As quite a few people have pointed out that I got the best from the divorce. I have my children. I have my family. I have my health.
And that is what is more important than the tangible. Extra money is a great tangible, but it can't buy happiness, it can't resolve bitterness or a sense of injustice. It doesn't make the spouse who left any more contrite (if at all).
The concept of having a buy out with infidelity causing a divorce is an interesting one. But I guess that's where pre-nuptial contracts come in. Going into a marriage with all the what if bad things spelled out. Marriage becomes more of a contract and definable.
Go figure.

PS.. The former spouse has told friends that if he had to do it over again, he'd divorce me in an instant. That it was the best thing that's happened to him. Yay Ex! At least he's consistent.
