Treese,

My H also told me he wanted us to be friends when this was over but that was before I found out about OW & before all the legal process!

We both had great attorney's (good ones cost lots) & then we went to mediation. That cost over 1000.00 per hour, between both attorney's & the mediator. We were there 9 hours!!! My H had to pay it all so it cost him over $9,000.00. That doesn't include our retainer fees for both of our attorney's, that was 6000.00 total & I know my H went over his retainer so he had to pay more. If we had gone to court it would have been a whole lot more.

Remember, it's only a piece of paper & I hope & pray my H will come back. But I am scared b/c of all the legal stuff & everything. I guess if I had not stood up for myself it may have been a better chance of him coming back. I guess that's why I worry & I'm scared he won't. But he wasn't going thru MLC when he divorced his first wife, so just maybe he will remember the good times & not the legal stuff!!!
