Years ago, my mom's secretary found out that her husband was having a fling. When she confronted him, he told her that he was done with their 20+yr. marriage, the kids were grown, and that he was moving on. He moved out. The next day, mom's secretary phoned an aggressive, thorough attorney who spent the next 3 months locking this guy out of every stinkin' asset he had. By the time they went to court, this philandering husband found out that he was going to lose his entire pension, most of their assets (including the home), and a huge chunk of his weekly paycheck to his (soon to be ex-) wife. At the very last minute (literally), he changed his mind and begged his wife to take him back. He decided it wasn't worth losing every dollar, and every asset they'd acquired over the years. She took him back on one condition: the other woman had to go. He agreed.
To make sure that this relationship was done (because the other woman had bought a house 1/2 mile up the road from them), mom's secretary sold their house, quit her job, made him quit his job, bought an RV, and she told him that they were now going to travel. That was almost 15 years ago, and they're still on the road most of the year. They stop traveling during the winter months and settle in South Dakota (cheaper taxes & CoL) until late spring...then they hit the roads. - CarlyM 1.29.14
