WAW in Los Angeles

[wawinla]

Wow
Spousal support?! Go for it! I'm sure plenty of LBS who were left in financial ruin will be rooting for you!!

Maybe I'm feeling jerkish today, but get a fat settlement, use it to buy a new car, get the better job, then go ahead and have the life she wants for yourself. If she ever asks thank her for showing you there is a better life than what you had and for showing you she was too selfish of a person to share it with.

Ok all silliness aside, your W is hardcore MLC, and you know what MLC's are not bad, as long as you don't forget those that have been with you all along. Tossing people aside is selfish, maybe it's time to consider at least beginning the road to moving on.

GB:

This has been the hardest part...how she can forget that I've been there all along. She turns this into, "I should have left you sooner, but I felt obligated/guilty." That's convenient now that she's at where she's at.

I've thought about moving on. All signs point in that direction, but I want to be able to look in the mirror and know that I tried everything to make it work. As you've pointed out, my WAW is deep into her MLC, so it doesn't look promising but I'll keep at it but must protect myself and end my pattern of being a NG.
