I know it's hard to forgive, but something my instructor mentioned today really struck home for me and the things you mentioned: when a breakup happens, you can't get back some of the things you put into a R. You can't take them to court for the last X number of years of your life. Though it would be so nice if you could wink

There's a few things I'm still bitter about, but I don't want to always be bitter, so I try to push them out of my mind. Just like I'm afraid of snakes, so I don't sit around all day thinking of snakes, because who wants to be scared all the time?

I hope it gets easier with time to let go of these things. In the meantime, spousal support is HARD to get, you will need a good lawyer. Even a subpar lawyer told me that it would be near impossible, even though I'd been a SAHM for 3 years. Luckily, ExCautious decided to sign off on it or me.
