Hi everyone... There are lots of new faces, and it seems like I've been so busy lately that I haven't been as in touch here as I'd like to have been.


Tell us who you are, and anything about yourself that you'd like to share and what part of the world you live in.


I'm Karen from Nashville, TN.

Rediculous is his middle name right now. Or maybe it's greedy, lol. This is so about money. He just wants every dime he can get from me. He knows I'll find a way to pay him off without selling dd's piano. In his mind it's a win/win. He gets half the value and she keeps the piano.

The clarinet is a little easier to claim is the child's, as you noted. There I can say it goes with the child so it's not an asset of this household.

Hi, I've been lurking here for serveral months now. I was widowed for 8 years before remarrying. We have been married for almost 5 years. Seperated for about a month. I'm in south GA. He was not from here and could not seem to adapt. We finally decided he should go back and see if he couldn't get is self together. I miss him something terrible. He's much happier now. The question is do I go there and see if we can work it out? There would be lots of issues with that. But if I don't; will I always wonder if it would have been the right thing to do.

I too have been in 27 yr marriage...no physical abuse, just emotional abuse. 3 sons, 25-21 and 10. Filed in January and still adjusting but have faith things will get better. It is good to hear encouragement from other long term marriages that ended.

Hi dmwbm,

Emotional abuse is worse than physical abuse. It does get alot better. There will come a time when you suddenly look back and just shake your head why you had put up with the idiot so long and realize that they will alway be miserable creatures where ever they are.
There are alot of us out there. We stayed because we had children and thought it was the thing to do. Be proud that you kept your commitment way longer than you should have.

I'm "Ann" 33, I live in South Florida I've been married for 6 years yesterday and together with him a total of 13 years. Together we have a 5yo DD and I have a 14yo DD from a previous relationship (as he also has a 14yo) I asked for the divorce, but as I soon realized the emotions of everything still occurs!!!

We live together until the lease is up (2 more months) I haven't started the process as of yet, worried about a reaction while we are still together, worried about the cost, etc. It has though to say the least driven me crazy over this year. His words, his actions, his comments, have all but destoyed the usual calm person I had been...but as I get closer to sealing the deal on my own apartment. I am getting stronger.
