He may seem happy this afternoon but that'll last for what, maybe a couple of days? She wants OUT, period and that is sad for the both of them, I hate "quitters" like 8-5-8's wife is . A divorce is not a way to "save" a "relationship." It's going to be painful and it will take you about a year (on average) to get over it. Maybe you'll get lucky and she'll beg for you to "take her back" but the chances of that are highly unlikely.
Funny - but I originally started my post with "It seems really odd to me that you're wife would want a divorce in order to save your relationship..." I don't understand it - I hope it does save your relationship - I just don't see how it will...

I gotta say - anyone who is encouraging 8-5-8 to smoke a cigar to celebrate has missed the pain that is clearly in his post. Enjoy the day, bro - I'm glad it's going your way right now - I'm glad you're happy - but the toughest part of this will be tomorrow - and the day after - and the day after....

If you're going to smoke a cigar - find the biggest damn cigar you can get your hands on - pour yourself a nice HUGE glass of Iced Tea - go out in the back yard and enjoy that smoke while you reduce the stress of what's going on right now. And I hope you find some peace during that time - you deserve it, bro...
