Divorcing a Spouse Who Has No Sense of Accountability

A recent article on the En Pareja website told the stories of four men whose marriages had ended in divorce after each man had been married to his wife for decades. The stories differed regarding what was the final straw that led the men to file for divorce, but a common thread among all of them is that the wives refused to accept responsibility for anything that happened during the marriage. In some cases, the wife would become so angry or distraught when the husband began discussing a problem, financial or otherwise, that the couple was facing, that the husband gave up pursuing the matter. In other cases, the wife blamed her problems, great and small, on other people, including but not limited to her husband. Just getting through the day with someone like that is exhausting, much less going through a major life change like divorce. This is one of those situations where you can’t go around it; you have to go through it. The first step to getting to the other side is to contact a Mississauga family lawyer.

Laying Your Cards on the Table During Your Divorce Case Is the Hardest Part

When long marriages end in divorce, the relationship usually unravels gradually, and by the end, the spouses are willing to do almost anything to avoid interacting with each other directly. The good news is that, if avoiding direct confrontation with your spouse is your goal, you can usually accomplish it. When spouses have suffered such a communication breakdown that they cannot stand to be around each other, communicating through your lawyers is the best solution. You get to have all the difficult conversations with your own divorce lawyer, and then your lawyer can communicate with your spouse’s lawyer. The process is not quick or pleasant, but it enables you to discuss the things you must discuss to divide your property in divorce.

Once Your Divorce Is Final, Your Ex-Spouse’s Blame Game Can No Longer Hurt You

The good news is that, once your divorce is final, your ex-spouse’s drama and lack of accountability can no longer hurt you. Your ex might say terrible things about you on social media, but you can delete your accounts, and your ex might make ruinous financial decisions, but they will no longer be your problem. The upside of waiting until your children are grown up until you get divorced is that, afterward, you can support them financially and emotionally on your own terms, and you can also interact with your ex-spouse on your own terms, if at all. Your ex-spouse’s drama will never again be part of your daily life, and as a result, you will feel wealthy even with only the modest share of marital property that you kept.
