I am confident that the OP is my wife; there are enough unique details.
The only reason why I offered her the house is I did not want to upend our daughter who is in high school. Otherwise, she would probably move from the DC area to live nearer the ocean. I am fine with that, but first, let DD finish school. Alternatively, I could buy her out of the house and provide the stability.
One thing she did not mention is this all started when I was diagnosed with chlamydia after 17 years of marriage. when I asked her, she accused me of cheating -- I would know if I cheated. So, I hired a PI, and he got irrefutable proof.
Daughter does not know this. I want it to stay that way. So, I am being more generous than I have to. If I fight her on alimony, I may have to say things in court. So, I made an offer which I think is fair -- I get what I want out of it (daughter's stability); she ends up with about 300K more than she would otherwise get (we owe 200K on a 600K house).
And I want the 10 years on Alimony because I plan to retire in about 10 years.
I know I can be emotionally distant, but she could have talked to me before f***ing someone else.
Wow, fascinating. If you are not a troll (unlikely at this point), then can you two patch things up?
If this guy isn't a troll then he is just dumb, putting all of this information on this thread. Wouldn't this be discoverable?

So we shared, but in a way that benefited the whole family. I feel like if it were 1 million, we would do the same.

Spoken like someone who has never inherited anything. My spouse and I are happily marrried, and I share my annual distributions but my trust is protected in the event of dovorce.

NP here - Don't assume that those who want to share have never inherited anything. I shared my inheritance. I handle all of our finances, and I definitely agree with the sentiment that DH and I are a team and we share.
I think that most married people think they are a team and share. However it's just a fact that a large percentage of marriages fail. No way in hell is anyone who cheated on me taking the money that was entrusted to me.
It's the law. Inheritances which are not commingled are separate property, not marital assets. If you left money for your children, would you want the divorced son or daughter-in-law to get half of everything you worked for? They have their own parents to leave them an inheritance, should they be so fortunate.
