my draft divorce petition has come

hi everyone

well i got my divorce petition from ex on friday

we've been seperated a yr because he treated me badly, he didnt want to leave but i made him because i couldnt stand the way he was treating me.

Anyways i refused to divorce him because as a christian i dont think its right, I wanted to fix our marriage he was all for himself

So i got the papers as i told him if he wants a divorce he has to do it.

I am very hurt and upset by what he has put as reasons for divorce. He is divorcing me for unreasonable behaviour (only way without waiting another yr)

He says i was Manipulative, controlling, verbally abusive, materialistic, didnt share my possesions with him and kicked him out. Now some of these are true and i am not proud of them but it was not enough for a reason for divorce.

Now i dont know whether to just sign it and accept its over or the other choice is make him wait until we have seperated 2 yrs then he can divorce me without reason just my permission.

I'm not saying i was perfect i never was but he was the one who didnt want to share his life with me, physically abused me (not often but enough as anytime is wrong) put me down all the time, ignored my feelings and most probably cheated but there is no proof

Does it matter what the papers say? I dont want him back unless God tells me too so not sure what to do

Opinions from others maybe who've been in the same situation would help :)

What about if i meet someone in the future and they ask why we got divorced etc the things he has put make me seem like the bad one :(

Then you tell them the truth. Do you plan on showing your divorce papers to someone in the future?
