Today, I was placed firmly in the friend-zone. By my wife. We've been married 10 years. She doesn't want a divorce, she says it'd be too "time-consuming." FML

Invite your new girlfriend over. $10.00 says she shows some interest again.

Bloody bitch. Force a divorce through. She's only staying because of marital benefits after all.

Does she love you or not? Do you love her? If not, go visit a solicitor to discuss options. In Australia you need to be separated for one year before you can file for divorce, but you can still be living under the same roof, so long as you keep everything separate. It may be a cry for attention so first try to work things out. If nice doesn't work, ask her how she'd feel if you found another girlfriend. Her reaction to that will tell you what it's really about - even if it was a sneaky way to let you know she is already playing away.

Forget divorce. First try counseling (she could just be depressed) and also take your wife to an endocrinologist as well as a doctor to do some bloodwork and have a complete physical done (esp. blood pressure, diabetes and thyroid levels). She may have a medical condition that plays havoc with her sex drive (ask your doctor, there can be many different causes.). I don't see why everyone is in such a hurry to push the "divorce" button. Yeah, her attitude sucks, but what is the cause that is underlying it? Is it a general malaise after 10 years of marriage and cohabitation or is it symptomatic of an underlying physical condition? If you love her at all, you should have her checked out. Also don't take responsibility for her issues. She'd probably be like this with whomever she married.

It is worth it. I know a separated couple that don't have money and time to divorce. The man is now married to someone else.

She's probably seeing (and feeling) someone else

Man tell her to take the train move on!!!

In Australia, I'm pretty sure as long as the couple is separated for a period of twelve months, the divorce doesn't need the other person's consent. That's what it says in the legal textbooks I read in school at least. :p
