Hey, Dr. Deloney. I'm just wondering, how soon is too soon to start dating after a divorce?
Ooh, good question.
Tell me about your world, man. Well, about... Oh, about a year and a half ago, my wife went to live with her folks to take care of her mom. And then about half a year ago, she decided she wanted a divorce. And there was some stuff on my end, some pornography addiction and some other things that I worked on and tried to save the marriage, but in the end, she went ahead with a divorce.
What were the other things on your end? I hesitate to say financially abusive, but whenever we would get a tax refund, The first year that we were married, the first two years we were married, she spent the tax refunds before I had a chance to have any input. And then ever since then, I would spend them without taking any input from her.
And I would justify that because, oh, well, she spent those two tax refunds. So now these other 12 I've spent. How did you share finances? We did full, you know, just all in on keeping everything together.
Where else did you say, this is mine and this is yours? You did that with your fantasy life and you did that with tax refund checks. Where else did you do that?
