My marriage is failing….I want it to end…I want to have my wife ask me for a divorce very soon.

You don’t say why your marriage is failing, but if you want it to end, I can give you this advice: Keep doing what you are doing.

The only marriages that ever work are the ones where both partners are devoted to keeping their marriage alive and working. If you have already given up on your marriage, you wife, no matter how stubborn, in love or committed she is to this relationship will eventually give up on it too.

Now, that said, I am wondering why you want to bring so much pain to yourself and your wife. And, why does she need to ask you for a divorce? If you want to end the marriage, stop stringing her along and be a man and tell her you want out.

Trying to force her to ask you for a divorce is a way of abdicating responsibility for your life and your relationship. In other words, it’s a way so that you can blame her for the end of the marriage. You can tell friends or your parents or your children that she wanted the divorce and make sure everyone sees her as the bad guy.

WRONG! If you are unhappy, you should take the steps to correct it. And, if you are just looking to blame someone else, I suggest you seek counseling before you destroy your life and hers.
