Still Crazy After All These Years...

[irishblessings]

SA -
I completely understand your frustration and have often found myself in the same circumstance. I have never sent the "email" - but I have had one sided conversations in my car:)

XH and I were stretched financially. Not from overspending so much - more from neglect and the lack of management. As the years went on - my income doubled while XH's remained steady. It was never a deal to me - it was always "our" money for the family. Since XH left - he CHOSE to move into an area of town known as the "projects". Could he have moved somewhere else for the same money - yes. But he had grown accustomed to that lifestyle - no expectations, no standards. The hook-ups he engaged in took place in the rank apartment complexes and back alleys of the seedy parts of town.

He has told everyone that "finances" are what ruined our marriage. I'm sure some people will listen. I keep trying to move forward with my head held high. It will take me a few years before I am financially solvent - the way I would like things to be - but it will happen.

SA - walk away with your head high and keep moving forward. Detach, detach, detach!!!

PS - Nice to see you went to a party:)
