I mentioned to the lawyer that I wanted what was fair and legal, but I was hoping I wasn't asking for more for revenge. She laughed and said, "what is wrong with revenge?".
I agree with the lawyer. I got well over half in my D. XH and I sat down in 11/06 one day after he disclosed the affair to me and discussed how we would split things. I never budged from that agreement...he tried to get me to give more, but I told him that is what we agreed to and we would leave it to the attorneys if he goes back on his word. In 2/07, he told me he felt like he was getting financially cheated. He actually used the word cheated when he talked to me...I just said well I guess you are getting financially cheated and I am getting emotionally cheated. He never stopped seeing OW for one day during our separation...if he was that concerned how financially hurt he was going to be, he would have treated me with a little bit of respect. I felt guilty at first, but I knew that anything he got out of the divorce, OW would get. Now that she is pregnant, I don't have an ounce of regret. My lifestyle didn't change at all and since I didn't want a D, I think that is fair.

I was told that I wasn't a good enough cook. Our H's do have two hands...what the h$ll is wrong with them? Maybe the men in our future will treat us with more respect and actually help around the house rather than accusing us.
