How to end a marriage when finances are intertwined?

If you need your freedom and happiness money means absolutely nothing. I just left a 20 year relationship completely entangled financially I’ve never been happier and no I’m not broke.

If no prenup speak to a Lawyer about a seperation agreement and have it detailed there who is responsible for paying xyz

@SW-User Luckily we don't own our home, but he's kind of a loser financially and I worry about him being able to keep his head above the water.

@someonetorelateto If you're ending the marriage I would expect that to be the least of your worries as its likely to get nasty in the short term.
Sit down and figure out a fair settlement. If you can't, get a lawyer or a mediator. Problem is in divorce people will not be fair. I would have been. He stole everything.

Tough ... More than the financial intertwining it's the mental/emotional intertwining which is tougher ... 🤔

@AmorFati I think he'd end up being okay emotionally in the long run. But we pay rent and utilities together, and I want to leave. We've built something of a life together, no kids (thank goodness), but we do have pets and other obligations together.

@someonetorelateto ah ok .. I get it ... Only way is talking and finding out a way which both take some hit ... That way heart burns are less... People are less interested in how much they have lost as compared to how much is the financial loss of the other person... So if it's balanced then less of a heartache...

Since you don't have kids it should be easy. Take your name off of everything and just go, tell him of course. ⭐

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Can't much be avoided I suppose.
