question about alimony

Again, couldn't find a spot on this site to just write a message, but thanks for your response to my question. I am glad to know that  I am not the only one going through this.  Thanks for your advice to be carefull too-I am-that is part of the hard part.  Trying to repair a marriage when there is so little trust and respect-you can't just "start over" when trust and respect have been smashed to smithereens. I hear what you are saying about not staying being necissarily "right".  I just feel that there is a difference in not staying in a marriage because I don't feel safe, and not staying because it is too hard.  Right now, I feel safe with him-I am just trying to spend some time and see if the "safe" feeling will stick.  He sounds like he is remorsefull and says all the right words of how wrong he is, but then he starts with all the stuff I did.  I know I made mistakes, believe me, I have issues too; but it is hard to accept that he has REALLY changed when he still spends so much time focusing on the problems of others instead of his own.  Thanks for letting me bend your ear-I feel a little less lonely right now.

thanks for responding to the friend offer-hope your day is going great!

Thanks,
That's what I thought and as I intend to die single my ex will just have to pay for the next 5 years.

marriage trumps the farm sale - your ex is not required to support your new husband.
