@jsw3883 1 year on and I'm still alive, so I'm counting that as a plus!
Reasonably amicable- no cheating etc. 2 kids involved. I lost the house, got out with $70k.
We're both struggling big time, like yourself it's been an enormous financial hit for both of us.
Similarly, I've met lots of people in the same position but they aren't doing well. After 3 years people seem to brighten up a bit.
I've heard lots of divorcees have trouble keeping a follow-up relationship alive as the new partner is putting up with the old baggage. I just won't go there personally.
I've lost a lot of income switching from fulltime to part time work so I can actually get good time in with the kids. I try to see them every day but sometimes there are 4 day gaps which are soul destroying. So the financial hit continues with loss of wages.
It's all about the kids for me. I'll live in a van or a yacht but I won't stop seeing my kids and giving them the best.
