This query is : Resolved
My wife is not staying with me from last 4 years due to incompatibility issues and never returned inspite of several attempts to call her back. It seems like married but it never existed as she doesnt want to come back. We had no relation (Sexual or otherwise in last 4 years). She asked for divorce and when my several atempts failed to convince her not to go in for divorce, i finally agreed to give divorce so that i can start fresh. Now when i committed to some one else she called me after 4 months of last meeting saying she wants to come back..she has already wasted my 4 years and now playing around..If she has not stayed with me, legally does the marriage exists? What should I do as I have already wasted half of my adolescense in it and dont want to furthewr waste my coming years. She has done so much harm to me mentally and emotionally that i dont feel anything for her now. Nor does she has any regret for what she has done..Can i go ahead and continue my new relationship without further wasting my time..

"Committed to someone else and wife wants to comeback" Unless U R divorced officially how can U commit UR self.
U R in a hurry not to waste UR youth as U have done for the last 4 yrs.I presume it was an arranged marriage,what were the elders of both the families doing all these years.
What are U going to do if the same thing happens with that "someone".
Has UR wife ever been taken to a family counsellor,I hope not?
Try for a reunion instead of wrecking both the lives.

If she does not want / oppose, divorce may take 3-5 years or even more, in your language wasting another period of your adolescence.
She may want to join you to have grounds of DV cases against you.
However, you can not live / marry with another till you get divorce. It may land you behind bars.
