Wife (26F) scheduled cosmetic procedures we agreed we wouldn’t do before marriage, using money from our joint account. I’m (28M) struggling with the trust breach.

I’m thinking of divorcing—where to start?

Thanks all, I should add— I stay at home with the kids, but I do have some income. I stopped working FT after the kids but I still freelance in my field and bring in essentially the “fun money” for th…
