H's MLC - finding compassion and forgiveness

[AntoniaB]

My lawyer told me "I'm sorry to put it this way but I have 36 years of experience: early on they will sign an SA and agree to things because they feel guilty. Later, they will fight tooth and nail for everything. Get them to sign EARLY. They become so irrational later. If they sign early, they are willing to sign things that are at least agreeable to both parties. Later, when they get sick of what they have "given up" as a result of their choices, they are more likely to fight/try to get your home/etc."

I took her advice.

My H very willingly signed a SA that gave him 5k in exchange for me getting 100% of our furniture and belongings from 23 years together. EVERYTHING. For 5k.

He signed "no problem."

Now he tells me that he can't sleep at night because he worries about how he will start over from nothing.

NOT MY PROBLEM.
