My XW started out that way, and she actually told me she was doing it because she thought it would make the transition to D easier on me. Easier! Wow! But she said she felt so bad treating my like crap that she couldn't do it, and she never did again from that point on. I guess it doesn't bother your W as much, LOL!

Ah, AS, that was the night before, with all the talk of her 2 friends who ended up back together with their exes. I guess she could have done a better job of connecting the dots though.


Duh, not sure how I forgot that so quickly.

Take it from me, it's not worth it. Post BD sex with a WAS is pretty joyless, haha!

I was also concerned about her using certain funds as a downpayment, but my L said not to worry, it'll all come out in the end, and the judge will not look kindly on any fraud.


On the one hand your L is right, but on the other hand when it comes to D time it doesn't matter how much you're awarded if your spouse has already blown it all on a wild spending spree. That happens a lot! The court can demand that they pay you, but in the end they may or may not bother to do so. Enforcement can be tricky business.
