Since it is a bye week, I will revisit the major concern of my summer (and CF off-season). As many of you know, I became aware of the existence of an extramarital affair pursued by my (ex) wife in May. Although I tood advantage of a couple of Fri-Con threads, most of you were very supportive when I would bring up the topic. Just in case any of you needed closure, I can let you know that the divorce is finalized this month.
Here is how it went down (short-ish version).
The affair fell apart after I approached her about its existence, at which point she left and moved back in with her parents. I never had to ask for a divorce, because she did first. We did everything pro-se (no lawyers). It was relatively easy, since we didn't have kids.
The only thing I could complain about is that she got the really nice washer/dryer set that I will have to replace, but for now have been doing the laundry-mat thing. Another thing that kinda blows is that my tax liability will be higher now filing single instead of married -- small price to pay, I guess.
Everything considered, I'm making out pretty freakin' good I think -- Getting the major electronics (computer and monster TV, but she took the blu-ray player and old junker TV).
The best part of all, I got BOTH vehicles (already sold hers), the house, and better yet, she gets NONE of my 401k or any alimony, either.
As if things couldn't look better, ISU is 3-0 and I am in line for a promotion at work!
