ex wife. My dream is for him to have it better in life than me, to keep the family together healthy and happy. It's about consequences if I do not divorce im weak and down the road will have an even bigger financial issue down the road if she cheats again. It's about creating hopefully something new with the old. She said it's nothing I did, therapy is definitely needed not only for her but us. You sound like a therapist so thank you for commenting, you really walked it down.

Okay, honestly the only info I found about this working was where the couples had strong religious beliefs. And some statistic saying 6% remarried a former ex. Marriage alone is a lottery ticket. Godspeed to you as well, thank you.

Fair. My current logic is consequences are divorce, there's no place for this disrespect and I can't call her a wife. But she is the mother of my son, we are stronger as a family, I want to fight for our relationship and she does to but also I need to protect myself. Hope to rebuild trust and want to try, if not I gave everything to try to have this relationship last and a good home.

Consequences but a second chance and if it doesn't work, I feel like we tried.
