1-No more naging. The OM will start to get that soon enough. 2-When D is final I will control at leas 1/4 of my income, right now I control 1% and she spends 99% on stuff that just aggravates me. 3-I will get to take my children to my side of the family on some Holidays. Up until now they only know my dad in person and my sister, niece, nephew and brother in law thanks to Skype. My mother they have only seen in pictures. Because we always have gone to her family for every single holiday, and no, I am not exagerating. 4-I will be able to separate my finances and credit from hers. From D day on, if she is late paying her credit card bill, the fee comes out of her pocket not mine. If she wants to waste money on every weight loss product or method known to man, she will be paying for it and I won't be getting upset anymore about it.
5- I will get to watch what I want on TV. No more Real Housewifes of _______ (fill in the blank) or "Medium" or that Jennifer Love Hewett Show about dead people.
6-I get to buy my own clothes and not wear things I do not like just to please her.
Don't forget to take your pants back from her.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
