Just to add she accused me of manipulating her with the agreement which is simply not true. At that point, she did not make enough money to buy me out but she wanted me to leave. I told her the only way you can stay in the home is to buy me out.
So getting a job was a prerequisite but it was the only way forwards. I was willing to leave my home so the kids could be spared the trauma of leaving their home.
There was nothing about the agreement that was manipulative but as it stands it's gone.
She actually had the nerve to tell me that most men would have done the honorable thing and left the home and let the wife have everything!!! I said so you wanted me to leave the home that I helped pay for and made more money than you and go live in a one bedroom apartment and see my kids 20% of the time? What exactly is there in this for me?
