Legally, we must defend ourselves. We can choose to walk away, but in the midsts of an assumed loving marriage, we build debt. If we walk away, we still assume half of the debt while still losing the matrimonial home.
If we choose to fight, we pay WAY over the top to have a lawyer protect us... in the end, we wind up with nothing.
I am speaking of a situation that involves someone in my family. She has been emotionally torn upside down and stripped of excellent credit record, living in an apartment with little furniture while her spouse lives comfortably in their matrimonial home WITH the other woman.
The person of whom I speak is an emotional wreck. The laws in Ontario Canada do not protect a spouse from an affair.
They have no children and were married for 8 years.
Why can't people leave a marriage before exercising their right to love another?
I also wonder how the other woman is living with herself believing such a man who has done nothing but lie to her.
