You're making this unnecessarily difficult. File for divorce. Don't involve friends. They might knock it back they might not. If they do then wait 12 months and file again.
Look unless you're desperate to marry some other guy next week - what is the rush?
Thanks for your answer Sammy. Firstly I just asked a question (that's reason this forum is here) . Secondly let's assume I am in rush, if you cannot think of any other reason for that, is not enough to conclude there could not be any other.
I am very sorry to see how easily some people judge other people based on their false perceptions.
