Post-Game Review

[tryingtilDorR]

Its been 2 years since I last posted. I thought about the site today because I was cleaning out a closet and came accross about 30 marriage and self-help books I had bought when going through my separation and divorce, and remembered how much help I got from this site.

My D was final about 2.5+ years ago in early 2012. Looking back I got a pretty reasonable settlement worked out. W and I both retained lawyers and I ended up spending about $20K on my L by the end of it.

I got remarried in 2012, and my new W and I are very happy. My older 2 kids are away - one is out of college and the other is a 3rd year. I have 2 at home half time in high school.

It turns out I have paid much much more of my older kids' expenses that the ex-W. I had the money and did what I could for them even though she contributed very little. It turns out that my ex-in-laws also helped them a lot as well.

I also have provided all the cars for the 4 kids and paid the car expenses. My oldest just started working after finishing school and bought his own car (!).

Luckily for me I have come into some money over the past 3 years which has made everything easier.

Ex-W is still single and hasn't been very happy since the D from what I can tell. She still spends time with her BF, but her early attempts to integrate him with my kids failed a few years back and so she only sees him in private.
