desperate Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 So now I got my wife to agree to a separation. We agreed that 12 months seems like sufficient time to make any kind of life altering decisions--divorce. I need to hear from others... Is separation just a long drawn-out break up? Is it a good sign that my wife agreed to it? Does it mean that even though she is convinced that she wants a divorce, that she is open to possibilities? Could it be that she simply feels sorry/guilty for leaving me and she wants to give me time to get over it before she does the deed? I know everyone is different, but I would like to hear some stories about separation. Some opinions from anyone who has heard my story would be nice too... Thanks!
LadyX Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 Where I live, by law you have to be separated 12 months before you can get a divorce. I believe if you have agreed to separate, then it's probably already over. I don't know of too many people that have gotten back together after that length of time, if they have, then it's pretty rare.
Author desperate Posted October 10, 2003 Author Posted October 10, 2003 Where I live, there is absolutely no requirement of separation for divorce... We could file and be divorced in as little as 60 days if all was uncontested. That is a rather grim outlook on the situation, maybe I am just sugar-coating some terrible news so that it is easier for me to swallow? Has anybody out there ever gotten back together after a legal separation? Now I am VERY interested to hear some opinions........... Thanks!
LadyX Posted October 10, 2003 Posted October 10, 2003 I hope someone can give you more hopeful advice than I can. I told my husband we were just separating temporarily just to get him to sign the papers. I had to trick him, because he was very abusive. I don't know your situation.
