I filed 3 months ago, separated finances, moved out, I still pay all the bills.
During the marriage I rarely ever bought anything. I always assumed we were living paycheck to paycheck because that's what the balances showed. I wasn't the one in charge of finances. Now I notice, I have 4 times the expendable income that I had for the last 2 years.
And oh do I spend! I shop at work, daily online purchases, mostly aftermarket car parts, clothing, gadgets, power tools, and recreational stuff. I keep thinking "I need this," I have no remorse because my bank account keeps growing.
But, I do feel bad, because I could be spending it on my mothers house, or filling her fridge for housing me. She doesn't ask for much because like me she assumed I was strapped, and still assumes the same.
She yells at me for buying all this stuff, I offer her stuff too, new dishwasher, replace her floors, because I know those are things she's saving for.
Idk, I think this could be the beginning of a bad habit, or is this normal when going though a divorce?
I've also been dating a girl (once a week), neither of us are looking for a relationship, but we fool around constantly.
I don't miss my marriage one bit.
I'm happy, my son is very happy, were getting the house back in less than 2 months, and he has not had an accident since mid April...
