Tell us how you first realized you had a problem.
Thought about it for a long time but was working away from the home most of the week ( truckdriver) so I thought I just wanted everything my way and I needed to adjust to her and the kids schedule. About 8 mos ago I got a job where i was home every night and now that I see the day to day goings on and how I am treated, I am pretty solid in my decision.
What did you do about it or if you have not done anything yet, why?
First discussed it and got no response, then went to a divorce atty and that got no response from her either. Finally her ma fronted her funds to move out. It took a year and a half.
