Sorry to disappoint Sunset. I think if you really love each other some things can be accepted and worked out.
Friends have told me after going thru rough and expensive divorces "it would have been cheaper to keep her".

I believe that this is the coming thing here also, and although I am getting old now, so perhaps it makes less difference, nothing could convince me to marry again, even though I strongly care for my girlfriend and she seems to care for me.Not getting married in the first place is even cheaper. 90% of South Korean males between the ages of 25-29 are unmarried. Avoiding marriage is how you avoid "rough and expensive divorces".
Micheal Strahan was worth 17 million, got divorced and was worth 4 million.
Thanks to the prenup, and overspending. The prenup they signed said that she would get 20% of his earnings, in addition to the marital assets. That guarantees she would get a lot more than him, no matter how much he made. That's a bad prenup for him. He would have been far better off without one.
Good Morning Tiger8693!
I'd guess that things aren't going to change really. Even with therapy, kc1081 was right in their post to you, in my opinion. Try to make a divorce "her idea" so she feels some power in this separation. I'd say move on, take the risk, and stop going sideways. It will be scary, and financially burdensome but heck, beans and rice are healthier for you than steak anyway. Plus, you will never feel more alive until you get yourself back. There are women hungry for a good man out there I promise, but don't ever get married again. Make that clear in your new relationships. Get a good lawyer, but please remember, they are NOT your friend, they want to make money off of you so "try" to work out an arrangement with her before you "cut the cord" and fly, IF you can. Lawyers "play" you and "each other" and you pay for that so be careful there. Plan your exit carefully, as smooth as you are able so your settlement is your only focus. Most Important though, and we won't call it manipulation: we will call it strategy, MAKE A DIVORCE HER IDEA and you are half-way there! Good Luck!
Wow.
First let me say I am divorced and remarried.
So I am not judging.
This thread has too many replies promoting divorce. OP life is much better and simpler and hopefully happier n a committed marriage. Please do all you can to save your marriage before leaping into a divorce. Divorces are painful for all involved and should be the step of last resort.
The above advice is just crap!
FYI, at the time of his divorce, Strahan's assets were around $22 Million. I don't know who drew up that prenup, but it obviously didn't take into account child support, which I think he is still paying at a rate of $216,000/year.
OTOH, don't feel to bad for him. His current net worth is somewhere north of $65 Million. I think he'll survive.
... But be ready to hide YOUR assets in case she gets mad.
I'm just imagining some of these posts being looked at by a lawyer and used out of context. Makes me cringe.
For my part, maybe I was trying to solve everything..
