Took me more than a year to get mine over with - Should have taken 90 days.

I wanted to settle and offered her most of everything - she wanted to go to court to take it all - against the advice of everyone involved including her own attorney...

It was agonizing - she drug it out, changing attorneys twice and hiring a third to come in at the last minute.

The judge gave me twice what I ever asked for, and I took it.

She admitted in open court that she wanted me on the street.

Never again. Married 28 years and it degenerated into that.

I hope you heal from this quickly, elleng.

Mine was over in June and I feel soooooo much better I cannot believe it.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
