Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

postnup after infidelity. I've been dealing with this for about 2 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

This happened to my coworker too.

I ended up hiring an attorney to send the initial letter, which cost about $2-4 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Not gonna lie, I put off calling an attorney for weeks. Wish I hadn't waited.

This is more common than you'd think. Definitely worth pursuing.
