First, I wanted to thank all of you for posting here. I've been reading for hours on end and there's so much great information on here.
We have a great lawyer and will be filing a no asset Ch 7. Never in our wildest dreams did I think we'd end up here, but the economy and a host of other things put us on this path. I'm dealing with it ok, my husband is an extremely private person so having to put our entire financial life out in the open is horrifying to him. He won't even talk to our family about this, and out of respect for him I'm not talking to anyone either. The thought of our names possibly being published in the local paper just about puts him in a tailspin. I thought the toughest thing was the decision to make the phone call to talk to an attorney about our options, but as we go further into this, it's getting tougher. I don't see any options for us but to continue what we're doing and file.
One thing I haven't seen alot of here (I'm probably just not looking in the right place), are stories about what happens when it's all over. Looking back, are you glad you filed? Were the ramifications as far-reaching as you thought they'd be? Is your life better now? Worse? What would you do differently?
Thanks for sharing your stories.
