I also forgot, she has told me that she felt "smothered". I think that comes from me doing everything for her. I would make her a tea before she woke up in the am. I would take her a muffin/tea for breakfast at her work-every day that I was there. I put the gas in her car, bought her basically whatever she wanted-including a BMW 5 months before I deployed. We bought our first home together 2 years ago, and she has told me that she can walk away from our home anytime. I find that hard to believe, she comes from a poor family, and her lifestyle would be cramped. Later, she will tell me that she WON'T move, that I need to find a place to stay-she is going to fight for the house. She is reaching for straws as far as what she is getting vs what she is ENTITLED to. She also thinks she will be getting a large amount of $$ for CS. I have researched this, and now know that Texas has laws that say I must give her 25% of my GROSS income, minus SINGLE rate taxes, and healthcare. Which works out to a whopping $1,300. Do I tell her this? Or just keep that nugget for the divorce, if we go there. My boys both want to stay in the M home-they LOVE their schools, friends etc. Thanks.
