    You have nothing to feel guilty about. It was he who wronged you (at least according to your post.) The fact that he's currently serving in Iraq gives you a respite of sorts (although lord knows what he's doing over there!) and time to arrange things financially and otherwise so that you can survive on your own two feet. I don't know much about family law in Australia but here in the U.S. you'd be in a position to "take him to the cleaners" as we'd say. It'd actually be that he wouldn't be able to afford to leave you as the majority of his paycheck would be going to support you via alimony, at least for a certain number of years. Of course, you would add to that your own income from employment, etc. His only saving grace would be the fact that there are no kids to support ; otherwise he'd be reduced to living in a cardboard box! You might want to speak with a local attorney with experience in family law for firsthand advice concerning your rights in this situation.

    Meet with a lawyer ASAP and make sure you are protected...

    Or you risk getting "cheated on" again

    Roo- I'm glad to hear that you are taking the first step toward your sane and peaceful life, this is another chance for you, use it well. What I'm saying is, guilt is normal for people with a conscience, whether they were at fault or not. You're obviously a good gal and although that step you took in filing for divorce signifies your freedom, it may also be a bit of a burden and leave you feeling with heavy heart. Stay strong and seek a relationship with the Lord. Best of it all to you.

    Good for you! I am proud of you. You will be much happier.

    Yes I am blunt- but I want people to change - move forward. The situation you were in was no good. There was no respect left or trust.
