 Too poor to fish
For months now many of you on here have said that I need to fish or cut bait.
That my wife and I have been driving each other insane and we need to stop, and I agreed and sat and did nothing.
Well that time is sort of over but really...not
Last night she said that maybe I should look into the mediator idea, see if that is something I really am as sold on.  It is the least expensive way to do this all.
So I called 
My thought being that I want all these better things in my life to happen and if I have something that keeps dragging this down I can't...
 So I call and get a very nice woman on the phone that explains how it all works, answers many of my fears, and I am willing to try this.
She sees that maybe NQRW might make this a bit more expensive with her "I guess.." way of thinking, but that the attorney is schooled in this all and is basically going to get her moving off the dime.
And it can all be done for about 1500 a piece.
I can get that money, it will hurt, but I can.
But she can't and when I tell her I called all I get is crying, but she told me to call, and when I tell her the fee she cries more...
So I am where I was...because I can't just pay my 1/2 and let her be billed...I can't afford the whole 3 grand (and remember this is the cheap way short of a way where we file and she will not agree to that as she is sure I will outsmart her!)
So we are where we were, when I woke up late this morning and was asked why was I getting up already and then was told that she did not sleep all nite because I refused to hold her.  
I didn't
But frankly I think it sends a weird message
but if it helpd her sleep I will do it....

Then when we talk all she does is cry
because all she wants is me to the old me and I aint that guy no more(sic)!

So I guess I bring back the boat and wait .

why not go the do it yourself route? If it's mutually agreed upon that you two should divorce... why pay the big dogs? I'm sure you can file you're own papers, just do some research as to what those papers are.... granted if you can't agree, well then yeah... you're going to have to sit in that damn boat. :)

WK..I am so sorry to read the pain in this post. This will be a difficult process for both of you. Though you have mentally and emotionally moved on..you still care for her and don't want to hurt her. Her asking you to call..is so very different than you actually making the call. Women are such emotional messes most of the time..and you have a perfect example of that in this post. You have to remember that she is not only losing you as her husband..but a dream is dying. It is obvious that she leans heavily on you, and this is probably really scary for her. You are a very patient man and the only thing I can say advice wise..is keep moving forward. Go for this divorce so that both of you can find your sanity again. Carefully separate yourself from her with the least bit of arguing possible. Remain strong in your effort, because truly you and she deserve your happiness. It is obvious that happiness no longer can be found with each other.

In Tn. you can get a no fault divorce where you represent yourself for like 500.00. You go to Staples and buy the paper work and draw it up..both of you have to agree on everything..and then present it to a judge. You might look into that. It would be cheaper..and from the look of things..you are going to have to discuss all of this stuff in detail anyway.

I am going to say a little prayer for the both of you that this process goes quickly and that it becomes less painful. You are in my thoughts.

peace :) shemelts

When I got divorced, we got the papers through legalzoom.com for 250 bucks. Then we filled them out together so that we knew neither one of us was trying to do anything sneaky. They give explicit directions as to what papers to file together and when, and the entire process. We never even saw a judge, and it cost s 300 a piece at the courthouse. If you could get her to trust you, this would be a much cheaper option.
