{quote} damage to the betrayed spouse's self esteem and even to the point of emasculation in the men{quote}

Damage to self esteem is for real and no joke. To the emasculation (this is pyschologically very real), I'll add eviseration -- feeling like you are gutted from gullet to groin.

{quote} Why ANYONE would want to sit back and let that go on for 18 months to 2 years or even LONGER is beyond me. Personally, I couldn't do it -- I felt my strength sapping after only two months.{quote}

This is my second time through this. I sat back for nearly 2 years and was the doormat. Sat back by my own choice and took the best shots SHE could unleash. This time I lasted 3 weeks. Managed to lose 35 pounds within the first 6 weeks. My strenght too was gone. I was not going to sit there while SHE sashayed out the door everynight -- too gut wrenching.

{quote} That all being said, Fitz, no family court judge worth their salt is going to count documentable "squandering of family assets" against your debt. Do you have record of all these expenses? Your wife (and you) will have to submit DETAILED financials to the court in any divorce action.{quote}

The financials have been turned in. My L asked for HER credit card statements going back one year. It will be interestinig to hear her explain why 3 motorcycle purchases and an additional $18,000 in impulse charges benefited the community. HER plan is I take the debt and SHE keeps the motorcycles. (WTF)
