ADVICE How do I get divorced?

My wife has left me. We have been married for only a little over a year. I’m not working due to health issues so I literally have no money. I have no income and no savings, and completely overwhelmed by what I should do or am supposed to do. Does anyone have any resources that outline things in a simple way? Advice? I’ve tried doing research myself but I just can’t make any sense of anything.

Because I know people will make the assumption, I’m a woman. I’m not a man.

Maybe let her initiate and pay for it?

I’m getting tired of playing chicken with her.

I have no doubt I'd feel the same way but maybe just try and forget about it until she does something. Even legal aid won't make it free. I have a friend who let it be for years because she absolutely refused to pay for it

I want to move on with my life. I’m 27 and want to start a family.
