I'm getting a divorce.

December 19th, 2019 at 06:48 am

I don't believe it either. After 20 years, I could no longer keep any hope of a better future, given his current and past attitudes about anything and everything. Throw in a couple kids and the years just kept coming. It was never a good time to leave.

I'm thankful I have a good job. Can't enjoy a penny of it though, as I am now also the sole provider for 2 households. So I have resorted to joining the gig economy to supplement my income. I signed up to deliver groceries. I haven't started yet but I'm hopefull.

Looking for extra ways to earn money outside of my job is now my main focus. I get tired just thinking about it. I'll save that for another post.

I'm hopefull for 2020, for some very nerdy superstitious reason, the number 19 is my number. I'm super pleased I clocked in this milestone this year 2019. My year supposedly.

    20 years & you’re only in your early 30’s? You have grown up together & this will be a huge change for you, hopefully for the better.

    Thanks for the kind words. Yes, it's a whole new reality. It's tougher than I thought to be honest.

    I'm so sorry. Get yourself a good lawyer; if he has not been pulling his fair share without excuses it is time for him to step up and support himself. You live in a community property state so half of what you have earned during your marriage is considered his, unfortunately.

    And take care of yourself during this stressful time! Don't burn yourself out with the side work!
