Needing advice.

[Texas fan in Georgia]

I hate to bring this to OTF, but I’m truly looking for guidance, has anybody been through divorce? My wife recently informed me of her intentions which was completely out of no where for me. I feel weird even asking this here, but if I’m being honest, I really have no where else to turn. We were together 8 years, have a child together and I’ve been her daughter’s father for these 8 years.  Just looking for guidance . If not allowed please delete

I’m sorry to hear that, brother. Marriage is hard. I don’t have any advice, but just wanted to offer my solidarity and good wishes. I hope you make it through this.

Very sorry to hear that. I've only seen friends and in-laws go through a divorce. My observation is that you need the meanest attorney you can afford. And probably a counselor to help with the emotional issues. Believe that, in time, you'll be fine.

Thanks man. I hope I do too. Definitely wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I don’t have any advise even after watching almost all of my friends go through the same thing. Just stay strong and rest assured you did everything you could. 
 

As I’ve told all my friends tomorrow is a new day.

I’ve been through a divorce, we didn’t have kids but it was definitely a surprise when she told me too. DM me and I’m happy to discuss further.  Sorry you’re going through this. Definitely tough.
