[quote] You apparently assume that one-half of everything someone has should belong to his spouse, and based upon only ONE CLEARLY KNOWN FACT, the fact that he got married.
...This works against the man in ninety percent of cases, but is no less outrageous when it works against the woman. [/quote]
When you get married, it's for better or worse. What's yours becomes theirs, what's theirs becomes yours. In almost all cases, one person probably contributes more than the other. I contributed 90% more than my husband.
But I'm not making a lifetime of bitterness out of it. Oddly enough, after 16 years of marriage, I guess he should walk away with half, even if it was almost all of my making and paying. I gave the commitment upfront that it was for richer or poorer. Sadly, it's just turned out that's it's for a lot poorer. But I've accepted it and have chosen to try and rebuild what I've lost. Or at least work towards a good lifestyle for myself and my children.
What I don't understand is why you've chosen the path you have for yourself, where you will make yourself truly demented...over money.
Is it worth losing the joy of living over, or have you always been this way? (In which case that it explains why your ex-wife was content to take you to the cleaners.)
