Your kids are really going to love you when they find out you were cheating and left their dad with no retirement.

You get 50 percent unless he goes scorched earth. If he does that, you'll be lucky to end up with $100k.

DH pays for everything. You have an AP. Yet you are miserable. You reap what you sow.
Get a divorce and try to be fair to your oblivious DH.

Then you are set - one to pay the bills and the second to "serve" you. Sounds like a win-win situ.

So you have no basis for complaint. You'll both have the same assets and earning power. Go your separate ways. Focus on building assets for retirement.

$600k = "not much."
Having an affair.
Husband pays for everything.
Husband is a decent guy.

This seems too cartoonish to be real -- like an MRA's caricature of what women are like: money grubbing, faithless, and easily bored.

$600K is not much but you are not old and you have a job.

Get a financial planner and a lawyer and get out. Life is too short.

I have $800K (myself), kids in college and a job (with retirement) and I am getting out as soon as possible without screwing the college fund.

How old are you both? Are you done paying for college?

Prepare to divorce him. But first offer to do marriage counseling. Enough is enough.

Why are you here writing about it. Go to an attorney and start the process.

I am considering to divorce DH. We have approximately $1.2 million in assets. Assuming I get 50 percent, that's not much is it?
