Hi. I am a lost soon to be single mother. My husband of 4.5 years let me know last night that he is filing for divorce. We have a 2.5 year old boy and I am 32 weeks pregnant with a little girl. No one cheated, no one didn't anything "wrong." He says we just aren't the couple he thought we would be and he didn't like the road we were going down. I spend too much time with my family and he hates my mom. He knows all the proper steps and such, he is a lawyer.
Hi! I am sorry you are going through this. Have you guys been having problems? His reasoning stikes me as odd, it seems almost like a cop-out. If he doesn't like the road you guys are going down why not try to fix it? The best advice I have for you is to not let him intimidate you by him playing the "I am a lawyer" card. If he does file and is serious about this find a lawyer yourself so that you get from this divorce what you deserve to have, such as child support and all that. Good Luck!
Wow! I'm so sorry. I know being pregnant makes this even harder, a lot of us, including myself, know what it's like to be "dumped" while pregnant, but I never married my daughter's father, thank GOD!
I'm new here, too, and would like to be your friend, if you'd like.
His reasoning is odd, marriage is about compromising and working things out. Sounds like this guy doesn't understand the committment he made to you and your growing family when you were married!
I had problems with my ex because of my closeness with my family, too, but aren't we lucky to have our moms and family in times like these! You need all the support you can get and I want you to know that your ARE NOT ALONE!
