Its been awhile since I posted, but I do check back every now and again. This thread is relevent to my sit, so I thought I'd share. Here is my situation:
M45
W40
M13yrs
Sep Since 10/05
D11,S6,D4
Bomb dropped many times. W moved out 01/06.
Currently have a 50/50 agreement for child custody, Divorce filed, should be done by 01/07.
We'd been having tremendous problems for years. Financial problems, infidelity, violence, you name it. I felt like I was trapped in a Jerry Springer show.
W got involved w/OW I guess last October, and they became emotionally bonded right away. They even sent my D11 a bday card signed "Love, W & OW" That was in Jan 06!
It's been 9 months since she moved. I'm in a much better place. The screaming and arguements have stopped. She's filed for full custody, possession of the home, lifetime alimony. It's all pie in the sky, but the thousands I'll be handing over to my atty, wont be. The kids seem to have adjusted well, and have noticed that both of us are much happier apart. I've been doing the dating thing and realized that I'm nowhere near being able to commit to anyone. I've had lots of good offers, but I know I'd be doing someone a disservice by trying to do the one on one thing.
