Lessons I learned? 1) I have peace in my heart knowing I did everything possible to repair my marriage. 2) I now know that nothing I did would have changed the outcome, this was about my ex and his issues. 3) Someone who can lie to your face while carrying on an affair has a character defect that likely shows up in other places and may never be fixed anyway.
This ^^ is golden and what I am trying to get to myself.
Oceangl, I'm glad you are using lawyers and a financial person. You may want to check out the financial course I am doing by Michelle Smith for divorced/divorcing women. I'm feeling more empowered about what decisions I can make for my future.
Hang in there...sending hugs your way. (((Oceangl)))
