So your wife is taking off and sticking you with the kids, the house, the bills, etc etc etc....

This was me a year ago. She felt really guilty at the time and I knew that guilt would disappear fast. She moved out and signed divorce papers a few days later.

Thank god I didn't wait... as time has passed she's blaming me for this that and the other and finding nearly everything is my fault. The guilt is gone and it's turning to anger but guess what...

The divorce is done. I kept my pension, all the money and pay her the bare minimum in child support.

The guilt won't last fellows. If she wants out get it done fast; you won't get a better deal later.
