Been there and did this twice....and I'm too old to start over (financially
speaking). It's a sad perspective but none the less, logical for me. I walked away from everything (twice)..stupid...stupid...just too emotionally overwrought to deal with fighting for material possessions. But I can't do that again. If Mr. Wonderful ever finds me loveable, I pray he will agree to separate finances, have actually even thought about duplexes (ha)...if I am ever so blessed, finances and living circumstances would need to be agreed upon. Maybe strange but it's too late in my life and I work too hard to lose again. It would also be stupid for me to allow it to happen. You're in my thoughts and prayers! ~Blessings~

Yes, it is very heartbreaking and the worst part is that he still believes that he deserves it all. Acording to him, since he was the one bringing in the "money" (even though it wasn't enough for us to keep our first home and to not get in debt), he deserves everything. He is a misserable excuse for a man.

Oh God
He gets to keep everything?! I can't even begin to imagine how heart shattering must that be. My thoughts are with you.

The problem is that he had to be the "petitioner" so I could wave the right to go to court and so he had to agree to the petition and sign it and then from there have the final decree.

Oh, you are right and if I had stayed to fight or had had to go back and forth I wouldn't have gotten this job that I am so happy with.

Sounds like talking is out as he keeps changing his mind. If it were me (and I have been through it) I would go ahead with the paper work and let him deal with it from there.

Divorce is hard without all the extra nonsense about who gets what.
no wonder so many woman remain married to their idiots.

It depends on the airline, I guess. They wanted to charge him to do it, but finally they relented and just did it. You need to speak to a manager or keep trying and maybe you'll manage it.

hey that's cool - how did your dad change the ticket?  I tried transferring a ticket in someone else's name before but they said it was impossible once they've been purchased.
