Wife cheated. Are there any negative ramifications if I move out and rent an apartment for 6 mos to a year before divorce? Does it matter if I move out before I file or after? Im in Texas. Thanks. 

Thanks

Something that has lasted since at least before last Christmas.  Do divorce laws lean in my favor at all if she has been unfaithful? She works from home and makes very little. I have a job and make much more. Texas. 

She's cheating on me. Just found the texts. I know you are all shocked. 

Most of the counsellors I've seen are around $100 a visit...doesn't seem too bad.  Yes, she said she would go.  I don't think she wants a divorce. 

Maybe so, but it sounds like you understand how hard it is to actually call it quits.  Mate you unhappily married? Divorced? 

I'm not looking for a reason to stay, I'm looking for ways we could become happy. Maybe there aren't any, but I'm not willing to throw in the towel without exhausting what appears to be very limited options (counseling). 

Yeah, be tried to get her out to do stuff with people but she mostly just wants to stay home. She did join some women's group/club thing but she hasn't done anything with them yet. 

Not sure why I can't quote a quote, but I am 99.99999 percent sure she isn't cheating on me. We moved to my hometown, she doesn't know anybody, and she works from home. She hasn't had many opportunities to meet anybody, and I don't believe she has the motivation at this point to go out and do...

Somewhat irrelevant, because she isn't attractive to me anymore - she isn't a whale, but the length of time it has been since there has been any physical interaction has really dulled this all for me. It has less to do with what her picture looks like and more to do with the lack of any...

She's 5'6 size 0 or 1 I'm 6'3, 230 - not huge but not in great shape Thanks. Regarding counseling, since it has been mentioned a lot, we talked tonight and agreed that we needed to do something. She wasn't a fan of the individual counseling, so I'm not sure if she will do that or not - but I...

Teacher/Coach from August-May, run a separate business that operates only in the summer.  Maybe so. If we go the counseling route, which we talked about today, we definitely won't waste another 5 years doing it, and we won't have kids.  Yeah, I know. 

I understand this sentiment for sure, and I don't necessarily disagree with it, but it seems like an extra 3 months doing everything to make it work wouldn't be the worse thing in the world.  She was a psychologist before she quit to start a business, so I'm not sure she will even go for...

Thanks for all the comments. Still a lot to sift through and think about.  For those who say counseling - would you recommend individual counseling with the same or different people? If the same person, is that who you would recommend also going to joint counseling with?  For those who say...
