Wow, I completely disagree that someone has to be imprisoned in a marriage because the other person hasn't committed a recognized offense.
Am I wrong?

Since the marriage commitment was created to protect children you better have a dang good reason to get out of it when children are involved.
I'm sure everyone who does it feels like they have a very good reason. Forcing them to prove how good their reason is to people whose culture and values may be different, or it might just be that their perspective is different, otherwise forcing them to continue a marriage with a human being they don't want to be married to is sick and wrong. No less.
Is it still legal to force your wife to have sex with you in some states?
Anyway, what constitutes cause? Sounds like a can of worms we don't need big government getting involved in.

I hate to break it to you but it sounds like she used you to support her and the kids while she went to school to become self sufficient, and get bigger boobs. I doubt she had any intention of staying in this marriage. She probably has had a stud on the side this whole time.
Wow. Little low, PW.
I hate to weigh in because I know Chris personally....
But my guess is everything has been fine for a long time but recently some guy started sweet talking... and I think she had a friend (girl) that was a poison. I feel dirty because none of this is my business (Chris didn't ask us to speculate in this way).

It really ain't about the selfish ******* anymore once he/she chooses to have kids within the marriage.
The government is involved in the first place in order to protect the kids.

The last part or the whole thing?
Maybe you didn't mean it that way but it seemed a little harsh.

Divorce is a harsh subject, but no I wasn't saying it just to say it.
I think it is important to look into possible motivations before you enter negotiations.
The same thing happened to my brother-in-law. He lived with his HS girlfriend for a while, got married, and lived happily for several years. One day he tells us he's getting divorced. Turns out she got some new friends and started hanging out with them. They poisoned her into thinking all sorts of nasty crap about him that simply was false.
