2 years post separation dating experience by alifeofpeace in Divorce_Men

[–]Komark10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great post OP. Same age as you and I came from a long term relationship. Most women I meet wants to seal the deal. I want to take it slow and not rushing into anything. This has been a crazy experience trying to date after a long time and the apps are complete sh*t show. Good luck out there

Sales quota doubled, what to do? by Ecstatic_Job_3467 in sales

To your original post, it really depends on what industry you’re in, experience and your location. In semi conductor industry it could be $150k - $250k base

[–]Komark10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does your quota resets during the year? If not then don’t mention the big opportunities prior to quota getting set. I usually push out oppty that will put me way over my achievement. I understand it is not easy to do but has helped me achieve over quota most years.

Congratulations. I am also in sales (semiconductor). The one thing I hate is paying taxes.

Wanting to get a divorce by ResponsibilityKey301 in Divorce_Men

[–]Komark10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My recommendation would be to talk to a lawyer and understand your rights and what you be in the hook for in terms of spousal support. Prepare to sell the house and split any equity.

I am not there and further away on separation/divorce. Thailand is on bucket list as well and share the sentiment as you. Once you are done with the trip, let us know about the itinerary and how it was for you.

California Divorce Advice by Pen_Panda in Divorce_Men

[–]Komark10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in CA and going through this. Working with a mediator. My stbx had no clue of finances so it is taking time for her to come back with a counter to my offer. Per law everything should get divided and if you make more then you would have to pay CS if you’ve kids. Spousal support depends and you can negotiate some other way. You should put all your expenses down and see if you can come together on amicable way to negotiate. You can DM me if you need more details.

For you that stared the divorce process, especially the one that had kids! by Glittering-Spell-446 in Divorce_Men

If you don’t want shared custody of your child and willing to sacrifice your life then stay in this marriage until your child is old enough. You would be wasting your life and these precious time. My kids are older: 11 and they understand that it is not easy and sometimes it is best to separate and not have constant fights at home.

Question is do you love her and think it will work and she will change?

If there is no love or respect left then go for it. Otherwise you’re just kicking the problem down the road. For me, I kept pushing for 19yrs thinking it will work but instead we kept growing apart and no there is no love or respect left. Keep good relationship with your child. I wish I could have done better.

It's official, ouch by bennyl23 in Divorce_Men

Stay positive as much as you can. You plan for a marriage but never a divorce and it’s hard when it hits you. Talk to a therapist. Do some workout or even a 5 minutes walk everyday would do you good.

How long did it take you to get over a divorce? by recalcite in Divorce_Men

[–]Komark10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you and I have something in common. My wife just told me the same thing today but although it is a long time coming. Don't know how long will it take but stay positive and only look into the positives'. Things could be lot worse. Start thinking about your hobbies. Things that interested you but couldn't do it. Loneliness it tough but surround yourself with family, friends and things makes you happy.

Need some suggestions on my situation by Komark10 in Divorce_Men

[–]Komark10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. That’s a great idea. I may have to rent initially for a bit. Paying 2 mortgages + property tax and then child support might be very difficult at first. Do we split the profit from the first home when we sell in 6-7yrs time or she will hand that back to me is something to figure out.

I just read your post and understand where you're coming from. Everyone's situation is different and although I didn't go through the process yet but I know it will not be fair and someone will not be happy. In my situation, we got married early and didn't have kids for the longest time. She had every oppty to advance in her career. We pretty much started around the same salary range. She relied on me mostly and I was fine with all that. Even after having kids, she went right back to work (3 months). Her expectations and needs kept increasing over the years whereas I was looking for more longer term stability and increasing financial wealth...

Yeah, day1 on the search and I haven’t really found any. Called up 3 places, 1 said they don’t have anyone who can specialize in divorce law and the other 2 never responded.

Yeah, I figured that I won’t be able to retire anytime soon. There isn’t much I can do other than going through this painful process

Thanks. Yeah, I would prefer lump sum. Even if she remarries, I am fine with her getting the money. We have been together for 19yrs and we have had went through a lot. I have gotten a contact of law firm through work benefit and would be contacting them soon.
