Well.....I finally received instruction that the Visa application can't progress before wife has enough income/we find a joint sponsor.
Yesterday was another day from hell.

SD12 and SS11 utterly hateful to me and Wife just sucks up to them.

Fast forward to their bedtime (which couldn't come soon enough), I told wife I'm going back to the UK. She isn't going to suddenly get a job with 30,000$, or anywhere near, because she hasn't got the CV for it, frankly.

She has just lied constantly to me, since the wedding.

I have wasted in the region of 10,000£ on this whole horrible experience.
The two step children have been utterly ghastly to me. The are resentful and manipulative, having been neglected by their mother.

I have tidied (like....'Hoarders' episode tidied...), ripped up carpets, bought furnishings, made a hovel a home, had a washing basket thrown at me, given up my job, friends and security away to get here, now I'm going to have to spend even more, at least £2000 on my Visa card, to get out of this sh1t. Money shouldn't be important, but I'm from am extremely poor background and it took me 15 years to get to the point where I was finally making a profit in the Arts.

I feel so angry with her, myself. I hated her children and they hated me. She did f#@£ all to make this work. Her life is a total mess. Her parents support her. She can't stick at a job.

I just want to be single for the rest of my life.
She's just lying here, sleeping.

Sorry to whinge. It's absolutely devastating. Being alone in a foreign country with this on the horizon.
