Yepppppppppppp!

I don't have any positive good impressions about her at all.

She probably has a Bad-Boy or two or three or four (you get the idea) to take the OP's place later.

Lean on your friends and family and allow yourself to grieve. It will get better and you will get past it, even if it doesn't seem that way now.

Guh, such encouraging words. Though I can't imagine this happened overnight. I wonder if she was even sure she wanted to get married in the first place.

Can she actually get alimony after only 5 months of marriage?

I don't sugar coat most things.

IMO It was planned over the years in an attempt to collect, now if she actually does is another story.

get a good lawyer now.
file now.
do not wait for the truck to hit you.
the person that is filing a law suit against you is not your friend.
you just thought they were. no more than the pet anaconda that sleeps with you.
50% marriage failure, 26% of guys did not see it coming
75% divorces filed by women.

My heart is torn out of my chest.

I don't really know what else to say. I just want some encouraging words...people say it will get better but I feel like it won't...
ablau, I'm so sorry for the pain you are in! You need to understand, you are in shock right now - this kind of news is like hearing your best friend was just killed in a horrible accident. You need time to absorb the reality of your situation. For right now, just try to be good to yourself - drink and eat to nourish your body and surround yourself by friends. It WILL get better and you will survive, you just have to take things one day at a time for a while.

Hugs to you.

I can respect calling a spade a spade, if it is in fact a spade.

But, now I'm really curious about the alimony thing. Though I'm sure that's not the main thing on his mind right now.

Wow. Your words seem to depict the way my husband behaved when I told him.

I am so sorry for what you are going through. Not long after, he raked me over the coals. I hope things work out for the two of you, but if they do not, I hope for a civil parting.

My advice is to make sure you do nothing that you will regreatt later. At some poit you will need to come to terms with teh divorce and still feel good about yourself.Its easy to decide to get revenge during the process but that usaully end with both coming out with little and never coming to terms long after they except the fact.

She will go for it and if the OP "just goes with the flow" he'll "lose badly".

She has already shown to take the divorce initiative which was planned so what's to stop her from taking this to the hilt with most of the laws and judges on her side?
