Financial Impact of Divorce Posts Will Come Later
One of my major financial goals right now is to get as much money saved up as possible. I’ve made it clear many times that we don’t have much savings. All that’s gone now and I am working to save up my own emergency fund.
Although I’m somewhat confident that this blog is private enough that my soon-to-be ex wouldn’t know how to find it, I find myself very hesitant to post anything about my financial decisions just yet on the off-chance he does recall the name of this blog and uses it to guide his own decision making process during the divorce.
All this means is that I’m saving all my posts about the financial impact of divorce for the time after the divorce becomes final.
I will say I’m doing okay. Emotionally, I have my moments, because let’s face it, despite our money issues, I have never wanted a divorce, but there wasn’t really an alternative I could live with after certain revelations.
I’m dealing with the divorce by keeping my eyes looking toward the future and contemplating the beautiful possibilities that are coming to my attention, and although I wouldn’t have given up the marriage for them, what’s done is done. I have to look to the silver lining.
The Silver Lining
- Total financial control
- No more sharing important decisions
- Freedom to live however I want
- Opportunity for a more loving marriage in the future; the chance to have a true partner
Things don’t seem so bad.
