Husband wants divorce

[MrsChuckBass]

My husband of 6 months has texted me today saying he wants a divorce.
No arguments in the lead and this morning we were actually talking about booking a holiday with the DDs (3&5)
I can't believe this is happening and I'm now at work so I can't confront him until I get home tonight

Sorry I'm at work so replying slow!
He's said he feels we haven't had sex as much recently, I have been signed off work with depression and returned to work last week
I'm absolutely devastated

I call his bluff. He’s saying it to emotionally blackmail you into doing what he wants. In this case, maybe more sex.

Never mind calling his bluff, give him exactly what he wants, a divorce. How utterly immature to text you at work about such a serious issue. I'd get signed off work again and become a stay at home mum and let him do his worst.

Wow

He is a peach

Good god. What an utter fucker. Texting the mother of his kids, while she's at work, someone he swore to love etc only 6 months ago?he must be angry as buggery that you're at work and he isn't. My god I'd be so angry. I'm sorry you are going through this and I hope your working day passes quickly

I agree with the bluff thing.
Shitty.
Don’t spend your life with him feeling you have to always have sex when he demands or he’ll leave you.

How awful of him I'd agree to the divorce. Selfish twat!

6 months and he wants to divorce because you’ve been having less sex due to your depression? What an absolute arse.

You can get a legal separation if you’ve been married less than a year, but it’s usually better to wait until you can get a divorce. While you’re waiting to start getting divorced, you and your partner can get a separation agreement.

Laws vary depending on where you are in UK so check the law for your area.

Wow.

So he wants a divorce because you haven't been having enough sex because you've been unwell. And he decides to tell you this by text message.

I'd go ahead and divorce him, because if this is his attitude towards you then I suspect going your own way will be a blessing in disguise.

@MrsChuckBass

Sorry to hear of this.

In UK [England] you cannot get a divorce until after one year of marriage. If he wants the divorce he will have to show grounds. There are 5 facts: Adultery - "you" had sex with a member of the opposite gender. [Your] Unreasonable behaviour. [You] Deserted him for two years. [You] consented after separation for 2 years or without consent after 5. Him simply wanting one does not - in the short term - matter!

I'm really sorry OP utterly shitty. I predict he will have a 'new' girlfriend in a week. This isn't your fault it's his.

Asking for divorce in a text message while you're in work, wow! What a immature, spineless twat!! I know you're crushed OP, but do you honestly want to remain married to a man who thinks so little of you?

What a fucking coward. To ask for a divorce by text, when you are at work and can’t do anything is such a spineless thing to do.

What did he do before he became a SAHD? Were you the higher earner? Do you have other options for Childcare?

I bet he has an OW waiting in the wings
He sounds like a coward and a liar and I would certainly give him his wish if it were me

What a wanker! Even if you weren't thinking about divorce before, you certainly should be now.

Once you get over the shock I hope you make his life a living misery!

I can't get over what a tosser he must be to send you a text message about the end of your marriage and cite not enough sex as the reason.

You deserve so much better. Everyone does!

I'm so sorry OP. What an absolute wanker he is and a complete coward. You must be heartbroken but please believe you deserve better than someone who would do this. I hope you have some support in RL

He did it by text?! Bloody hell what a monumental coward. Poor you OP, I'm so sorry. You need legal advice ASAP to know what the next steps will be and what options are available.

What a scumbag. You're depressed and have no desires for intimacy and he wants to leave you? Has he heard himself. Did he not understand his wedding vows?

Thankyou all for your support
Yes I'm the higher earner
DD2 starts reception in September so plan was for him to go back to work then
I can't believe this is happening

Because of sex?

Divorce him. What a scumbag.

@Mrschuckbass I'm so sorry to read about this, your husband wants a divorce because of sex, ask him to go to therapy so u can talk about your marriage! Hope everything goes well xx

After this shock I would be divorcing him pronto, unfortunately since he is a sahd I think you will be paying him maintenance. I hope it all works out for you one way or the other.

He’s disgusting.

He’s texted you “I want a divorce” and the reason is you haven’t had much sex recently? How dare he!
What an utter dick.
I’m not sure but I think the fact you’ve only been married 6 months will work in your favour though re finances.
