    If you don't want to go with her

    then forget divorce, get an annulment. And even if you do want to go with her, she is sending you a message about where you fit in her life.

    I quit my job and followed my wife (with our two young kids) to an overseas job of hers. It was exciting and mind-expanding. I was also unemployed for two years after getting back and fell into major depression. Jobs aren't growing on trees.

    Recently she suggested doing it all over again. This time I told her she had to find me a job. She viewed that as a ridiculous demand, and I told her that she could go alone.

    She's still here.
