Well, I ran into her in the driveway as I was leaving. I told her in a week or so I'd have some money and I'd give her some to help her on her way.
She went on about how she has nothing, but YOU get to keep the house and YOU keep the Prius and YOU are taking the kids away from me! You get to tuck them in every night and I don't see them. D13 thinks I abandoned her!
I tell her that I hope I can keep the house, and there is no way I am keeping the kids from her, I've told her over and over to come see them any time.
I point out that after she announced she wanted a divorce in January, I still kept paying for the house and the Prius and she didn't pay half like she should have.
She says "Well I own half of everything but you get to keep it all because YOU paid for it! You always get everything you want"
I said, "No, I don't. I want my marriage to work and my family to be together and I am not getting that right now"
Then I said "If the Prius is important to you, then take it. It really doesn't matter to me"
She says "No, I'll keep the minivan because YOU pay for the Prius."
I told her again, just leave me alone and I'll fix the financials. And again reminded her that she broke our agreement.
I finally left her, told her I was going to an AA meeting (I was) and I'd be back in an hour or so.
It's amazing that she thinks that we'll be so much better off if we sell our house. Totally wrong. She has no clue about basic economics and is desperate for money.
She could live here with me peacefully but she chose to screw another man. I don't think he's a 'soulmate' but it doesn't matter. She did it and this is the consequence.
Just leave me alone and let me do the work I have to do.
