I agreed to sell a part of our business that I am tired of dealing with several months ago. Before H left, he contracted with a broker for the sale. I have been dealing with it by myself for weeks ... providing documents and financials, negotiations, etc.

Today, the final transfers took place. I am so peeved because I feel like he initiated the sale and then dropped everything in my lap to complete ... sort of like a "have fun with that" thing. He had promised to come back at the finalization of the sale, but, of course, he is too busy. I am so angry at having all of this dumped on me. Yet, he still believes he is entitled to half the proceeds?? It was my business idea .. I built it .. and now I've sold it. Why should he profit?? I know, marital assets .....

Right now, I have no interest in trying to save my marriage. The past week has been so hurtful that I wonder why I would ever consider wanting to stay with this man.

I know that isn't the point of this forum, but I just wonder how much one can take?

I try to feel loving and compassionate, but there just isn't anything there. I feel like he is doing just fine - living it up in the life he has created for himself - and I am left to clean up the mess he has left behind.

I wish I could find it inside myself to "stay the course" but I grow more and more disillusioned every day.

At this point, I only want the pain to stop and I don't know how to do that.
