Hi!

So I (33F) am newly divorced and finding myself alone in the financial planning process. I bought my husband's out of our condo and major furniture, appliances, etc., and retain approx 80k in equity in my home.

I make about 140k/year CAD.

Currently, I have:

- 30k RRSP

- 35k emergency fund (liquid)

- ~100k equity in secondary rental property.

- Above mentioned, 80k in primary residence

I have a stable job but my career industry is historically unstable...hence the hefty emerg fund.

How can I best set myself up for retirement/independence considering my current portfolio.

Thanks in advance 🥹

My (F33) husband (M34) (together 11 years, married 6 months) has recently told me he doesn’t want our life anymore and wants to move out and not be together. This came on extremely suddenly after a couple weeks of him being distant and hard to communicate with.

We’ve been doing a short term long distance situation for his work, but the plan was always for him to come back to our jointly owned home. He just accepted a job to come home, but at the same time is saying he doesn’t want the relationship and wants to make his own decisions.

I’ve tried to communicate and work through things together, but he refuses to work with me and just says it's too late. He says he’s hates our life and doesn't want any of the goals we set. He was just doing it because I wanted them. When I ask what it is he wants he says he doesn't know.

He also admitted to meeting someone on his move home at a bar and they had been talking. He said it wasn't serious which seemed like a crazy thing to say considering they had met while he was literally in transit, moving back home. He said nothing physical happened but he did extend his stay in that city by 2 nights.

I feel stuck in limbo and I can not understand what changed so quickly. Has anyone been through something like this? How did you handle it, especially when the other person can’t give a clear answer to what the actual problem is or what they want.
