Thanks for your reply John. I don't think my spouse, who was born in the UK, will be cooperative!
Someone told me that if I am resident in the UK for 5 years with indefinite leave to remain, I can apply for naturalisation without relying on my spouse. I was told that I will need my spouse's assistance to apply under the 3 year rule but not if I apply when I'm resident after 5 years. Obviously the rules change all the time and I would prefer to apply now rather than get divorced but would like to know if there is another option open to me, even in a couple of years, to become a British Citizen!
