My Ex-Wife Tried to Sue Me for Half the House, but She Had No Idea I Had Already Planned Everything in Advance
My relationship with my ex ended in a courtroom. I wont point fingers at who was to blame; lets be honest, both sides are at fault in a marriage.
The undeniable fact is that my second wife ended up having an affair. Her lover was a wealthy businessman who settled in our town years ago and eventually opened a small café. At first, she tried to keep their relationship under wraps, but before long, she stopped hiding altogether.
She came to me one day, bold as brass, and told me she was filing for divorce and wanted to claim half the house. I suppose she expected me to panic or fret, but the house was bought solely with my hard-earned pounds. She had no investment in it, aside from living there for two years. Now she had the cheek to lay claim to what isnt hers.
I stayed calm and didnt try to stop her from going through the courts. I simply waited for her to lose the case and pay the legal fees. Id already had my fill of messy divorces with my first wife. That ordeal dragged on for more than three years because neither of us could find common ground. Every courtroom meeting ended in yet another row.
My first wife eventually managed to wrangle half of what I owned. She found a sharp solicitor. In the end, she left me without the flat Id inherited from my father.
But with my second wife, I handled things far more cleverly. Before marrying her, Id already bought a flat, lovingly renovated it with my own two hands, but registered it in my brothers name. Hes the only person I trust implicitly. By the time the divorce rolled around, it turned out I legally had nothing to lose. After my first disastrous marriage, I made sure no woman could swindle me again.
