I never knew women automatically considered the woman to be at some sort of fault in the divorce. I have always considered it to be the man's fault for some reason. In fact most of my friends who have gotten divorced are at fault. One left his W+3 kids for his secretary, the other was a womanizer throughout their relationship and marriage, and the other that comes to mind was an alcoholic who had been through several rehab stints before his exW had enough and left with their kid. Thankfully he has been sober for ~ 14 years and is remarried with two more kids.
At least I can hold my head up knowing that my W left me due, I believe, to MLC-related issues and not for anything major on my part (abuse, addictions, etc..), but like many of the women on this thread, I would guess that I am being wrongly judged by some. Regardless, there is only one judge who really matters.
Received my Quadro papers this weekend - very depressing.
