H was able to stand and approach the judge because he was representing himself. Also because he was the one who requested the hearing.
When the judge asked if a reconciliation was possible H said "No he tried, and even went to counseling, but I wouldn't participate. So the marriage is broken and there is no chance of reconciliation!" I whispered to my attorney that he wasn't telling the truth and asked if I could say something. She told the judge that I had something to say, but he wouldn't let me. That he didn't want to get into anything at this time. Another date in late January was set, and that was it.
I came straight home, and was surprised to find him here. I thought he would have gone back to work. He came home to change his clothes. I told him that I knew he was low, but to not tell the truth in a court of law was the lowest. His reply was that he didn't lie. Ya, whatever. The truth would have been for him to have said to the judge I committed adultry, and I broke the marriage vows. Ya, I know I'm dreaming. He walked out of court so smugly. He got to talk but I couldn't. I probably would have said something I would have been sorry for anyway.
Looks like it's going to trial. He still doesn't want me to have much of anything. My dogs, my car, my laptop, a few household items. No alimony. He wants the house.
So, it's the latest thing.... Cheat on your wife, and be selfish to her! Oh, I musn't forget, Lie in court to save your a*#
