A Consent Order is a legally binding document that finalises a divorcing couple's agreement on property, pensions and other assets.
nice to see some sense being posted by Chris & Sera. It seems that cheating has become acceptable, hell if you paint a dark enough picture of your partner your cheating on, you can even get help & sympathy.
"You can't help who you fall in love with" its a load of boll**s, i would never entertain a cheater, this is why there is no way back.
If my wifes carrying on with this guy from work, she is doing it by lying to me & my 5 year old lad, she goes out once a week & tells both of us where & who she is going out with, i'm not bothered & don't ask for explanations but since she got spotted over 2 months ago she likes to keep us both informed.Perhaps it ended before it really started, luckilly i got to see the person that my wife has become. I agree with Fiona, yes it is nice to stay amicable for the sake of the children, however how easy this will be remains to be seen. If someones done wrong by me, i don't do nice.
Chris, I think you just hit-the-nail-on-the-head!
Here's what I know. My female friend, (was really great mum, good wife, great housekeeper etc) has just spent the last six months having an affair with a long-distance lorry driver ('bit of rough').
He's rootless, sees her in a hotel room once a week, meanwhile she has a great husband, (and two wonderful kids)... then just today, she says she thinks she needs Bereavement counselling, she's lost both her parents within the last five years... and now admits that all her 'messing about' stems from feeling 'lost', out-of-control, life not making sense any more etc.... and her sexual antics are a direct result of her feeling hopeless, and abusing herself.
Also, since she's had two major losses, she fears allowing her husband close, (and has pushed him away), because ultimately - she fears losing him.
I think there's more to your wifes story, and despite your relationship having been good with her, you must not blame yourself. Maybe when she recognises she needs help, she'll seek it.
I'm being pushed aside too, my husband lost his wife, just a few months before meeting me, he's pushing me away without reason also.
Death does weird things to people. I'm not saying that's an excuse for treating you badly. But it could be a major trigger to the colapse of your marriage.
