After 40-years Of Marriage, My Husband Said “You Are Useless. Let Us Get Divorced. “

A New Beginning

Since then, I received a dozen incoming calls and emails from my ex-husband. I ignored all of them. As I had stated, I filed an alimony claim through my lawyer against both the ex and the partner having the affair with him.

My ex-husband was probably planning to leave me as soon as he retired and remarried her. He must have intentionally stressed me at every opportunity to make me want a divorce. However, I don’t believe he ever imagined the affair would be revealed.

My ex-husband was upset, according to my lawyer, because he was charged with alimony. I said I did not want a share of the property because I was also working sometimes and earning money. In fact, my family owns a kimono store and runs a dressing school.

My parents had told me how to dress in the traditional manner since I was a child, and even after I became a housewife, I was a temporary instructor at the dressing school. My ex-husband might have assumed I was simply assisting my parents. In fact, in addition to my work as a kimono dressing instructor, I was asked to dress for some events such as weddings, for which I was paid well.

When I had children, I used the money for school fees and supplies, but after I finished raising them, I started to save it for my retirement. I saved money little by little, and it became large.

To be honest, my ex-husband did not get promoted in the company at all. He mentioned 250,000 US dollars, but I don’t believe he received that much saved from retirement. I believe he did less than my savings. If he were alone, he could live in retirement, but if he were to get remarried, it would be difficult. Furthermore, it’s more likely that alimony will be paid from the retirement, which should make things even more difficult.

My children later told me about my ex-husband. It seems his partner told him this:

“I thought I could live off your retirement funds, but that wasn’t the case. You said you didn’t have to pay the alimony.”

After all, she did it for his money. The ex-husband is a truly miserable man.

The ex-husband, who is now single and alone, invited his children to live with him, but they declined. Who will take care of a man who betrayed his family? As a result, my ex-husband became completely lonely.

About me, I’m living a simple life in my new home, enjoying my hobbies and traveling. I’ve been busy preparing for my new job as a kimono dressing instructor. I see my daughter and son’s families on a regular basis, going out to lunch and occasionally traveling with them.

I am grateful that even though I live alone, I don’t have time to feel lonely, and I want to continue to treasure each and every day of my life.
