Can anyone give me some insight on why after it was my husband's decision to leave me because of my illness and go back to his ex-wife (only for financial reasons because he couldn't stand her that's why he divorced her in the first place), I was the one who filed for divorce since he wasn't filing. When I sent him the divorce papers he threw them out and told me he wasn't signing them. I don't get it. I was just wondering if anyone understands this type of behavior.

Is he trying to exert control over everyone? It is difficult to see how love is motivating his actions. Good luck and be careful with your heart.

Is there money and property involved??

i don't know what State you are in, but he doesn't have to sign in some States for you to divorce him. If he throws out the papers, then the divorce is "non'contested" and you get everything you requested. So make sure you request EVERYTHING the law says you are entitled to have. Make sure you have a GOOD lawyer

Thank you for your replies. No money or property involved. No children either. Thought maybe he was having second thoughts but is now stuck in his current situation and can't get out. Not sure if he just didn't want to see me move on without him since I think he thought I wasn't going to be around too long after he left. He didn't realize that my stem cell transplant would, thank God, be a success.

First, I am sorry.

My therapist said to me, "You don't need to know more because you will never know enough."

I had him write it down on a piece of paper and I framed it. It's in my living room.
