Question:
I just need help how to survive this period of time. We had been married for 8 years. i live in his country which is foreign to me, i have no family here and no support. My 18 year old daughter just left to study to another country and we are very much connected. i miss her so much that I had not stopped crying since she left which is now 3 days. my husband chose this moment to ask for divorce. i feel my whole world is falling apart. i also cannot financially
survive on my own. I know all this will pass, but how can I survive it? I still love him and cannot imagine life without him, but he is firm and decided that there is no more us. I have no friends that I could talk to, we have been in this country not long enough. i feel like there is no life anymore and I am completely out of my mind.
AnswerEvery night before you go to sleep, express your gratitude for 3 things in your life... maybe your beautiful, healthy daughter... or a house to shelter you, or a good dinner... something....
Try to get involved with some community association, take a course perhaps, or invite a neighbor to your place for tea, or volunteer to help a person in need. You may not feel like having social interaction, but it's SO very important. Plus, you may meet a person who can help with your money situation. Don't expect to make new friends immediately, it can take a long time, but it WILL happen.
You are a beautiful, good person - tell yourself that, and BELIEVE in it. I think we can all make a positive difference in this world, and there are so many opportunities available to us.
Try meditation every day, to clear your mind, that may help to stabilize any emotional swings.
Best wishes to you,
T.S.

divorce in a foreign country
I'm going thorough a very similar situation, I've been married for 25 years!!! And I stayed at home (moving around teh world for my husband's work)raised two great boys, now young adults. He wants divorce now, he met a younger woman, and I really would need legal advice (in Canada) about how to protect my future financial situation. I do not work (we are still living abroad). what do I do?
he is offering to buy furniture as i pack up...
My husband of 11 years has had an affair and has told me he wants a divorce. anyway, as I am packing things up he is saying, "leave that and I'll buy it from you." (these are things I don't care if I take with me, I need the money more than anything.) this morning I noticed he had put a picture back up on the wall and when I asked him why he said I told you I wanted to buy that from you. So my question is what do I do, as he says he wants something stand there with my hand out asking for payment then?
Nearly The same thing
Nearly The same thing happened to me my husband want divorce but his mind got converted and our marriage is secured.

Same here, I am going
Same here, I am going through very tough time right now. I live here for 8 years, and married for 5 yrs. Have 4 children, and my marriage is falling appart. How did we get here? Nothing significant happened, simply we grew apart, lost trust in each other, and in general - desire to be together I guess. My husband became a very successful businessman, while I was having baby after baby. I love my kids more than anything, at same time I was stay at home mother, who respect that? Or appreciates? Maybe I'm wrong, but that's exactly happened to my marriage. I tried my best not to become boring house wive, managed my time to be sure everybody gets a "piece of me", but my husband obviously was not happy enough with what he had.
I'm trying to really to my very best to keep myself together, and not to loose my mind, but since this country is foreign to me, I did not have time to make a lot of friends, my family is in another country.
It is so sad and scary at the same time, I don't know how to survive this divorce. I know I'm not alone, but it does not help me somehow, I'm starting to panic.
It almost amazes me that
It almost amazes me that sometimes saving your marriage isn't even thought of by the man who usually causes the divorce in most relationships. After so many years with someone to bring it to an end is pretty sad. To the lady's who's husband wants to buy all that stuff take him to court and get half of what he has.
I am so touched to read this
I am so touched to read this article. How come some men b so heartless?? How could he choose a time like this to let u know that he wanted divorce??!! in my opinion, u should step out of this life. there r opportunities to live without his help and u have to find it out. May b it will b difficult at first, you will live with dignity.

First Steps
Now that the children are grown, his mother has passed away, and he's close to retirement, my husband has informed me that I'm "an unneccessary burden" because I don't have a job, and he doesn't want to support me anymore. For 21 years I have been a stay at home mom, taking care of the kids, and his,....yes, his mother. I've seen a lawyer, and she very informative and helpful. I'm still not real clear on the process. I've decided to move down to my daughter's for a while to get some distance. He knows I'm going. I'm supposed to go to the support office and fill out some papers the day before I leave. That part he doesn't know. Today, my husband says he wants to make me an "offer." He wants to file. If he files, will it affect my support paperwork. And, question #2. He wants to give me a "down payment" on the settlement of $10,000. With the rest to be settled later. Does the support payments he'll make come out of the end amount settlement or is it in addition to it? Should I take this "down payment"? Or will it affect the weekly support? If so, would it be better or worse? My first instinct is to tell him no. Frankly, I don't trust him. This is his second marriage and my first. He knows what he's doing, I don't have a clue. I do know I don't trust him anymore. Does anybody have any advice on the support vs offer? And if he files, will it mess with my filing the support forms?
Counseling and interventions
Counseling and interventions from outsiders such as therapists, or in some situations, a parenting coordinator or guardian of the children, becomes necessary.Maybe Tiger Woods got the idea to run around on his wife from one of his exes. It turns out he used to go out with Leann Rimes, who herself was a well known adulteress. You know, if you aren't ready to stay faithful to somebody you should not get hitched, or date at all - period. It isn't as if it's really THAT hard, either. I hope both of them end up sprinting for payday loans if either gets in a divorce. Dante maintained that the deepest circle of Hell was reserved for betrayers.
