Wife files divorce after I confronted her 2nd EA

[1313]

Moral of the story: I should have kept our finances separate and put into the joint account only what is necessary.

Amen brother. I was a completely trusting fool, and put my W on everything. So I've had to hire a forensic accountant to show that I've got some things completely separate.

The W mentioned in our little back-and-forth today that I was out to ruin her financially. If she really believes that, she's still pretty far out there. But I am going to protect myself, and get what I'm legally entitled to. She's the one that got the L, not me.

I think one of the biggest blows I had in all this was to find out the W had gotten a separate bank account and was funneling money there while I was scrimping and saving and juggling accounts.

Yeah, "team". "We". All that goes right down the toilet when your WW goes AWOL doesn't it? Just words.

At least you've got a larger chunk of the house, and might be able to work things out without liquidating. Fingers crossed.
