Do not worry about his motives, protect yourself. After 34 years, as you say, with the last 12 miserable, you really need to make up your mind that life is too short to suffer like this. There are plenty of great men out there of any age who will appreciate all you have to offer, but you need to be free first to move on with your life. Even if you get divorced, you and your ex can still be friends, but to put it bluntly, save your own butt first! THEN you can worry about whether or not he is sincere. You need to take back your own power and no, you do not intentd to fleece him like some golddigger, BUT you do need to be sure you are safely and securely provided for. I know when things like this happen, people feel like they are the only person in the world it has happened to, but the biggest mistake they make is in not consulting a professional first, in this case lawyers and counsellors, and even your banker, and also then change their minds. Do not let your emotions rule in this, let your common sense rule. change and the end of something are always upsetting, especially at this time of year, but carry with you a vision of what you would really want your wonderful new life to be like, and then take the practical steps you need to to make that new and wonderful reality come about. You CAN do it! And we are here to cheer you on. As someone else on the boards said, you can be abused without the person ever laying a finger on you. Coldness is emotional abuse. Very best of luck and and many blessings! wildaboutbooks44 49 months ago Please sign in to give a compliment. Please verify your account to give a compliment. Please sign in to send a message.
