A good way to ruin a few days - have your soon to be ex tell you in passing that they are going to ask for alimony even though they have a rather large savings account, got about 70% of the proceeds from selling the house, and have been getting about 50% of my paycheck so far for support.
The idea that now she wants a formal alimony for 5-7 more years because she doesn't want to take a non-ideal job or have to touch her savings is infuriating.

@karyl No kids, so that makes it much easier.
We were trying to work through everything without having to get lawyers involved since that gets super expensive, but if we can't come to an agreement then that looks like it will be the only option :/
