You are absolutely right. When my ex left, he actually told me "nothing will change for you" and it really was the truth. My life is no more difficult now then it ever was. Truth be told, I get more financially now then when I was with him. I am different then a lot of people on these boards because I was coming from nothing. I dont look back and have all these wonderful memories. I did not have to downsize or change my lifestyle habits.
Maybe I am mad more because things never were the way they should have been? Maybe because I tried so hard to always do the right thing. Married someone i believed was responsible,had a good career, seemed like a loyal stable person. I went to school, became a professional, worked hard, lived responsibly ...but i still ended up living the life of a teenager that got knocked up.
And yes. I know. theres so much worse that could happen. Death, sickness, job loss, injury. To any one at any time. Its ridiculous that i hold on to it.
