greensd – since the perspectives are sometimes asymmetrical, are you the husband or wife in the divorce?
Husband and sole breadwinner. My ex is talking about going back to school, but hasn’t and hasn’t gotten a job either. So, yeah, I write a huge check every month. I’m just saying, by any objective measure my divorce was a financial catastrophe for me, and it still beats having to spend the next forty or fifty years with that woman. Just like people don’t usually decide to get married just for the money, I don’t think the choice to split up is very often made on purely economic grounds. Sure, plenty of divorces turn into fights over money in court, but that’s not what it’s really about.
