'My wife has left me...'

u00a0It's been over a month since my wife left home. I don't want her to come back. I am going to initiate divorce proceedings shortly but I am feeling guilty about being such a terrible husband. I am also worried about my future.

Dear Rehan,
Why are you having second thoughts now that the road is clear for you? She has left you - what you always wanted. Life was hell for you and now that you know what heaven is in her absence, what is stopping you? If she was such a pain in your life, why are you even harbouring thoughts about how terrible you have been with her. And you have some cheek to worry about your future. You wanted a way out of marriage and now you have it. Stop being the wimp and take a stand.u00a0
