in last 6 months i had some trouble with my love that effected make mountain out of molehill, court and 10s K$ losing, depression for both of us and ... just for break a cell. i was talking with this Iranian father who everyday come to Los Gatos memorial park for his wife ( as i do for my mom's) , we talk Persian but as his experienced was great for USA, we talk this 3 minuets in English, sorry if we are not fluent. hoping its useful for you guys and stop making bigger fights and court and restring orders as USA system teaching by mistake to people.
unfortunately what i see in USA life after 15 years living here, couple very easy with some crashed separate with each others, it's look like they have accident with car and they buy new. by this USA has over 11M single mom's and over 100M single adults. stay calm, don't go to court and lawyer system, they just make you more in separation, mediators can be much helpful, go to church, Mosque, always first.
