His Wife Keeps Dragging Out Their Divorce And Still Lives At His House, So He Wants To Have His Girlfriend Move In
Have you ever been stuck in a relationship that you simply couldn’t escape? Unfortunately, this guy knows the struggle all too well.
He’s currently married to his wife despite not wanting to be. In fact, he asked for a divorce about four years ago, and it still hasn’t happened.
At the time, he told his wife that he’d save up around $15,000 to give her before they officially split up. That way, she wouldn’t have to start over with nothing.
“I live in Texas, and I had a house before we were married, so it’s not up for grabs in the divorce,” he explained.
Then, just last year, his wife finally agreed to take the money and move out of his home. Yet, that was short-lived, as she apparently lied.
His wife never actually took the funds, and soon after she left, she came running back. On top of that, she claimed she was diagnosed with lupus.
For some context, she’d never worked throughout their marriage – despite him sending her to school on three separate occasions and her graduating every single time. Spoiler alert: this didn’t change after she found out she had lupus, either.
On the contrary, his wife has moved back into his home and stays there all day, every day.
“Mostly laying down or sitting on the couch while I’m home,” he detailed.

But amidst all of this, their marriage has been over in his eyes, and he moved on romantically around a year ago. More specifically, he already has a new girlfriend, and she is aware of his situation with his wife.
He has tried moving forward on finalizing his divorce, too. However, his wife keeps holding up the process.
“The divorce was officially submitted to the court. My lawyer keeps attempting to schedule a mediation, and she won’t agree to a time or date or anything to move the divorce along,” he revealed.
Now, whenever he and his girlfriend want to spend an evening together, they normally get a hotel room or rent an Airbnb.
Quite frankly, though, he is sick and tired of his wife dragging out their divorce – which is why, just the other night, he made a joke about how he and his girlfriend should have a slumber party at his house.
To his surprise, she was up for it as well, and now, he’s thinking about having his girlfriend move into his house – even though his wife is still living there.
He made it clear that he hasn’t kept secrets from anybody, meaning his wife is aware of his relationship with his girlfriend. Nonetheless, he knows that his wife isn’t thrilled about his girlfriend coming around.
“My wife has told me that she feels disrespected by me having [my girlfriend] drop me off at home, so this would be a major escalation,” he said.
That’s why he’s unsure whether having both his wife and his girlfriend under one roof would really be a good idea.
Why do you think his wife hasn’t left already? What advice would you give him?
