Standing up to the punches

[Redo]

Thanks Seminolewind. Yup as one my friend put it. The emotional trauma might go away in a year or so, but if you are not careful the financial trauma will haunt you for a long long time.

In our marriage, she managed our total finances. I had no clue how much was where nor did i worry. Now she feels she can do the same, but not be married. My fear is that by me retaining a lawyer i might lessening our chances of reconciliation. But if don't stand up for myself now, i never will.
