everytime i hear this question the first answer is sex and the truth is that all i ever wanted was things to stay the same and for my wife to do something a little special to show that there's still a spark there.  We are divorced now cause it started being nothing more than a friendship and we are still friends but we lost the spark that makes everything work.

The biggest problem in bad marriages is usually the lack of conversation.\n\nWhen people can use a bible, and start condemning everything outside their window, then at least they will never have lack of conversation.

Like I said in your previous q's, it is pretty stupid.  If you were going to get a divorce anyway then why didn't you get a divorce first before going back into the dating scene?  The reason I said to divorce first is to avoid the very complication you are in now, which, as you stated, your wife wants to get back with you.  \n\nAlso, keep in mind that you are not being fair to the person you're seeing.  You are dragging her into your drama.   If you want to date other people you should start with a clean slate.  Divorce first.

Whatever the emotional reasons may be, the reality of the combination of modern economics and law is that a man is far more likely to suffer an irrecoverable and substantial financial injury if the marriage is terminated by dissolution/divorce.\n\nMost women will not marry if a man requests a premarital agreement waiving the woman's right to the man's property and support, so marriage, to quote a Caliornia appellate court judge, is a "high stakes gamble...", because the vast majority of marriages do not survive the lives of the respective spouses.\n\nUntil such time as the laws surrounding marriage undergo substantial change, marriage will remain an incredibly risky venture for any man, except in the occasional instance where the woman's assets and earning capacity are considerably greater than the man's.\n\nBut, of course, it is a rare event indeed where this last event actually occurs. So, men do have a very good reason to be frightened of marriage.

mostly lust today, thats why the divorce rate is so high, 40 years ago it was love and people stayed married 50 and 60 years.

probably better to ask a marriage counselor : ) it could be lots of things, some which are "fixable", some which aren't.

Most of answerers have no idea.\nIn most states the cause of the divorce doesn't make any difference.  Cause is so subjective, the courts don't want to deal with it. A lawyer may make a difference in a complicated case but usually it comes down to the numbers.\nHow long you were married.\nHow much money do you both make.\nHow many children do you have.\nBased on this information the judge uses a standard calculation to determine the amount of child support and/or alimony.\nI have been through the system and pay both child support and alimony.  The alimony is usually for a defined period on time depending on the duration of the marriage and difference in earning power. \nNo system is perfect.\nIf you think it is unfair for you, go to see a couple of lawyers for a quick consultation about modification of the court orders.\nMy experience is often the costs associated with the proceedings are not worth any gain you may get.\nYou could do it yourself but be aware that your ex maybe get you to pay her attorney fees if the judge believes your case was not reasonable.\nI suggest you ask yourself if you are comfortable at the moment financially, if you are, it's probably better to do nothing.  If not, then at least talk to a couple of lawyers.\nGoodluck.

The destruction of the traditional family.  Too many divorces and too many children born out of wedlock.

1.  Do not believe in divorce.  Make it not an option, not even as a last resort.\n\n2.  You must put each other and each others feeling before all else.\n\n3.  You must BOTH be completely willing to communicate and completely willing to talk about problems that either of you feel you have.

Such a good question. I think the most important things in a relationship are friendship and trust. Passion comes and goes and if you're not friends and don't trust each other... you'll get a divorce eventually. So I vote for reason!(You do have to love the guy of course :)
