The h*** with SD and the broom she rode in on. But wife, could it be that she was overwhelmed and just grabbed wildly at any mode of attack (i.e., divorce)?
Yup! As long as I get out with my oersonal belongings, my grill and my guns, I'm a happy camper. They're welcome to the rest, the house and the attendant costs.
Curmudgeon, if the split happens, do you have any idea where you'd head to?
Since you love the Ozarks perhaps you can find a place there?
i think i recall your saying that your wife was bi-polar; apologies if i'm mistaken. if that is her diagnosis, could all the stress, change, and adjustment as a result of dau. and kids moving in be triggering a bi-polar meltdown, for lack of a better description? certainly any huge changes in living situation and routine can trigger a bi-polar response, and i'm wondering if this latest turn of events might be related to that. certainly if she is in the midst of a mood swing, erroneous thinking and behavior are earmarks of that kind of shift. i'm not a psychologist, but have personal experience with bi-polar behavior; structure and routine mean everything in keeping a stable mental state. certainly since the dau. and company arrived, it seems that there has understandably been a lot of chaos. i'm just wondering if her behavior is in response to that.
^^'Xactly. SD was catalyst for instability. You guys have been married 15 years. Were things that rocky that out of the blue now DW wants a divorce? Especially at your ages and stage in life. Comfortably and quietly retired. This is nuts. Counseling is in order. I'm not much of a believer in therapy/counseling for people our age, but DW needs help.

Could be but color me ugly, I'm about past caring. Too much drama and with SD's plans to settle locally it won't get any better any time soon. If the relationship/marriage is that fragile and so easily dismissed, who needs it?
I am feeling so bad for you C. I would hope you could stay by your lake. Your DW may be stressed out and I know I would be....but choose the daughter over a great guy like you...never. What a shame and I hope to read that you have made up, or at least found a great new apartment next to a very lovely single lady, lol.

NOOOOOO! No single ladies, lovely or otherwise. I'm done. Even my old college sweetheart (relatively newly single) won't have me nor I her.
She probably is doing you a big favor, this dysfunctional family issues will continue.....forever.
From the beginning I doubted that this entire situation wouldn't have a happy ending...however, divorce? Hmmm, that was a surprise!
