Okay, thanks for the feedback.  I guess that I just have to let it go and hope for the best.  I want us both - and our kids - to have a good life and be secure - maybe he will surprise me if I actually go through with it.[/quote]

You sound like me. I've spent the past 2 years getting our finances to a much better place so that when we do split (and it's coming very soon) we will each be in a good position to live comfortably with little impact to the kids financially. I'm in a bit better position than you since our HHI split is me 55/45 him -- so if things have to get split 50/50 that's not a whole lot for me to have to give up. The thing I will negotiate is the retirement accounts. He has a pension that will give him monthly payments when he retires, but it probably doesn't occur to him that I could say I want half of those payments when they start up. I know he will hate the idea of sharing the pension so that will be my leverage to not split my 401k or his other retirement savings.

My kids are college/late HS so the only support I want there is half the college expenses, no everyday child support.[/quote]
