I gave up 75% of my worth and accumulated a five figure attorney bill in my early 30’s. It was financially devastating and ultimately worth every penny.
I know people keep telling you but the future is not as grim as you think it will be and the Emotional ‘value’ of moving on helps offset the financial ‘cost’ of dissolution.
We share a now grown child and and a grandchild together. While it’s been many years and I don’t see her often I actually look forward to getting caught up with her now and, from time to time, actually have a laugh over a shared memory. I send her birthday, Christmas and Mother’s Day greetings. Would have never predicted that 30 years ago.
Every divorce is different of course....
