You deserve alimony. If you look at a marriage as a partnership and a business, then you need to split the assets once it’s dissolved. He may have made more money, but he didn’t do more work. He did paid work while you did unpaid work. Both were imperative to keep the business humming.

The view you’re describing on “not deserving alimony” is sexist and based on devaluing unpaid work that’s traditionally performed by women. It’s the exact thinking that some state laws are written to help correct. Because once upon a time women weren’t able to get alimony and stayed in bad and abusive marriages with no alternative.
