Question by sweety: Do you think my ex will stop doing drugs?
I was in a ten year relationship I used to do drugs but I have quit now for almost three years. I left my ex bc it eventually made me sick watching him still do it and be gona all the time doing it bc I no longer allowed it in the house. We have kids and have been seperated for about two years. I’m pretty happy an feel really great since changing my life around:) he still wants to be with me but he keeps lying about still doing drugs. He says he quit now for real and wants to be with us but I’m still really not trusting hom bc he has lied to my face about it so much over the years. I also feel really resentful toward him since he hasn’t really raised the kids with me he just has basically play dates and sleepovers at his parents now every other weekend. Is it worth it for me to not move on ? Do people like him never really quit? Am I wasting my time hoping he will change? Te kids want us together and that’s what is bothering me but I will never if he is still doing drugs bc he is not a nice person as soon as he runs out even if it’s only weed.

Question by : “Cruel and inhumane treatment” grounds for divorce in NY?
Hello everyone, I am in the process of getting divorced in NY. As you may know NY doesn’t accept no-fault divorces. Our relationship deteriorated over time. Her alcohol problem got worse and she started to banging the stuff around while we argue. Do you guys think that qualifies for “cruel and inhumane treatment”.
Thanks a lot
She agreed with the divorce stuff so it will be uncontested. I am trying to give the judge just enough information to proceed with the divorce without writing a novel about our marriage.

Best answer:

Answer by thatartistwin
No. Sounds like you are picking at straws trying to come up with something to nail her on. I suspect that her alcohol problem got worse with the failing of her marriage. Take responsibility for your part in that.

Answer by Captain Obvious
No.. I don’t think it does.

But if you really want a divorce… you’ll fine a way to make it happen. Even if you have to lie and/or plant things. In the end its your word against hers and who will believe a violent alcoholic druggy?
