i am unable to find any active support group for couple going through divorce, especially for men. as a man, there is really no one i can confide in. i hope to seek advice from this forum.
my wife & i are married for 7 years. we have a 3 year old daughter. we live in an apartment that we bought together. we both love our daughter very much.
my wife has decided on a divorce, she will be seeing her lawyer to file next week. meanwhile she wants me to move out of apartment for good.
i do not want a divorce. in fact i tried to dissuade her for last few weeks but it clearly failed.
as last resort, yesterday night i wrote a long email & attach articles for her to consider “parenting marriage”. parents staying together in non-romantic marriage for practical reasons for raising a child. such a concept is practiced among couples in singapore i believe - mummy daddy staying together for the kid.
failing which, i may insist i do not move out of current matrimonial home. i get a common bedroom. wife cannot change door lock.
i am still paying my share of house instalments. house could not be sold for another 2 years w/o incurring seller stamp duties.
1. can “parenting marriage” work?
2. should i inisist not to move out?
thanks
