Grounds for unreasonable behaviour

Hi all,

I'm after a bit of advice.

My wife has recently told me she would like to separate just 12 days after my mother passed away. I also recently found out she is using an online dating site for single parents even though we are still living together.

On top of this, she has told me she doesn't love me as a husband. She has also completely drained the joint bank account even though I have a very reasonable salary coming in every month (she doesn't work).

I've spoken to my solicitor who suggested this is sufficient grounds for filing for divorce (unreasonable behaviour). But, I'd welcome any second opinions.

What do you guys think?

Thanks,

Alex

I suspect you will be receiving a petition from her pretty soon as clearly she wants to divorce you. Personally I would concentrate on securing my assets, sorting out my bank accounts and coming to an agreement over finances before I worried about the grounds for divorce.

I’m sorry your marriage has ended. This next bit is tough, but you will get there. I don’t understand why you would ask random unqualified strangers to give a second opinion on a point of law that has already been confirmed by a solicitor, though? Obviously, there are grounds if a professional has told you that there are. Are you actually asking whether others would divorce for this? If so - yes.

I agree with the pp above...you've asked a professional and received advice. Unless this is a reverse.... I'd agree that her actions constitute unreasonable behaviour.

Yep, that's pretty unreasonable.
I would assume there is another man as well.
The 'I don't love you anymore' is the typical cheaters script.
Has she said she is willing to do counselling or anything else?
