Timeframe with Divorce Attorneys

Hi all,

I started divorce proceedings on May 10th. It is going on 3 months now and all my attorney has done is draft a Settlement Proposal (that I made changes to, and we have never discussed. I have only talked to him on the phone a hand full of times. He has emailed my husband's attorney several times for them to get together to discuss this case and he said that haven't met yet. I have already spent close to $1,000 and that's just for a few emails, a few phone calls and the draft of the Settlement agreement. Is this normal for an attorney? It sure doesn't feel like it should be this way. Can you all let me know your experience with divorce attorneys? I am wondering if I should find another attorney. I want to get on with my life. Thanks.

Husband sleeping with other men

I found out on April 10th of this year that my husband was on hook up sites for men and sleeping with men. We have been married for 14 years and together for 17 years. I found pictures on his phone, so I have proof. He said he isn't gay or bi-sexual (hard to believe). He said he did this with men because he felt like if he was with a woman, it would have been cheating, SMDH, like this wasn't cheating. I am pursuing a divorce. Terrible thing is we just bought a new house in January of this year and moved in in February. Prior to this we lived in my rowhome that I bought by myself back in 1995 as a single mother. So, this makes divorcing much more complicated. He was the love of my life and I loved him with my whole heart. It's been a rough couple of months, but I am seeing a counselor trying to learn how to deal with all of this. I didn't get married until I was 39 and I don't think I will ever do this again! You cannot trust anyone! It's so sad. I would never do this to someone I was "supposed to love". Any other women out here in this situation?
