//Might there truly be some bitter resentment in there //
Absolutely. I gave an awful lot to this relationship. I never felt it was recipricated. In the end, I was devalued and thrown away.
For the priveledge of being treated like this, I am getting thrown out of my house, losing 1/2 of everything I have worked for all my life and get to pay her $1700/month for the next 5 years.
These are difficult emotions to work through. I don't think I will work through them overnight. But, I am not a bitter person. In time, I will forgive and move on. Without physical seeration, moving on is hard.
