[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what if you reframe this whole situation as seeing that he did you a favor?  Men have a shorter lifespan, so if you stayed together, you're statistically more likely to be his caretaker.  On the other hand, men often leave or cheat when their wives get sick, so he likely wouldn't have been there for you, anyway.  So, in this case, he can go spend his half of the marital assets on younger women for a few years and die alone and poor.  And you can take your half of the marital assets and live a responsible life and spend your time with your kids and your friends with no grouchy old man to clean up after, cook for, or run to doctor's appointments.  He may seem like he's "winning," but it won't last - men fall off a cliff around 60, and at that point, he'll just be a lonely, grouchy old man, alienated from his family and probably many of his friends.  Try to see it as a good thing, because it might be. [/quote]

What a wonderful fairy tale!  :lol: [/quote]

Live long enough and pay attention to your elders, and you'll get it. [/quote]
