She has no clue how bad this could really become. Our credit has been shot due to my business with my partners and the fact I have not received a steady paycheck in months. We have no equity in the home we are in, thanks to the market, and she put in the papers she wants to stay in the house with the kids, but she cant afford it. I have enough money set aside to go rent a new place tomorrow. I am going to go get the kids and hit the gym, she had the nerve to ask me to stop by her work so she can give the kids a treat, UMMM I just got served papers, is it normal for her to be on her high horse right now seeing me in shock? it is not even phasing her one bit?
Yes she's gloating, you took her power away when she originally asked you to leave. This divorce process was probably in place for quite some time, remember it's only been 2 weeks since you were supposed to leave the house as per original demands. She asked you to leave, you've been reading her journal, where in that little book of hers did she write that she loved you and hoped you would fight for the marriage just like she was?
I'll answer that.... no where did she write any of this stuff.
Don't move out, you can shelve those plans to rent a new place.
Let her be.
And don't be her puppy dog either, jumping at her every request.
If she doesn't want to be with you, let her go.
No amount of kissing her a$$ now is going to do any good, don't you remember that you felt like she was fishing for information, via email a week ago about your counseling, about your drinking, she kept asking you about you being an alcoholic, hoping you would admit something via email, she's been planning this for quite some time already. That's why we told you not to reply to her emails with any details via email, she was stockpiling information.
Let her go.
Her staying in the home is just a dream of hers, when you reply to the d filing, you can write the same thing in there as well, you want to stay in the house with the kids.
