Zues, nice update. Happy for you on the house, on the increased child sharing, on playing pool and doing things that make you happy.
The financial part of a D is complicated for sure, more so in some states than others. My state is no fault, it doesn't matter who wants out for what reason, there's no financial impact for adultery. Mr P and I negotiated what I consider a fair split of assets, and because we used the collaborative process, we were able to do it without the constraints that would have been in place in a traditional D. And although I receive no alimony, I'm happy with what we came up with. I know not everyone feels that way.
You like to call yourself cynical, but I think that's just your analytical nature, your ability to detach and see things from afar. That's a great skill to have, Zues, but I hope someday you are able to let go and just feel your way in and through a new R. I really do.
