Can somebody tell me how divorcing in residency when you're presumably making $50-60k/year and anywhere from $50-300k ends up costing you a nice chunk? Was it lawyer fees? How much could alimony reasonably be in this scenario where you're financially in the hole and likely don't have too many assets? In divorce wouldn't your debt be split as well if you were liable for alimony at that point? Or was there child support involved?
I'm married and I'm so deeply fearful of my spouse divorcing me. While we have an awesome relationship, residency hasn't started yet, and who knows how we'll handle it when I'm away for such long and odd hours. With all the stories I hear of divorce in real life and on these boards, I can't help but think it's an inevitability...
If you have an awesome relationship then why are you so worried about divorce?
