State18, Sorry you going through this, but the reality is your WAW is staying there for financial purpose, and maybe even waiting for taxes to come and to take what belongs to her.
I mean you say ya are trying to work on marriage why would W ask about taxes I know I would be focusing on marriage and kids. But a WAW is selfish and all about them. You need to first financially protect yourself if you read many stories here the 1st thing is protect your finances please my W clean me out on April as soon that check came in W took and all the savings and walk out literally and left me at the time the 3 kids. Within 2 or 3 months she was traveling to 3 or 4 different countries while I was wondering how I was going pay rent, bills and food in the table when I ask W her reply that's not my problem. Trust me WAW are like Vampires they suck you alive. All I can say is financially protect yourself. And if you have kids please protect them. For now put that money up a d tell W let's focus on our family.
