A woman needs a mans perspective

07/29/11 06:53 AM

Hello all,
I realize this is the men's rights forum, but I could really use a man's input. I want to file for divorce. I have been married for eleven years and my husband has never worked. He doesn't beat me or cheat on me and I guess that was enough for a long time. Anyway, After my daughter was born four years ago we agreed that he would become a househusband. I wasn't raised to depend on a man for money, and I make good money, so this seemed an ideal solution. Problem is, I still am expected to do all the cooking, cleaning, shopping, etc. and he is a compulsive spender. I want to be superwoman, but I am just too tired. Now to the problem. I spoke with an attorney. I told him that I want to give my husband the house, and will pay it off. I want joint custody. He should be able to see his daughter whenever he wants. They need each other, and it would be unhealthy for either of them to not be able to have contact at will. Because I am the one who always worked I also feel like I should be paying generous alimony. I don't want either of us to suffer any more than necessary. I just don't want to live with him anymore. The lawyer feels that I should sell the house and make him get an apartment. He is also advising that I only pay the barebones amount of alimony for only as long as the court makes me. In addition, he wants me to sue for primary custody which "we don't have to follow later if I don't want to". HELP! I don't want to be THAT woman. As many of you have been taken to the cleaners by your ex, or just dealt with bad situations, I thought you might be willing to give me some advice on how you would have liked to be treated. Do I listen to my conscience or my lawyer????? Thanks.
