My husband and I just filed for citizenship . I am the primary greencard holder thru employment-based petition 5 yrs ago. I am also planning to file divorce but I dont want it to affect his citizenship. Should I wait for him to become citizen first before I file divorce? ty

My husband and I have been separated for almost a year, and recently mentioned to a couple close friends that we had decided to divorce. Earlier today we told our son. He told 4 of his closest friends today and their reaction was unsympathetic, like "duh, what did you expect when they’ve been separated so long". He was very hurt.

And right now I’m feeling pretty blue too, for me and for my son. I felt pretty close to my friends and am, frankly, a little shocked about their lack of follow up and concern about how I’m doing; I haven’t rec’d a single call to ask how we’re doing. (Btw, my husband and I have always done our part to support our friends. We routinely drive their children to and from school and camp when they’re busy, take the kids to recreational events, and have them over to play/hang out/spend the night; these children are the same friends my son talked to today. I only mention this because it helps describe the level of commitment we have shown to our friends in their busy lives.)

I’m so disappointed, I feel like finding a new group of friends. But the reality is, I like my friends and would really rather improve these relationships. Any suggestions for how I get some support from my friends? And what is realistic to expect?
We have both been in individual and joint counseling since separating. And my son is also seeing the counselor so he has a neutral adult to talk to. (BTW, we are remaining friends and work together to make decisions that affect our son.) Thanks to everyone who had genuine answers.

sorry this will be long … but i need to explain why I ask this

I would like to know your opinion why people do prenuptial ?
and
if your partner ask you to do prenuptial will you agree?

I do have my own thinking of prenuptial but I wish to know other people opinion to open my mind.
I respect people who do prenuptial, but there is always this question in my mind..

By the time they decide to married, they sure love each other and want to leave together, share good and bad and do not plan to divorce or wish for bad, hence why they wish to have prenuptial?
it feels like, there is a fear of betrayal and doubt of sharing.

since i was small, my parents (i don’t know why) brought up this issue,
"we shouldn’t have a prenuptial, marriage is sacred, once bound by a vow to God, we should share good and bad time, when you are in a better place than your partner, in fortune as example, then it is not wrong to bring your partner to enjoy it with you because it is the essence of marriage, to share happiness. If you scared of wrong choice or bad partner then the ‘selection’ should done before the decision to get married"

but when I was at university, there was a lecturer brought up this ‘prenuptial’ topic, "we do prenuptial to prevent a bad thing happen to us effecting our partner, example you are in a big debt, if you have prenuptial then your partner not obligate to drawn into debt, at least 1 person survive to help your daily life rather than both of you lost all your belonging"

…both I agree…

any experiences or comments would be greatly appreciated…ty

I’ve been dating her for almost two months. We are very close, but I can’t get into this with the loud obnoxious redneck ex-husband, the angry six yr old, and all the rest of the drama.

There is a 4 yr old who is attached to me and, the mother (my gf) cares for me deeply. I am going to break their hearts and I hate it. What is the most mature, respectful way for me to do this and cause the least pain possible.
