[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your message to your wife is "I'm divorcing you, but I want you to store my childhood stuff until I decide it's convenient for me to pick it up". You don't get to have it both ways! Either she's your wife or she's not![/quote]

Technically it’s still my house that we bought together, so I have a right to use that space and it doesn’t make sense to pay for a storage space when I literally own a storage space.

And my reason for thinking we should sell it is that she can’t afford it on her own and can’t afford to buy me out. So I shouldn’t have to keep spending my post-marital income on it. We are divorcing and it isn’t my responsibility to provide her with the house just because she says she isn’t ready to move. It would be best for both of us to sell it quickly and move on.

I think both my kids and my wife are too focused on stuff and houses and maybe a positive of the divorce will show them that they should focus on experiences and travel and things like studying for school, preparing for the future, etc. If my wife spent the time she’s worried about decorating for Christmas and preparing for holidays over the years on a career, she wouldn’t be in the financial situation she claims she’s in.[/quote]

I seriously hope your lawyer is telling you to shut up and to run all communications with your spouse by her. If not, you're about to be taken to the cleaners (justifiably so). [/quote]

My attorney writes all of my emails for me now because my wife kept trying to set up traps for me via email. That is no longer a concern and I’m fortunate to have such a hands-on attorney who understands the level of crazy I am dealing with when it comes to trying to communicate with my wife.[/quote]
