She went back to school and became an attorney. The experience and new profession brought out a hateful aspect of her personality. She became a total bitch.Umm. In my case all was well until the 2008 crash. Then it became quite apparent that the money was the thing. I owned four companies at that time and all of them were wiped off the map.
I was still happy because I was in the golden age of parenthood. I had a son and daughter, three years apart in age, and was all about being dad. I was in demand professionally, a go-to guy in my area. There was enough to be happy about that I didn't let the psychological and verbal abuse get me down.
When the kids were 12 and 15, she filed and kicked me out. Tried to take more than her share, but I had attorney friends too. I moved to a rental house not far from the old house and began again. Made a fun place for the kids to be 6 out of every 14 days. I returned to the local music scene. I made new friends. I met a beautiful lady.
She had grown up in Dallas, in a catholic community. She went to catholic school. Though she no longer attends mass or practices religion, that upbringing is very much a part of who she is. She believes in god and Jesus and knows I don't. We dated for several years, lived together a couple more, and married a while back.
The first wife was an atheist bitch. The second is a catholic sweetheart. So in my experience, marital relations have less to do with religion and more to do with how she treats you. Do the two of you click and spark? That's what matters.
Once the money stopped, so did she.
In court, I got financially raped because she was the mother.
But where are we now?
Well, I own my own home outright and have no debt. My kids have keys and can come and go as they please. They will own that home outright because those are the terms of my will in the event of my death. My eldest will be appointed executor shortly.
She has put herself in debt to the hilt, (she will die with a sack of debt), has a partner that pays none of the bills (literally none) and her own kids consider her of...challenged intellect. It is so bad that I find myself defending the bitch.
