Help I think I'm getting divorced

It sounds like you might be paying alimony. You really need a lawyer. If they set up a non-modifiable alimony payment you will be at her mercy until she remarries or dies. Never agree to that unless you feel like you are going to make substantially more money in the near future. Please get a lawyer, you have friends in this that can help. Go here as soon as you can, they will help. PM if you have any questions. https://www.divorcelawyersformen.com/
 
My wife and I have agreed in principle to getting divorced today. I'm really overwhelmed and have no idea what step to take first though. We have a daughter who's 13 and I have a step son from her who's 19. We've lived in this house we've been renting for almost 8 years and have deep roots laid down here. We have a TON of stuff, just to start with.

Also I live in Colorado where the cost of living is skyrocketing. The whole thing is really intimidating. On one hand I'm kind of "excited" (I guess) to be "free", but I'm really scared of change too if I'm being totally honest. We have almost nothing in common and I haven't been attracted to her for nearly 10 years. She's really dishonest with money and makes next to nothing at her job, so whenever I let her have my card I only get it back when I throw a fit because I discover it's in the red with a bunch of overdraft fees, etc....

I don't even know where to start. Holy shit, I'm scared. What's the first step?
You have the most important thing In common, your kid.

Have you tried couples counseling and have either of u seen a therapist

My advice is go back in time and convince your past self never to marry your wife.

Seriously, there is a divorce attorney's office right next to my company's office, and one day a guy walked in there, started arguing with one of the attorney's, and then shot himself. I am not sure if he was a client, or his x-wife was a client, or what. Don't do that.

You should probably get a lawyer. Don't believe anything she says about it being amicable. She's gonna hose you as bad as she can just like every other woman in the world.

I did work for a guy who lost everything in a divorce. Except his horses. He had a ranch which she got. So he was homeless with two horses and she wouldn't even let him keep them at the ranch.

Yep. Women have no shame. She will lie, get a lawyer, and fuck you out of everything she can. Get a female lawyer. They know a little more about how women think (albeit not much because they don’t think), and it will look more favorable in court instead of looking like a couple of guys bullying a woman.
 
Are you calling TS’s wife a “ho”?

Pipe down, boy. You know nothing about marriage, and you’re not impressing anyone with your Mr. Cool Guy ignorant nonsense.

Ummm he was married before and burned pretty bad from what I gather. He’s speaking from experience.
 
I'd do exactly what TheWorm said, then add in what Reacheround said about the female lawyer.

This will sound harsh, but lawyer right away, and from day one let him know you want to fuck her over before she can do it to you. Whatever you need to, to get the upper hand. Save bills, record convos, key log the computer, because your chances of coming out of this unscathed are slim to none.
 
Have you tried staying together and just swinging?
<{ohyeah}>

What have you two done to save your marriage? Getting a divorce is the easy way out. Both of you need to stop being selfish and do what's best for your 13 daughter.
 
Fuck her lover she has on the side. That'll show her.

I’m such a spiteful asshole that I would fuck my wife’s man if she was cheating on me, just to get to her. I would take one for the cause. I might even give him the ol’ Jack Reacheround.
 
Make sure that before you leave, you impress upon her that she is overweight and unpleasant to the eyes. Make her question her intelligence by constantly reminding her that she is indeed a mental retard.
 
No, I am not @ripskater. You guys aren’t worthy of having Thee @ripskater on this forum!
Lol either you are rip or you are a rip dickrider either choice is ridiculous at best
