NMD, bizarre, tomato, Kerry and Jeff -- Thanks for your support.

NMD - I'm planning on looking at this as a business decision w/ the finances. If W had taken another course, I may have considered just letting hers be hers and mine be mine, but now since she's drug this out, I've got a lot of bills to pay, so I'm not giving away any money. Thanks for the story and advice and I hope you'll come back by again.

bizarre - I know you said it would be tough, but I just didn't think she'd be that blatant w/ me in the room. I mean, the drugging and raping story -- come on! When did she dream this one up? It hurt, but I was more angry than injured to hear it.

Tomato - it is sad. Very, very sad. Where has the woman I fell in love w/ gone? Off the deep end, it seems. There may be no going back for either of us, but at least I'll always be able to hold my head high and say I tried. I'll even look to print out my posts here as proof for my D that I tried to save my M. I'm just not sure now if it is savable or not. Only time will tell the answer to that question.

Kerry - it was upsetting and I too am glad my L is confident. I would hope that we can get things to settle prior to a trial b/c from here on out, I'm paying $350 and hour for this D. I'd like to stop the payments and get things squared away soon. Thanks for being there, my man!

Jeff - your ladies from across the Atlantic are asleep, so I'm glad you checked in w/ me. I too thought it was funny that W had no idea her investments and retirements would be divided. I guess that is what you get when you hire a cut-rate, $250/hour L these days. It was a shock to her for sure. As for ammo, she did give it out, but I was hoping to get more definitive stuff from her today. However, that would have blown our hand if we end up going to trial, so I guess it is best it stayed as it was for now.

Talk to you all later. Thanks for caring and checking in.
