hello all

my name is sofa surfer...

kinda says it all really...

i'm only a couple of months in...

my situation is that its a joint decision prompted by my wife when we just simply were not getting on, we were both wrung dry and could no longer go on.

i stayed on for a bit but had to leave as my position became untenable. I miss my kids, 2 girls, both teenagers.

I even miss my ex sometimes, then i think of the sofa's i have slept on in the last few months and the lawyers letters and the "i want all your salary" and "i want to keep the house" and i miss havin money, havin a home, havin stuff, I am alienated from my former life.

And it sucks! But it doesnt suck as much as what went before, at least in the last yearish...

anyroad, hi to all, good site, interesting forum, all sort of experiences...

cheers

Hi Sofa,
welcome to wiki.Sorry that you have to be here.
if there is no third party involved,have you tried counselling?it might not be too late for you.
What your partner s doing about money,tjis is fairly normal in divorce unfortunately.
You be strong,do not be bullied.Do what is right for your children.
hope you will find friendship ,support and advice here.
Chat is very good to pass the evening away.
Ask questions,there are some clever clogs here.
take care
