Hi Pudding123,
He is definitely entitled to half, it’s irrelevant you earned More than him or what his spending habits were in comparison to yours; pensions will also be equalised so you both have roughly the same.
However, you are right (in my opinion merely from reading your post of course and my own experience of leaving an unhappy relationship) to leave.
I can give you a mantra that worked for me every time I had doubts about leaving, particularly bearing in mind that one can’t change anyone else, one can only change oneself.
I kept reminding myself that ‘ life isn’t a rehearsal ‘. also work hard to let the money niggles go and accept that things are fifty fifty and thus out of your control. Being angry/sad about what you may perceive as ‘unfair’ division will only hurt you.
The very best of luck, in a couple of years post divorce all the trauma will have faded provided you let all your annoyances, etc., go and you will live a happy life . Take care
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
Good Morning Wednesday 24 April 2024
