wife and i seperated in february. we have 2 children. marriage on rocks for a long time, although i never quite saw all this coming as much as she did. would love to give it one more go but she doesn't want that. we are trying to keep things amicable for childrens sake and think we are doing this but its not been easy. normal complications about who did what and when and who gets what and where etc...neither of us want to go to expensive solicitors and get a divorce. She mentioned that after 2 years of seperation if both parties consent then you can get a divorce on these grounds. But does anyone know is it as simple as just signing a bit of paper etc, ie no cost/no fuss. Also if anyone has any general advise how to win the love of your life back then Im all ears...thanks

Hi,

Your wife is correct, you can divorce after 2years of seperation with both parties consent - my husband consented then afterwards realised his mistake! I used www.quickie-divorce.com, easy and cheap!

If you feel as you do then you should really make the effort with your wife now but if she doesn't want it then you will be wasting precious time. I wonder if because you now realise it's all becoming final you are panicking about your future. My Ex just signed the papers, did his own thing, moved me into my new home, did his own thing all summer, set my son up with a business abroad and encouraged his younger brother to go out also so I was home all alone then.....when I met someone else........hassle, admitted he had been stubborn for years with me, didn't give me enough attention etcetera etcetera, hassled me with texts and phone calls in the early days of my relationship and I was so reasonable and caring (too much), how my new partner put up with some of it I dont know! However, now he has his new partner, only takes calls from me when he wants to!

Basically don't waste precious time chasing something that just isn't there any longer.

We were married for 27 years and 4 children. Luckily they just want us both to be happy, would have preferred us to stay together but have all managed to accept the situation and I do feel so so lucky and so pleased I made that move.

Good luck
