    You might consider contacting Relate before doing anything at all? Twenty eight years is a lot to chuck away?

    Otherwise, in divorce as in other financial matters, honesty is the best policy? And be careful if you have not been up front with the tax man - court cases can bring to light all manner of matters that were previously hidden....:eek:

    Thank you all for your advice, it is much appreciated.

    krisdorey - like your sense of humour.

    jimbog - Antique gold is one thing I'm guaranteed to get wrong. I'd be better with the 330 at Kempton Park.

    Thrugelmir - I apologise and thank you for your concern that obviously was not evident to me from the outset. I'm sorry, I'm just prickly at the moment.

    xylophone - You are correct about Relate and I have considered it. In all honesty we are absolutely fine in all respects with the exception that I cannot get out of my head that she thought of protecting him in all manners possible in the 3 months between 'me knowing' and 'me knowing who'. I can't forgive that and all the lies that went with it. I can't be hurt no more so feel I've got to go for it. I'm sad but now determined.

    I'm off home now, long hard day at work. Thanks all.

    and so you shouldnt, and if the courts used common sense, then they would see the marriage fell apart because of her and therefore she should get the minimum. But they dont work like that.

    Certainly losing it would be a quick fix. Cash is so hard to trace after all....


    Maybe the marriage fell apart because of him? after all why did she have an affair

    things arent always black and white

    So it's ok to have an affair if there's a reason? Sorry no.

    But it was him who came to us for advice - and we offered it.
    If she was to do the same then we would give her advice too
