The WAS is focused mostly on the bad parts of the M. They rewrite history to suit their current emotional and mental state. They think back and only see the negatives and discount the positives as minor.
H has provided a financially stable, comfortable life for our family, and he has my gratitude and appreciation for that.. He's always had that. What I'm scared of his reaction to the thought of spousal support when I present it. His salary is more than 3x mine and with 20 years of marriage, he's on the hook. I expect to him to be very angry- I've read some of the reactions here of the LBS's to that and they're furious. I don't know the best way to present that part to him.
