Update
My wife asked for a divorce this week. We have talked a lot. Mostly me being surprised and shocked and devastated. I thought our marriage was strong. Neither of us stepped out as far as I know.
She told me that she wanted a divorce due to feeling abandoned while i went to nursing school. She told me that a couple of years ago when i was in the heart of school she felt like i abandoned her. We spoke about it the time. I told her I was exhausted with school but when i finished school I would do anything to work on our marriage. I thought we were ok and able to handle the year and a half left. After school I started working a lot. We had some debt to pay off and garnishments. I told her that I would pay the bills and garnishments and she could pursue what she wanted. I wanted to do that because she supported me through school and she was my wife.
Well we talked again today and she admitted that when she go lonely when I was in school and working she felt abandoned and checked out. I should mention I attended school that was about 1.5 hours drive from my home and was going there 3-5 days a week for about 1.5 years. Anyways. I cannot believe she gave up. We are currently getting ready to sell our house (which is gonna get ugly) and after that we will be done.
So sad that our plans for the future killed our marriage.
