Hello to all members, I'm just about to start the divorce process after being married for 38 years. The stress during the past 10 years has cost me my job, early retirement due to ill health caused by constant arguing over anything and a heart attack at the end of 2008. I just want to get out of this situation.

Sorry Peter, just replied to your other post about pension income but didn't see this one first.

Very sorry about your situation. This is a good site to vent your feelings and ask for advise.

38 years is a long time to be married and I can only imagine how you are feeling after such a lengthy time.

Come on here anytime you need support.

Hi Peter, it never ceases to amaze me at the length of Marriages that still fail.
Mine was short at 21 years compared to yours.
However, after all that time through financial difficulties and raising children, wouldn't you think we could have settled for a peaceful life together? Instead we have this stress and uncertainty for the future.

Hi again Peter.

What was it you wanted to say in your post above that has nothing in it?

It was to say thank you but I see there is a better way of thanking you at the side bar. Peter
