I would like to ask everyone to keep my family in your prayers. After 18 years of marriage my wife has decided she no longer wants to be married.

This comes as somewhat of a suprise. We are an average family with all of
the average issues. Any thoughts of a divorce I really would have thought would be after the kids graduate high school, even then I had hope that we would grow old together.

Looks as if it is not going to happen.

I LOVE my kids and my wife, the hardest part to accept is the future and what it holds for my daughter and son. I have never been away any longer than my job has taken me since both were born.

I am hoping at least one of my friends or my prayers are answered and she decides this is not the best choice for any of us.

She for what ever unexplainable reason just does not want to be married and to have her freedom to do what ever she wants. Something I don't understand after eighteen years.

Thanks everyone for any prayers and encouragement you have to offer.

you will be in our prayers my friend! im really sorry to hear that... and to be honest with you i have no words...
but believe your family will be in our minds (Katia and myself!)
hope everything works out the way is meant to be.

Man....sorry to hear this. I hope everything goes well....I would hate to see you and you kids have to go through this.

holy s*** dude. im so sorry.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you both! I do not believe in the phrase,"its meant to be". Marriage is ups and downs and as you know it takes work!
Maybe she will be willing to go thru some counseling with you and maybe its a little space needed due to stress levels. What ever the case you Both need to keep the kids the top priority.Any way I can help,let me know, and I am here if you need to talk man!

Thanks guys and gals, words are few and hard to come by right now.

The kids for the moment are saddened but hell they are in a hell of a predicament and it is to be expected.

We are hoping to share joint custody giving the kids two weeks with me and two with their mom. I think this will be the best rather than fighting and causing more hurt to the kids.

Thanks for the prayers and support we will need much more in teh near future as things progress.

count with us my friend! we will be here...

You'll definitely be in my prayers, my friend. I'm divorced and know what it's like. Keep the faith, man.

Ah, that really sucks, man. I have 3 kids so I know you must feel uncertain about all of this. All you can really do is talk to her and find out what exactly changed to make her want out. If she has her mind made up, then you need to try to move on and put it behind you. I hope and pray you keep your sanity through these trying times. Just always be there for your kids no matter what happens. I wish you well, bro. Good luck.

i feel your pain man my wife left me last year for reasons i still don't no we are back together now but its not like it was i hope and wish the best will turnout GOD has the last say in all things keep ya eyes upon him in your darkest hour he will see u thru

Brother...I'm so sorry...it's never easy, your in my prayers

good luck i hope everythink work out but most of all keep ur head up ......

I want to thank each of you for your thoughts and prayers. Please continue to think and pray for us as things have not changed.

As hard as this seems to be, it is only my kids I worry about. The wife has made a very selfish choice and dragging them into it seems so unfair. I hope and pray they will come out on top and only become stronger young teenagers.

For me, I will survive the tide and roll back on my feet. You guys and all my friends have been so supportive and I know everyone will be in the future. I have accepted that times are going to be hard for a while and in the end, life will move on.

Again, Thank you,
Mick
