re: OT: Anyone ever been through a divorce here?

Well ... ... then.

I am speaking from the perspective of a decent earner and one who has saved and planned.

This is typical in instances where a man earns enough to support a stay at home (ostensibly) mother who otherwise would be gainfully employed. .

Those were exactly my circumstances, except I was the saver & planner, and it would have been MUCH easier, financially, particularly in the beginning until things were settled, to stay in the marriage. But as I said, the money was not nearly as important as my own sanity & happiness.

I understand and believe there are women who seek frivolous divorce settlements, and I have zero respect for them. They make it more difficult for women like myself by giving all of us this rep. Any female who honestly is desperate to be done with and be severed from her spouse for legitimate reasons, will not care about anything more than what is best for her children, being treated fairly financially, and being able to get on with her life.
