STBX and I ended up having a talk. Brought up by the fact that I hadn't gotten the papers to file for a divorce filed out completely. They emailed me stuff. And I was going over it with him for some of the stuff he knows.

And I told him what the lawyer said to me, which was that one or the other of us would get mad before this process was over and it would become a contested case. I then may have made that happen.

I was going over the money with him and told him what the lawyer told me, which was that I was asking for too little. And STBX started giving me crap about how was he supposed to live on X amount of dollars.

The division we are working on was giving me 30% and him 70% of is income. The lawyer suggested a more fair number would be 35% for me and 65% for H. He is a mediator lawyer, but technically represents me. He agreed to work with me and see if we could keep this sane.

So STBX got all grumpy and said he would just quit his job and then I wouldn't get anything and that would be my problem. Funny, funny man. Wonder how long OW will love him if he tries to live on half his military retirement income.

Back to what words started this falling out. STBX wonders how he is supposed to live on 65-70% but doesn't worry about me living on 30-35%. So I broke it down for him......

And then he had the nerve to tell me that all I had to do was go find some guy to support me. I told him that might be the mindset of some people we know, it wasn't mine!

On that happy note we all went to our respective bedrooms. And now I can't sleep, so I came to my Woman Cave to babble to you all!

Guess I'll take my sick grumpy self back to bed and hope i feel better in the morning!

Thaanks for listening to me vent.....
