I am new and curious...I have a friend who is 37 yrs old and been married to a woman for 3 yrs who is 57 yrs old. The relationship was crap BEFORE he married her but felt there was no way out because of her age and they had already been living together for 15yrs, since he was 20. So he marries her anyway knowing he was already miserable. Going to bed every night thinking of blowing his head off bc he felt he could do no better. Well after 3 yrs of marriage he has left and been gone for a yr now and trying to get a divorce. She had a job but got laid off last yr and 6 or 7 mths later they called her back but she is saying she can't work bc the divorce is just taking it's toll on her. During this whole yr of being gone from the marital home he has continued to have his check sent to a joint checking account paying all of the bills and continued to go and keep the maintenance up of the home he was no longer living in just to keep the piece more or less. Now that they have been to court, she is asking for him to continue to pay all of her bills indefinately. What are the chances of this happening...did I fail to mention they have no kids and she refuses to have kids and he wants kids. Please any help or encouraging words would be great...one other small tid bit, during the whole 3 yrs of marraige they never consumated the marriage...when he would ask, she would say she didn't want to talk about that right then.
