My Story Johnny Bravo 2
#150: May 24, 2022, 06:46:12 PM
I hope you are doing something for yourself tonight as I’m sure it was exhausting today. Didn’t she work the whole time you were married or am I getting stories confused?  The argument about having a higher salary doesn’t hold much weight (at least for me) if she has been working the whole time.  It’s crazy how wildly different the spousal support laws are between different states.  The problem is that you are basically being further punished and you aren’t the one that did it.  The theme of them being worried so much about their own finances and not being fair because they want all the money themselves is definitely a thing for my MLCer as well.  Mine acts like I’m ridiculous for not agreeing to a horribly bad deal for me.  They just aren’t grounded in reality.  I hope that at least knowing what you are facing can at least bring some peace by just not having the unknown over your head.

JB - Ultimately, she has lost. She has lost you. One day when light dawns on her, that realization is going to hurt like nothing she has ever felt before.  It stinks that you gave 10-20 percent more but I totally get it……..to go to court and fight……..the cost………the longer dragged out process………..sometimes it’s just not worth it. Brighter days are ahead!

JB-

 I know that was a emotional and draining day. It hard to keep seeing that they have changed and not who you loved or who loved you.  She seems to not be thinking clearly financially or emotionally, but I know at some point she will and she will regret leaving her loving and stable relationship. Love and dedication is just hard to find and it will be a rude awakening some day. Glad you have that behind you, even if it did not go the way you hoped.

This is done. Take some time to live with it and then allow it to go.

You have done all that you can.

This is exhausting and you may experience some physical effects....pay attention to what your mind/body is telling you.

Breathe, slowly, breathe in cleansing breaths, breath out the darkness.

We are here for you.
