Currently sitting in a mediation for divorce. Wife deserted home and took kids without a court order. Now I have to fight and pay big $$$ to get physical custody of my children or at least split physical custody. You’d think something bad (physical altercation, abuse, cheating, etc.) needs to occur for a spouse to up and leave, take your children from a comfortable home, and move with their parents. Nope, it just happens. And we (men) have to continue to be men of honor, of action, and provide for the needy and our children. Kind of sucks. I know there is no need for a future marriage at this age, but definitely want to experience the joys of life after this.
