"Time will tell".. One of your question just got answered.
Is he as happy as he is showing the world? Hummmm?? Obviously NOT!

IMO, he is embarking in the " who is the good guy and who is the bad one." He now wants to tarnish (reality in his mind: punish)you and your reputation. He is taking on the victim role and by doing so, justifying his Affair and misery.

Put all of this sh*t aside. Your divorce is for you and your life. It is part of GALing. It is definitely a business deal and whatever he does in his fog will bite him in the a** in his future.

How old are your children? Mine were 6-9-11-13, now 14-17 soon- 18-21 eventho they could not understand what was going on, they saw his game. they saw his wackiness. they are very protective of me now. They talk back and defend me if he trys to come after me. They vocalise to him what he has put us true. Is he a victim of his own doing? Are we the victim of his wayward life? None of it matters.. He has his life and I have mine. Our children are on their way to create their own. They are taking lessons learn from this crap and hopefully do not repeat their childhood onto their own children..

Your L knows what your next options are. He is working for you and will present you with different scenarios. The decision is yours. Do not let STBX get under your skin. This is not about him, it is about your future.

Big Hug 25!!!!
