my story

[ihavenoclue 0]

myself and my wife have been married for nearly 4 yrs...yest she wants to divorce due to my bipolar

i came over here from the UK and dropped everything to be with her. WE got married in april 04 and as with every marriage the first year or two is the hardest. Now what with me being over in the states, everything is new to me, the culture and everything else that goes with it. Its a stressful time trying to get used to a different way of life, waiting for the work permit to come through and yr sat on yr ####### unable to provide for things.

Yes i did and still do love my wife very much as thats the reason why i married her in the first place, and now i get to find out that i have bipolar. Now for people who have looked in to the symptoms of bipolar they will know that it can be a very disturbing illness and that if you dont know you have it then you are kinda in a situation where you are doing things when you have now real clue you are doing them....

So i get to find that i have had bipolar ever since my mum died when i was five yrs old, and no one picked it up at an early age, so you carry it through life not knowing that its that which is making yr life very hard to live with.

My wife is wanting to divorce me coz i have done some silly things and yes they stem back to the fact that i have bipolar and i wasnt in a good frame of mind.

Now we filed for my conditions to be lifted back in may and she has stated that she is not willing to help me get my resident card, not willing to give me the documention i need to file it myself, not willing to let me have my stuff back and saying that all the stuff in the house she will keep for herslf...

now if i file for myself to have the conditions lifted how would i go about getting the documention i need to file it. she has even blocked me from gaining entry to our joint bank account along with the car that is in both our names.

my extended visa runs out in may of next yr and she isnt divorcing yet...how will this effect my chances of getting my resident card

If you don't wish to disclose it's your prerogative, but what 'silly' things that you've done would cause your wife to not only abandon, but try to sabotage your immigration process?

I would say it is time to see a lawyer who specializes in family law. You have rights within the marriage as well and a lawyer would help to ensure you are able to get them. I am sorry that your marriage is failing.
