Any one else delaying divorce from a ltb to get themselves in a better financial position ? Trust me he doesn’t deserve the sympathy if anyone wants to inform me I’m wasting his time!….. he’s wasted 25 years of my life!…. 18 months and counting …

No advice but I don't blame you, as long as you know what you're doing - good on you

Thank you 😊

All I can say (from experience) is: make sure you have a really good lawyer, one who will take no shit. Makes a world of difference.

I was, until my life imploded (his fault) and I was forced to do everything instantly. With the savings grace that he put himself in a position of not having any say over what I then did.

What plans are you putting in place?

Sorry to hear that.
plans are waiting until his business has a big pay out which goes to our account. That should be enough…. Other wise he will hide it

Very smart.

While your at it, make sure you have enough cash to hand/in a private account to find accommodation etc. those first few months can be very expensive.

Yes, biding my time here. It's utterly toxic and damaging to stay, but I know the long game will pay off.

Sending you a virtual hug and hoping you can keep going for your better life xxx
