Bea, I agree w/you 100% that mlcers are not like other "normal" people when it comes to dragging divorce proceedings out.
Shining, when people come to this forum or on other online MLC forums, they think that their spouses will not cheat or take them to the cleaners, but there aren't too many that don't cheat, lie or take you to the cleaners. It is very important that you protect your assets, keep a close watch on your credit cards and bank accounts, as well as taking care of yourself, physically, mentally and emotionally. This is a very difficult journey and one not for the faint of heart. It is a marathon, not a sprint by any means.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
