But she is the one saying when we fix up the kitchen, when we restore my pickup...
70Cuda,
My wife (now XW) was updating our kitchen and she was planning on giving our master bathroom a facelift as well. And, as far as I know, she was doing all of that while she was planning to separate. I don't understand why she was doing that.
My best guess is that she thought she was going to get the house so she was going to upgrade the house as much as possible while there was still a second income.
Mine did the same thing...she had all these plans for the house...tile the kitchen, new cabinets, hardwood floors...all that while actively pursuing divorce. And I got the house in the settlement...she stopped talking all that when things were done. Means nothing but that she wanted it for herself.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
