I am sorry to hear about the recent turn of events with the new man. I have to echo those who say to see an attorney as soon as possible. You definitely need one who specializes in family law. To help make the process more efficient, and less costly, it will help to be prepared when you meet with them. Have data for them- earnings for you both, assets, debts etc as well as an idea of what you want.

Please keep us updated. I wish you strength as you deal with these challenges.

<hugs>

I'm glad you are taking it day by day, and hope in the end, that he is worthy of you

All I can add to the wise advise of the YLF sisterhood is take care of yourself.

Oh, I had thought this was the original thread when I kept seeing it! So sorry to hear about the struggles that are testing you and your new relationship. You are so smart; I just know that things will fall into place. Please remember that money is not everything - in following your heart you may end up with a pay cut here and there but you will be fulfilled and rich emotionally. Big hugs to you during the ever-tough limbo period.
