My wife told me she wants a divorce last night and then kinda backed tracked at the same time after I told her of my diagnosis for the first time last night. She says Im using my diagnosis as a scapegoat for all the horrible things Ive done over the years. I told her it doesnt wipe the slate clean but it just defines why I did what I did. Not sure where things are going to end up at. But Im hoping that after she thinks about it she will want to talk more before making a decision. I hope she can see that I have been sick for a very long time and I finally realized I needed help.

My question is how many people here have had spouses that wanted a divorce at first because of the behaviors associated with their diagnosis but later stepped back and ended up not going through with it?
