STBXW sent me the paperwork for a “friendly” divorce. I saw the email as I was at the vets with a near-dead cat. It’s been a rough couple of weeks with the cat and the realisation that as much as I wanted to save my marriage, I couldn’t.
We met up a couple of weeks ago for the first time in months to go through assets. Unfortunately for me, although I brought in 73% to her 27% of finances, she has stated she will go for 50/50 of the house and our savings. That’s the law in this country which makes sense if you have been a stay at home parent looking after kids etc. It seems so unfair when that isn’t the case in our situation.
Just after she left she took out over €6000 of our joint account to pay for a post-graduate degree and deposit for rental apartment. Since leaving I have been left paying our mortgage single-handed. I just feel as if she has not only broken me emotionally, but she’s about to do it financially too.
