This tea kettle and coffee grinder are more than just functional items. They are one of the first purchases I made after separating from my soon-to-be ex-wife. These are items I never would have purchased while I was married to avoid conflict.
Now? Everything is a conflict and it all goes through lawyers. Purchases like this, though? Not so much.
@matigo don’t put it past Reiko to turn your child against you. My soon-to-be ex has been basically doing that for years with my kids.

@matigo probably better to have a higher limit, at least in terms of your credit score. That assumes you pay it off every month, though. 😬
@matigo For all the anxiety I have around the financial realities imposed by the courts in my divorce, it's an order of magnitude less stress than I was enduring living with her.
@matigo that and the kids. Whatever positive feelings we had for each other died a LONG time ago.

@sumudu this is all about money at this point. Which, if I get right down to it, was probably the only reason she stayed married to me for as long as I did.
I find it interesting what the soon-to-be ex communicates with me directly versus what she chooses to communicate through her lawyer. And I suspect her lawyer is either not relaying the information or is advising the respondent not to…respond.
Either way, I suspect our next court hearing will be interesting. And will require me to give her even more money I don't have.
@variablepulserate the wife (who isn’t a citizen) is most definitely a refugee. Since they are married, he’s being treated similarly.
It’s an odd situation no question.
