Need advice: How do you deal with wife's affair, divorce?

Nice investigative work 2MC ...

Winner winner, cherry in a shitcake dinner!

 

sorry ... I meant lugnuts. Either way nice job.

 

I asked my lawyer about it this morning. He said that in nearly every case, it means reconciliation, though it is highly unlikely but possible that something was just so screwed up with their divorce filing that they're petitioning to dismiss it so that they can re-file it. He said that's unlikely though as long as at least one of them had a lawyer, because the lawyer would know how to prevent that from happening, and I know loverboy's wife had a lawyer when she filed for divorce because it lists the lawyer's name. And besides, she's the one who filed for the petition for dismissal.

Plus, when you take into account all the odd, difficult-to-explain things wifey has said and done in the last few months, and the way that loverboy's reconciliation and a wifey-loverboy split makes sense of all those odd things, it just seems like the simplest, most likely explanation. Occam's Razor at its non-religious finest.

 

I'd even venture that not only has 'loverboy' reconciled with his wife... but he very much loves his wife.

That would be my bet in Vegas.

 

Not sure I'll ever know 100 percent. I'm not asking wifey, and I'm not sure how else I'd ever know for sure unless I happen to hear through the grapevine from somebody some day. This is good enough for me though, I'm taking it as done. It just makes too much sense of too many things that previously didn't make sense. Even separating myself from the extreme happiness this gives me and the fact that I so badly want it to be true, it just makes perfect sense of her behavior.

 

Oh sure. More gimmick bets. Did we not have enough of that for the Super Bowl?

 

I agree. I imagine that he realized just how much he loved her and his kids when he was staring down the possibility of losing her forever and losing them for big chunks of time. The question is whether she feels the same way, and that I'm not so sure about. Her trust in him has to be nearly zero, and how much can you love somebody whom you don't trust. But I think she probably realizes she does still care for him a great deal, and their relationship could become much stronger some day. But right now, I imagine she's very tenuous.

 

Maybe he went to rehab with Tiger and Steve down in Hattesburg and is now a new man.

 

Not, you're kind of scaring me here. Am I to believe that if wifey talks nice to you that a reconciliation is possible. Hey, if that is what makes you happy, I and others along here, have no problem with it.

 

I hope he does.
By the way, and it's off the subject but why must you be a complete asshole on this message board? Not is going through some tough shit but you come off like a complete dick. It's not needed but I guess you do what you do best. Carry on Ragu.
Unbelievable.
