I really understand how you feel.
Your situation is so similar to mine, I found evidence that she was cheating on me after 23 years of marriage but she denied it too. Her lover is considerably younger and married with 2 small children. I thought really hard about telling his wife but decided I could not because she has major health problems and has been told that she will not live long enough to see her 2 children grow up!
What a great husband she has got!
Somehow she found out anyway and after splitting up for a while they are now back together. Don't know if he is still carrying on with the stbx, don't care either. I am just glad to be away from it.
I can only say that if she had not got the health problems, I would have told her. If the shoe was on the other foot, I would rather be told than to find out the way that I did.

With regards to your question, in the Affidavit it questions if you have lived at the same address as the respondent for a period of more than 6 months since filing for divorce,share a bedroom,take your meals together etc.
You can take action immediately so long as the above are not applicable.
I moved out of the marital home and immediately made an appointment with a solicitor for free half hour consultation and took his advice. Froze all joint bank accounts and filed for divorce on the grounds of unreasonable behavior. I decided on these grounds because the sol told me that if I went for adultery I would need concrete evidence like a photograph of them 'in action'! Failing this, I would have to rely on the chances of her owning up to it which basically was not going to happen.
To divorce on the grounds of UB you have to give about 6 examples. I had about 12 to choose from and they all indicated that she was having a sexual relationship with another man. Some of the examples were in the form of photocopied love letters and dirty valentines cards etc. Having this evidence, she could not really dispute it so she has accepted the grounds for divorce and although the word adultery is not used it is suggesting the same thing.
She has now received the divorce papers, signed and returned them.

Darn. Looks like I have 2 out of the 3. I don't know if the fact that she is not there half the week will help. Still in the MH although in separate rooms as we are having a "separation". Looks like I'll have to move out for 6 months, then file.

You don't need to be separated for 6 months before you petition for divorce. If you read through the info in the drop down box at the top of the main page it will lead you through the steps involved.

Good luck

Hi Dunno

It all sounds soooo familiar!!!

if you feel that your marriage is beyond rescue and you have tried all that you are prepared to do then forget about her and her new boyfriend and concentrate on your self and your children if you have any, get your personal finances in order then apply for a divorce based on unreasonable behaviour, do try and sort every thing out amicably, it will save you a fortune in the end!!!
