[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP started this thread as a decent person.... after listening to DCUM bitter women, OP will leave as a different person. [/quote]

She started this thread as a decent person who was about to be divorced and homeless...[/quote]

She could always, you know, honor her vows and not abandon her husband.[/quote]

Back to this question: OP, why are you leaving this guy? You seem to like him. [/quote]

OP here. I respect him as an honest person and a devoted father, but I am leaving because of ongoing emotional abuse/anger issues.

Someone else asked if I cheated: No, I never did. But I'm acutely aware that I am now more than halfway through my life, and I'd like to try and find happiness with someone else while I'm still reasonably attractive and fit.[/quote]

Got it, OP. Sorry that things did not work out between the 2 of you. Take care of yourself in the divorce settlement. A bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush. You are not too far behind him in age, and there are no guarantees that the economy, the market and social security will go as planned for people your age. So take what is legally yours.

Don't forget that you may still end up taking care of him in old age because you share a child with him,  so it is in your interest either way to safeguard some of your joint marital property. Many divorced parents help their children take care of their elderly parents. [/quote]

And OP likely will be the parent who puts her child through college. Not her elderly ExH. But please, please, do not “trade” any present  money in your divorce settlement for his future promise to fund college . It’s better to get 50% now and invest it for your child’s future than trying to enforce the divorce settlement when it’s time for your child to attend college [/quote]
