Yep. My initial thought to reply to this post was something about your wife putting up with you for 40 years, lol. I am still curious who suggested the divorce, but it's really not any of my business. I will say if it's what you both truly want than it's probably for the best. Not all divorces are hate-filled, although many are. My parents' was pretty fair, imo, and amicable.

From a woman's point of view, if amicable is what you are hoping for, then I'd get the lawyer as everyone recommends, BUT I'd let her know up front that you intend to get a lawyer.... not because you don't trust her (even if you don't) but because there's just so much about the process that you don't understand that you're not comfortable proceeding without one. If she thinks you're not getting a lawyer, then finds out that you did, that'll likely set her off on the warpath and you can kiss amicable goodbye. Just my $0.02.

Well, that was interesting.

Listening to that will give you a STD……….Hearing AIDs lmao

Reading back through the posts it’s a majority verdict
