ok, here it is. my husband (17 years older) is bipolar, impotent (not physical, but mental block, doesn't ever want sex again), has lied pathologically about his past and what he has done in his life (everything from he wrote buddy holly's first song to his scars on his body are war injuries). the truth is that i found out they are childhood surgical scars. he was funny and entertaining to be around and financially stable, but wreaked havoc on our marriage. he has now left and lives 2000 miles away, got drunk (after 7 years of sobriety). btw, he's an alcoholic who didn't drink during the marriage. he keeps saying that he's made a mistake in leaving, but that we need "time" to think about what went wrong and figure out how to make our marriage work. i know i can't live with him unless he seeks serious help, but at his age (66) why can't i just let this all go and file for divorce? ps. i'm torn by biblical messages from childhood regarding divorce.
