The other party can walk away with half of your property, including unvested RSUs(!!!), and it doesn&amp;#x27;t matter if they cheated or failed to contribute to the marriage.  If you think you&amp;#x27;re being nice by trying to make the marriage work and tolerating it, you may be just setting yourself up for even more pain down the road.</text></comment>
