I think I will at least ask for permanent alimony. The judge if he grants it would do so at a reduced rate. I do hope I would get remarried at some point probably if I meet a decent guy, so that wouldn't really be permanent then anyway.
I bought D10 some clothes on an online sale (really cute clothes) 3 outfits worth for about $60 this past week. When I tried to go back later and check the shipping info, it says I attempted login too many times and they locked me out. I would have to call to get online access. I guess X saw I made a purchase there, and wanted to know if I was spending the money on myself. I just joined their online site when I ordered the clothes and never attempted to access it once.
I had given X my bank account online password info when I had the problems with the car last year, I noticed today it says I have logged into my online account 66 times since December 9. I typically check it no more than once a week, at most 6 times since then. So he has been checking it like almost twice a day to see what I'm spending. Needless to say I changed the password and login today.
Woohoo! I bought a couch and recliner chair today. The couch was good, $500, but the recliner was $299. The kids insisted they had to have one and I'm such a marshmallow I gave in. I will just never have them go shopping with me for a major purchase again, but I wanted to get furniture the kids liked too. I feel guilty for the recliner, but the couch I totally needed. I've been using my son's futon on wood "couch", and it was horrible. I told the kids last big purchase for the next 10 years!
