Thanks for your efforts to clean up the TB.

The behavior of several posters has become downright unbearable/shameful during the last few years.

It is sad to witness what was once an entertaining and at times, educational forum, morph into something akin to recess for maladjusted preteens. 

If the maturity level doesn't markedly improve, I wouldn't hesitate to do away with it.

First off, never put anything in writing you wouldn't want your worst enemy to read.

Sounds like your wife may be guilt ridden at the moment since she is willing to walk away without any financial compensation.  You may want to move quickly to make that legally binding (if possible) before she changes her mind.  Financial holdings may not seem so important at the moment, but they may provide options in the future that otherwise wouldn't be available to you.  

Ultimately, you can only control what you do.  Your wife has decided to move on with her life, you should do the same.  Try to focus on tying up any remaining loose ends between the two of you with as little drama as possible.  Emotionally that is a lot to ask, but the last thing you need right now is for your wife to get it in her head that she is the injured party in the relationship.  That will only make it harder to come to a mutually agreeable resolution.  

Also, please keep in mind that your wife will always be the mother of your child.   So, for your child's well being it is much better if you two part ways with minimal drama and hate.

Sorry to read about the job loss.  Bartenders that have a loyal following are like gold to their employers.  Your F&B Manager must be a dolt to fire you for an minor incident that only required a verbal counseling, if that.

You should be able to land on your feet with another major hotel in the city as bartenders who are able to increase liquor sales are always in demand.

If you are taking a few days off between jobs I hope you consider helping out Bernie Sanders in NC.  I am sure he would appreciate your time and effort.  Things are looking up now that he has won MI.  Who knows, you may make a big difference.
