I would love to see the list. I am sure others would as well.
I cannot share the entire list because some items are so specific that, if H ever came here, he would know this is me. However, here are a few of the more general things on the list:
-Get a dog! -Move to a more desirable location w/ better schools (H picked our current home) -Spend more time with my out-of-town family, allowing my kids to get to know them better -Get more quality sleep. (H is a night owl who likes to sleep with lights and TV on all night) -No longer will have to attend H's boring business events. He owns a small business. -Can save some money and cut expenses. (H has often been financially irresponsible.) -Less stress = better health overall -Will have more time to spend with old friends. (H disliked a few of my friends) -Will have more time to bond and develop deeper relationships with my kids. -More time to develop spiritually. -Longer vacations and I get to pick the location! (H always wanted short vacations and we disagreed a lot on locations) -More time to devote to community service. -More time to devote to my career development. -Less mess to clean up at home. (H is a slob). -Complete freedom to walk around my home wearing whatever and looking however I want! -If H had certain weekends w/kids, it would be the most he has ever spent time with them, freeing up some scheduled "me time" for me! Girls trip, anyone?! Spa weekend? Winery tour? Shopping trip? (All things H never wanted me to do) -Can retire to wherever I want (well, within reason, of course). -After kids leave home, can find work that allows me to travel extensively - a dream I have had.
