Some of you may have read my previous posts about my STBXW and our 14 month marriage. Well, we're close to the 1 year separation required by our State (NC) and it's approaching filing time.
Despite her having a $16k engagement ring, my spending more than what she earned during our short marriage, her taking $5k out of our joint checking account (of which I funded from my pre-marital assets) and left there to pay for final bills, refusing to pay for 1/2 of our last month's credit card debt, refusing to pay for 1/2 of our taxes, she is now asking that I pay for the full cost of our divorce or at least half.
Clearly I made a HUGE mistake in marrying this woman so quickly after only 6 months together. What she presented in the beginning changed quickly to a controlling, critical and non-compromising wife. Nothing that I did for her was good enough and would be chastised for the one small thing that I didn't do her way. She also tried to use the police to control me by lying that she was assaulted and was in fear of her life because I had guns in the house and I was imbalanced.
I sent her a letter stating that I will not contribute anything more than what I have already. That if she contests anything but a simple divorce, I will go after half of what I am legally entitled to. I spent over $60k on her during our short time together and yet still wasn't enough.
So what say you? Stand on principle and have her pay for it or get it over with and spend even more money to get her out of my life? I feel so pissed that despite everything she was given, she still wants more from me. And never appreciated the things I did provide to her -- it always seem 'expected'. Thank God the pregnancy she had miscarried.
