[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm. Wondering if she helped put you through grad school? Something doesn't seem right about this.[/quote]

She would have reaped the benefits of that during the marriage and via equity in the house. She didn't deserve 10 years alimony. Not OP, by the way.[/quote]

Maybe OP just had a really shitty lawyer. [/quote]

OP here. You can say that again. It's hard to see when you're in the thick of it.[/quote]

I was the PP who said you maybe had a shitty lawyer. I'm a lawyer myself who actually doesn't practice family law but got an A+ (my only one!) at Harvard Law in that subject. I have also been in a bad marriage. I totally understand. You just do the best you can at the time. Can't blame yourself and bitterness helps no one :)[/quote]

Thanks! I don't feel bitter anymore. Mostly just want it over with. Part of me still can't understand. I am genuinely a good person and always tried to do the right thing. When I married her she was a single mother on welfare. Her child's father was in prison and never contributed a dime to the care of his child. 
I gave them both a good stable life. In return I got a miserable, lazy woman that was physically and emotionally abusive to me. She was a very unhappy woman and we were very unhappy together. I really don't understand how she feels like she's owed anything. That will always boggle my mind. [/quote]

Because you left her. Doesn't matter how miserable you both were, you ended the marriage. She will always view herself as the victim because that's the lense she looks through. She's a woman scorned.[/quote]

Op here. That's probably exactly what she'd say. I can't wrap my head around that logic. [/quote]
