No children were born to the wife during the marriage.
The husband is forty-one (41) years old and the wife is forty-three (43). Both are in apparent good health and both have post college education.

The parties have been separated for two years.
The husband accuses the wife of having a volatile has described her as "nasty," "negative" and "extremely unhappy."  He testified further that she called him many derogatory and demeaning names.
The wife never articulated to any extent her belief as to what caused the breakdown of the marriage. She indicated that her husband stopped paying the bills and once forced her to have oral sex with him.
