Hey guys just wanted to write and say my journey here in the USA is finished. I came here on a K1 visa which I paid for and got married and did AOS and paid for that too.

It seems that I have been played by a con man a cheat and a liar. He has broken the trust in our marriage over and over and I have found him on numerous web sites porn, just recently swingers and have found out about sex chatting on face book on his phone naked pics of womens genitals the lot.

SO I am calling it quits as I cant take anymore. My eldest daughter gets married 6th October and I am flying home for that and hoping to be able to stay but if my divorce hearing is not done by then which they are working to get a date for court then O will have to come back and finish it all.

I came here with all good intentions to marry this man love him honour and take care of him but instead he has thrown our marriage down the toilet.

He has broken the trust over and over we did counselling started going to church again but to no avail. He has kept on with the lies and other women and I am done with it.

I am nearly 55 yrs of age and now I have to go back to Australia and start my life over again.

He is a sick dog and I have to get out now while I still have my sanity and soul.

I hope all of you found happiness and do find happiness here, that's what I thought I had but it seems the wool has been pulled over my eyes once too often but not anymore.

Take care all and will delete this account soon.

Barbara.

I am so sorry about your situation.

A bit of advice: If it is at all possible to divorce here, do it before leaving (or at least file and get all the paperwork done that is possible). My sister is currently going through a divorce with her husband who ran back to England over 2 years ago. Because he keeps moving and hiding, each time she goes to court, the judge has refused to grant the divorce because she can't prove that he has been served his papers. After 10 years of marriage--regardless of when he moved out of their home, she has spent several thousand in legal fees, lost the house that was 1/2 paid for, and he can claim half her retirement. She is running out of time and he is a number-one scammer. She was not the first wife he played games with. Or the 2nd. Or the 3rd. Or....

End it quickly and cleanly, if at all possible.

Hi ma'am! well, so sorry about your heartaches. TRUST and HONESTY are very important ingredients in our relationship. Once it is gone, love and respect fade away. I understand you feelings, at least you have given him all chances and even went to counseling before you finally made decision. If you are really determined to leave then I wish you well. (F) I'm sure you know what is best for you. Be strong and always look up to God -- you will find peace in your heart, mind and soul. Be happy, take care and God bless you and your daughter! (F)

Thankyou Emin and yes I am doing all this before I leave if we can't get this sorted before I leave for the wedding I will return to finish it and I will get what is deserved to me. Thankyou so much for the kind words. I have a lawyer here and we hope to have him served this week coming. He is in for a rude shock that's for sure.ANd yesterday I find him on 2 swingers sites so it's never going to end hey.

Thankyou everyone for the kind comments and rest assured I am not leaving here empty handed, the divorce will take place here it's alll prepared he should be served this week. He is in for one rude awakening. he just thinks I am going back to Australia and will return after the wedding and we will work it out. NOT

If I can't get this sorted with a court date before my daughters wedding then I will return and finish it once and for all. I have a great family here who are supporting me so it's all good.

Family court will not be very quick, unless there is clear and imminent danger to the welfare of a child or spouse.

Best of luck and I tip my hat off to you for getting what you deserve out of this. You gave up your life to come here. It's not like you are from the next neighborhood and can easily pack your bags and return back home.

Divorce takes a toll on you mentally. Be strong.

So sorry to hear....I can empathize with you though....it was through fraud that brought me from the states to Australia nearly 4 years ago...broke my heart, nearly my soul...and crushed my daughter. HOWEVER...here now I'm engaged to a wonderful man who is immigrating to the USA with me. We’ve been together 2 years....so Barbara best of everything to you....and know that it does get better. Where in Australia is home?
