My dad did a similar deal when he got divorced from his 3rd wife but what baffled me is that he tied the knot 5 more times!!!
Maybe he liked the honeymoons?

Well my story is quite the opposite - she was vindictive - so I thought I'd share.
After 6 years of marriage, and 2 daughters, she tells me that we're going to a marriage counselor or I have to move out. I agreed to counseling and we scheduled the meetings.
1 - this was apparently a tack to show me "unwilling" to work on it - or to get me to move out, to which she could claim abandonment and get alimony on top of child support.
The counseling lasted a whole (3) sessions . . . the day of the (3) session, I got the mail when I got home from work and there was a letter from an attorney addressed to her. She had already sought council and was already making plans. At the third meeting she stated that she no longer wanted to be married and that she wanted a "fair and equitable" divorce . . .
2 - My attorney "advised" me to never, under any circumstance, spend the night anywhere but at the house.
She called her mom to come and help with the kids. She had not worked while we were married, and now took on a job. She told me that her mom was going to stay at a friends house, and come to the house in the morning to watch the kids. That lasted a total of (0) days - her mom lived at the house with us. For your information, if you're told you only have 6 months to live, ask your mother in law to move in . . . it'll be the LONGEST 6 months of your life. She kept refusing to sign the agreement, and I "had" to stay at the house - my attorney asked her 6 times to sign a waiver to allow me to move out and not file claim for alimony - she refused. She would leave apartment finders under my door with a note to find one and move out - "they" did not want me there. I could hear her and her mom saying nasty things about me upstairs in my room - my girls were downstairs watching TV - so they heard it all. After 6 months of "negotiations", she signed the paper work on a Wednesday . . . I moved out of the house by Friday. Had my girls for the first weekend, returned them to the front door of a house that I no longer felt welcome and left. Went into work Monday morning and was terminated.
The (3) most stressful things in life:
1. Loss of someone
2. Getting terminated
3. Moving
I experienced them all in the span of less than a week - best year of my life ! ! !
Yes - it does make you stronger.
After I moved out she stated ( did not ask ) - You're going to come by every week and cut the grass. On, yes dear . . .
So sorry to hear that, keep your chin up, it always gets better...
That's behind me and in the past . . . I'm much better off now !
Thanks . . .
Sorry to hear all of that man and yes it does sound horrible. Glad you are taking it well and wish you the best!
good to hear you doing well...
