Re: Divorce

Hi Sam therapy helped me through my divorce after 43 years of marriage. No regrets

Re: Divorce

Hi Lily
I got divorce after 36 years at 63 yrs old and I am more in peace , I do not have to put up with him anymore by sometimes controlling ways of when or how long I needed to wait to respond to a text I received from people we both know (from tenants) just because he did not like the person that texted., he had mood swings, he was never Thankful of what he had , always complaining about stupid things etc...
Sometimes I wonder why I stayed so long !
What causes you Lily to divorce after 43yrs of marriage?
Be Happy and safe 🙏🌷

Re: Divorce

Similar reasons control issues especially with money. He actually filed but then wanted to back out of it. I ran with it all the way to the bank. It took almost four years and thousands in attorneys fees but I feel like I was let out of jail after all those years. For anyone staying for what ever reason you can’t get those wasted years back again.

Re: Divorce

Good for you Lily 👏
Sorry you have to go through all this crap with him and the lawyers because of him ...actually my divorce is not even finalized yet it will be already one year and 1/2 and he is not agreeing of some of the division of properties that we built together to be evenly divided or what I have chosen .
Like a yo-yo going back and forward of agreeing.

Well said ... all those years wasted that unfortunately we can not get it back

Never too late right ? as much as it hurt a person
Wish you the best 🤗

Re: Divorce

So sorry you are still going through the process which never ends. I live in CA a community property state Should have been quick and not that hard to settle but alas it wasn’t,. I have three grandchildren two of which have autism. Change is very difficult for them. They were very upset that we may have to give up the family home. He used this to basically blackmail me into agreeing to things I would never have normally agree to. Mind you he already purchased another home he had been living in for two years. If we could not agree on the home the court was going to force it be sold. I let him rob me to keep the family home as not to upset my grandkids and I am glad I did. Stay strong and don’t let him steal from you. You can do this,
