divorced & confused Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Hi everyone I'm new to this but just wanted to try it and see what other people said/thought ... I recently seperated from my wife of 12 years (it was my idea because we were growing apart, and there was no affairs, etc.) At first we were amicable, but she soon insisted I speak only to her laywer about everything (she wanted 90% of everything) and so I had to get a lwayer to speak to her lawyer Anyway, it ended up costing me over $5,000 to get divorced, and she got about 70% of everything (which was my orgiinal offer) My question is, I feel really taken advantage of by her, my lawyers and the whole process. I am basically a nice guy who was more than happy with a fair settlemtn, but somehow have ended up feeling very betrayed and jaded and angry at how it all went. Is this common? Does everyone who goes through a divorce feel this, no matter what the outcome? Or is she gloating over it and feeling great and I feel bad? Are my lawyers laughing all the way to the bank? Am I the only one the feels 'screwed'? Thanks
