I Don't Believe In Divorce

It isn't me who wants one. I'm not so sure my wife does either. She has been batting it around. I really don't want divorce. I want simplicity, warmth and peace. Life beyond the thunderdome. I love her and always have. I pray there won't be one. If there is, it will be uncontested on both parts, but like I said, I love my wife. I'm just not the best husband a woman could have. I'm simple, I hate bars and clubbing, I'm more of a sunshine, peaceful and fishing type man. We just have our differences. I cannot become someone I am not, same goes with my wife I don't expect her to be like me.

Have you tried counseling? Is there another man involved? (If not...are you absolutely sure there isn't another man?) If you really want the marriage to endure, and she knows you really do love her, I would think you have a chance.

@greenmountaingal there is, but he is a backup man so to speak. She is seeking financial security, and I'm not the most successful type, i just do what i am able to handle, i have a part time job. When we met, i was on disability.

@SecondHomeByTheSea Not sure what you mean by a "backup man."

a boyfriend who is willing to have her if she leaves me.

@SecondHomeByTheSea If she is only with you because she is afraid to be alone...maybe you should let the boyfriend have her.

She must've known you were not materially wealthy when she met you. And...this is, after all, the 21st century. So...can't she make some money herself?
