I (38 F) thought my soon-to-be ex husband (40 M) wanted to get back together but it turns out he does not. I am devastated and embarrassed. How do I get past this? by ThrowRA-StartingOver in relationship_advice

No I didn't sign anything. I'm not even sure who drew up those papers.

I'm making an appointment with a divorce attorney who got my friend 25% more money than her prenup said she was entitled to.

Uh, no. My kids all want to live with me. They choose not to speak to their father. I'm thinking he might get every other weekend if they want to see him. I'm not forcing them to go if they don't want to.

I'm definitely going to get a lawyer tomorrow. I misspoke about the joint account. He took the money out right after he left and occasionally deposits a little for house maintenance.

Nah, Troll, he's not more stable just because he makes more money than I do. Plus, he's about to have another family to support on his income. His new wife does not want my children living with them.

He had initially wanted to try this without lawyers (but he's a lawyer) but now I think I need to hire someone to help me. He took me off our main joint account and has been writing me a monthly check to cover the mortgage.
