So sorry he turned out to be a REAL jerk. I know the hopes for change are great while trying hard to make a marriage work & it does hurt to have to walk away even KNOWING that it's their personality issue that has caused it.

Sometimes life alone can be so much more PEACEFUL after all you have gone through...just takes some time to adjust.

With his new rich income, I would think that in divorce, child support & spousal support will be a lot greater now than what it would have been if you had divorced earlier????

Glad you didn't put all your eggs in one basket hoping he would change. He is the one who should be humiliated for behavior like that, not you, but I understand how that happens & works when their arrogance kicks in.

Honestly my life alone after 33 years in a bad marriage has been the best thing that ever happened to me. The feeling of peace & freedom does come when we start to get settled into the new life.

You may find teen problems to be less once the marriage issues are out of the picture.
