Just curious....what will it matter if you settled 50/50 or 60/40? Won't the same guy be working in your shop and sleeping in your bedroom? PLUS, now you'll have ADDED the ugliness.

I'm in the same boat as you. I know I did wrong, what with the smoking and drinking and all. And sure, AA (or some other alternate alcoholism counseling) isn't a bad idea if you're REALLY going in the tank and hitting the bottle. You have to think of your daughters, too.

Be careful. After you move out and there's no one to watch you you could REALLY start hitting the bottle. Might not be a bad time to take up a hobby or start an exercize program. I fully 100% understand the lure of drinking. It's hard to control and some folks just CAN'T control it all and have to abstain completely.

For me, I don't care if my settlement is 50/50 or 60/40 or whatever. I can make money easier than my STBX. I want her to have a nice apartment and be relatively financially secure, at least to the extent I can provide. It's not worth the fight.
