I know it's wrong, but considering that I had received compromising photos of my wife with another man (a part-time, Walmart-style security guard), I went on her laptop today after she left for work at her law office. She normally brings it with her.The password was easy, Esquire666, which she has been using since law school, and there really wasn't much on there, just a bunch of hastily written legal drafts. But one caught my eye, simply titled "divorce agreement." She doesn’t do family law.It's written in my wife's usual sloppy style with her typical misspellings (using "their" instead of "there," for example), but in essence it gives me the children from 8 a.m. on Monday to 6 p.m. on Friday, except for holidays and during my wife's vacation time. It allows us each to keep our own incomes (she earned 0k last year; me k). She gets the house (0k) and I get the studio with loft next door (0k). It claims no fault for the divorce and does not provide for an au pair.Essentially, this agreement turns ME into the au pair. My wife works pretty much 12 hours a day Monday through Thursday, and barely sees the kids during that time anyway, and her work week ends on Friday at about 6 p.m. She gets about a month’s worth of vacation time a year, so she would get the kids during that time along with weekends and holidays, while I do all the schlepping of the kids to school and helping with homework, etc. Our savings would be split 75/25 in her favor.Who knows? This could just be a wild fantasy of my wife’s, and when she’s home we’re still intimate, though her wants in the bedroom have become stranger. On weekends, she’s quite normal acting. But I guess I need to be prepared should she slap this on me some time, and I’d hate to have a long and protracted divorce. I haven’t decided if I’m happy or not in my marriage, but I guess I need to decide soon.Does her plan sound reasonable?I normally make a good amount more than k. Last year was a bad year, but I have ventured into six figures in the past. We're in Florida. Don't forget, she's a lawyer and knows ever judge in these parts. Except for the 75/25 savings, it doesn't sound like a horrible deal, though I would miss the family vacations.
