In the year that I have been using this site, I can't think of many occasions where there hasn't been infidelity or something untoward involved in a split. Although very sad, it does seem extremely common Ralf. The official figures would shock and disgust you.

Of course, when there is infidelity involved, it's a totally different kettle of fish, hence the legal action and often bitterness.

You and your wife are quite a rare example, hence why I think you have a lot more hope than others.

All the best for tonight. I think the way you are both handling it is excellent, well done.
