Just got off the phone with the lawyer.
Husband's lawyer says there is no way he will pay me spousal support, even if my lawyer thinks I am entitled to it.
This is the sticking point in the agreement.
On one level, I want to let go and be done with it.
On another level, I think of all the years I was the breadwinner,
travelling and exhausting myself for the family,
and now that he is making more than I am I want my pound of flesh
--and then I think about the expenses I have to pay--by myself--and
I become angry.
Truth is though, I know the right thing to do is to let go.
Even if husband is making more money now,
I have always made more than him and can again.
But geeze, I am so tired of being the good one, the mature one
--I would like to make husband give me something,
just to pretend I was getting back a bit of what I had lost
--and to cover my costs for the health insurance, etc.
