I will pray for you Houmatt.

I'm here in Rochester. Amherst eh? A long time ago I lived in North Tonawanda so I know about Buffalo cops. The townies are hardasses. I wouldn't worry about a misdemeanor. I've done a lot worse things, and walked.

Godspeed!

I'm no psychologist, Houmatt, but I doubt you can remain on speaking terms with her, and certainly not in the immediate future. It just never works out that way.

You didn't make any reference to kids, so I assume you don't have them.

Many divorced couples with kids eventually work things out to where there is no further animosity and something like an uncomfortable friendship exists. That is very rare among childless couples who divorce. They almost always tend to move on and put the past behind them. It's too painful to continue to dwell on.

My advice, for what little it is worth, is to close that chapter in your life. Stop wishing for what might have been or what conceivably could be with your soon to be ex-wife. The relationship ended. If it resurfaces later, great. But hold no expectation that it will. Your future is ahead of you, not in the past.

Prayers for you, Houmatt.

I think the curious on this thread are just trying to ascertain whether what you did was something directed at your wife or at another person; there's a big difference between offering counsel for something like that and something like, for example, a DUI.

If it's something akin to the latter, please be advised that a lot of folks -- a few around here, undoubtedly! -- have been in that same boat (or car, rather) over the holidays.
