so I made an appointment with the best lawyer in our town... she took my info, stated there was no conflict of interest and I took the day off work and went to my appointment. Sat there for 30 minutes and the receptionist came out and said there was a conflict and they couldn't see me. I called my ex and it turns out he has an appointment with her. But what I don't understand is my appointment was today... his isn't until next week. Why are they willing to see me but not him? Can anyone shed some light? I'm so terrified because his family has more money than mine does and I'd hoped by using her I would be protecting myself.

I have an appointment with another one on the 19th. I'm just so angry and honestly... I'll admit it... I was weak... two days ago we actually talked about getting back together and I'd hoped he had changed. I'm glad he so quickly reminded me why I left. As soon as he got caught in a lie the name callin and trashing began again. I don't want to be with him. But it breaks my heart that I'll no longer be a wife. His wife. That I stood at that alter and promised him the world and then let him down (I did in some ways) and he flat out destroyed me and it's going to end like this. I really naively thought we could be friends. Even after all the no contact advice etc... I believed we could be friends. I desperately wanted to be friends

It does get better after the divorce then the
healing can begin. Not saying the transitioning
Is easy. Get into a divorce care group. It helps
A lot with the grieving and divorce issues, HUGS

There's usually blame on both parts. Don't put this all on yourself. He's the one missing the boat. Express your concerns about your husbands family wealth to your lawyer. Don't talk to any of them. Be an exemplary citizen till this is done. Unfortunately even having a drink with friends can be turned into you being a lush. So unfair but be cautious...it happens.

How did that end? Did you manage to win the case?

Thanks for the advice in this thread! I found it accidentally, but now I know I need to proceed with the divorce process, and it will get better.
I will also look for a divorce support group for women and hope it will help. I usually have little trust that other people will help me, but I want to give it a chance. I also got the best lawyer I could afford from https://bsmlaw.com.au/parramatta-lawyers/ because my friends recommended it. I hope to solve everything in a more or less peaceful so I can save what’s left of my mental health for the future.
