Sorry to hear the news Wayner. I've been going through it for 5 years and it is a roller coaster. I put up with the criticism, anger and depression for too many years before I finally left. Anger and bitterness are very contagious and it can grind you down.

We are finally reaching the end, property has been divided and I can finally move on. Texting is the primary communication and the bitterness and anger from her is still alive and well. I just don't have to engage her anymore, what's she gonna do divorce me?

Fortunately kids were not involved so it made it a bit easier. I'm satisfied with the judgement and will pay a lump sum to avoid spousal support. Having good legal advice was key along with an excellent mediator who resolved everything in 5 hours (after 3 years of depositions, and other BS).

Keep your chin up, it's not going to be sunshine and lollipops every day but believe me, it will get better. In the end you will feel a metamorphosis and wonder why you stayed for so long.
