[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$4.1mm in real estate (net of cap gain, still have mortgage $850k). 
Income from real estate: $250,000/year
Employment income $60,000/year (mommy-tracked and recently went back to corporate)

43 y.o., one child almost college age; high net worth dad finances college.

I feel poor after a marriage with $1mm annual income where I could afford anything. Would marry again but only someone with assets and higher income than mine. I dont believe in marriage for love. Mine was for love and it fell apart in adultery. Partnership, good sex, common goals - this I believe into[/quote]

Looking past the “I feel poor” comment for a minute, can you explain what happened re: the adultery, how it affected the marriage, the aftermath, and why it ended in divorce?[/quote]

18 years together (married while both young professionals, not much money at all). He's very energetic, me too. Initially we were excellent business partners, not just husband&wife. We've built a small real estate empire during 17-year long marriage. I retained most of it.  He built one more company in a finance field and was sleeping with his business partner for 5 years, before I found you. I confronted him, he initially asked for divorce and announced me a separation. But 1.5 years after, he didn't file for a divorce, and settlement negotiations tanked when he figured how much it would cost

I filed, got rentals, he kept his other business. Our son completely dishonored him, living with me. My exH is very insecure, angry man since divorce (my son tells he snaps almost each time they meet). He's still with his mistress but it doesn't look like any one got happier after the divorce.

I am probably happier, not living with adulterer anymore and having my own money. But I feel lonely.
