His Soon-To-Be Ex-Wife Wants To Reconcile Their Marriage After Getting Little Money In Their Divorce, But He Thinks It’s Too Late
This 31-year-old man is in the process of divorcing his soon-to-be ex-wife, who is 28.
The process has been extremely long and painful since they were together for nine years and married for seven years. Yet, for the last three years, they have been separated.
Throughout their marriage, he never felt like his wife treated him like her husband. He claimed that his wife’s parents and other family members always came before him.
“And no matter what I would say or do, she wouldn’t change,” he recalled.
And a few specific instances really showed him how little his wife cared about him.
One time, when he had a broken leg, his wife yelled at him for days on end– telling him to clean out the garage even though he was unable to even walk.
Another time, his wife made him walk to get his car out of the shop because she refused to wait about 15 minutes to go to her mother’s house.
“If she didn’t take me, I wasn’t able to get my car,” he explained. “Those are just two of many similar situations.”
So, over the years, he apparently begged his wife to start treating him like a partner instead of just an accessory.

He tried to be extremely open about how her behavior was impacting him, and he also set aside specific times to talk about their issues.
And he admitted that he is not the kind of person to bottle feelings up and let them build. That’s why he told his wife that if her behavior continued, then he would file for divorce.
Spoiler alert: his wife never changed, and they ultimately separated three years ago.
To him, the worst part was just feeling like he was with someone who still made him feel alone. Moving forward, he never wants to deal with that type of relationship again, either.
However, now that their divorce is nearing completion and they are coming up on their final hearing, his wife has all of a sudden asked to talk about their relationship.
She swears that she has worked on her habits, but he feels like she might just have an ulterior motive.
Apparently, his wife asked for a ton of money in their divorce, and she did not wind up getting really anything.
That’s why he told his wife that if she really wanted to reconcile their relationship, then she could have tried to do that during their divorce agreements.
“Instead, she was trying to squeeze as much money out of me as she could. I feel like that’s the only reason she’s trying to [reconcile],” he admitted.
Still, he feels bad about not trying to reconcile– because, due to his wife’s religion, she is not able to get remarried.
“But I just can’t put my mental health at risk again,” he vented.
So, he’s been left feeling torn and is now wondering how to deal with this situation.
Do you think his wife could have changed and wants to fix their relationship? Or does it seem like her efforts are too little, too late? How would you feel in his shoes? What would you do?
