He And His Wife Are Planning On A Divorce, But After He Mentioned Being Ready To See Other Women, She Suddenly Wants To Stay Together
This 35-year-old man and his 36-year-old wife have been together for 12 years, and their entire time with one another has been a rollercoaster.
The topic of divorce has come up multiple times throughout their time together, but a year ago was the last time that came up.
He and his wife came to the decision “mutually” to get divorced and his wife appeared to be 150% for it. His wife even hounded him to talk to a lawyer and get an agreement made for them to go their separate ways.
“For months after we agreed on this divorce I made it very clear to her that once I pay a lawyer we’re going through with this…she was insistent,” he explained.
So, he followed through with hiring a lawyer to make them an agreement they could both get behind.
His wife then held onto the agreement for the next 8 months without signing it or doing anything to move their divorce forward.
His wife’s financial status and job were both pretty poor at the time, so he thought that as soon as she found a new job she would completely sign the agreement.
Now, he and his wife also have a child together, so he wasn’t trying to hurry her out the door. Anyway, during those 8 months, his wife kept speaking about new jobs she was trying to get and apartments she had found to move into.
Also during this time, he and his wife started to get along much better and basically became friends. But then a couple of weeks back, his wife quit speaking to him for 2 whole weeks.

“In that time I decide it’s been over a year, if she won’t talk to me I’m going to start speaking to other women, it’s been long enough,” he said.
“I tell her I’m going to start seeing other women and she totally does a 180 on me. “I never really wanted to get divorced, what issues can I fix, etc”. At this point I can’t honestly say I don’t love her anymore as anything more then a friend; after a year I’ve made my peace with getting a divorce.”
Then, his wife made him create a list of all the problems he actually had with staying with her.
So, he did just that. He made her a list, and on there was arguing, his wife complaining about where they live, the fact that they don’t have a physical relationship, and her weight gain.
His wife looked at the list of problems he had with her, and she promised that she would change every single thing.
For the next week, things were pretty good, and she stuck to her word about fixing the issues he presented to her.
“However it’s already been dropping off,” he continued. “In this time I’ve already started talking to a few women on some dating apps, I even met one for a date, although that didn’t turn into anything.”
“I really want things to work out with my wife, she’s a good person, but I don’t feel the love anymore and I’m worried she is just changing tune because I’m finally moving on. I feel if I stay with her things will slowly return to how they were. Should I continue to try to make things work with my wife?”
