So I was having lunch today with my wife, and we were talking about buying a house. Things have not been great at all in our marriage for the last two years... not great at all.
Anyway, we were talking about the minor league football team that was listed for sale on eBay for $100,000. I asked her, jokingly, if she had $100k to loan me to buy the team. She said that if she had a $100k, she would not need me to help her buy a house.
Whoa.
So I ask her if that is the only reason why we are married - so she could have a house. She did not answer, stating matter-of-factly, that I could not possibly be any more happy about our situation than she is.
Truth is... I'm not.
I've spent the better part of the afternoon fighting back tears, wondering if this is it. I have not been the best husband, and I recognize that. She could also have been a loving and supportive wife, too. We have been together for 13 years, and the last two have been pretty bad.
Is it worth saving?
You have no children and .You aren't happy, she isn't happy and you've both been feeling miserable for a few years with no improvement on the horizon. She's willing to walk away taking only what she earned and it sounds like the split would be reasonable
and civil, you divorce,go your separate ways and never have to cross paths again.Why are you here instead of in a lawyer's office?
