i knew what i was in for when i asked. but being a woman i had too.

No, Barb, you have it wrong. We were talking about every other woman in the world EXCEPT you. They broke the mold after you.

Don

Yep!

you guys

I had the best revenge. You know what they say about what goes around ,comes around. Or that karma thing. Well my ex took me for about 20K . The she got remarried to a low life with no job and then after 3 years they got divorced and since she had everything and he had nothing , he took her for over 45K and now she is in bankruptcy.
I inherited some money and paid off my house, cars and have literllay no bills other then monthly stuff. Livin large now.

It is sad how two people who love and care for one another, can turn to being nasty and vindictive, not to mention greedy and self entitled. I know a few people who have divorced peacefully, fewer still who are still on friendly terms, but what is really irksome, is when lawyers get involved and suddenly it's the "Take them to the cleaners and make them miserable" approach. One of my coworkers was married to a very controlling and abusive lawyer. He is doing his best to make her life a living hell. Since he is a lawyer, he relishes taking her to court every month, trying to bleed her finances for counsel fees. My favorite thing is his getting the kids, every three days for three days, even when he is out of town, and the nanny is the only one there to take care of them. The guy just is brutal. Then he indulges the kids with expensive toys and no limits to make the mom look bad.
I guess the point here is it is usually not just one person(either male or female) being the bad guy in the marriage. It just kills me when people use their kids as weapons to inflict pain on their former spouse. On the flip side of my coworker, my brother's ex, waited until she qualified for half his pension, before filing for a divorce, on the day the divorce went thru, she announced her engagement to the next guy, who lucky for him realized the gold digger he was about to marry and called it off. I should also mention she told him she wanted a divorce, a month after their buying their new expensive dream home, and a few days after he was told he was being deployed to Iraq for 6 months. Real nice gal that one!

whats her address. i will fix my car and kick her ass for you.

Thanks Barb, I'm afraid you'd have to wait in line. I think gravity and age will get her in the end. For her it's all about how pretty she is, and how many guys she can seduce. Three affairs while married to my brother(that we know of), one going on for over a year with her boss the plastic surgeon, one with her fitness trainer prior to the divorce, and one to a guy she picked up in a bar. My favorite part is she would get her sister to babysit her daughter(my niece) while she was doing the fitness trainer, on the nights my brother worked on call at the hospital. No in the end, age will take her down more than any person could! I feel sorry for my niece more than anyone in this case, as my brother let this stuff happen and still stuck with her.

the kids always get in worse in a nasty divorce. age will catch up with her. it gets everyone sooner or later.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaat !!!!!!!! Me?????????????? Just telling a pretty lady the truth, that's all.

As far as divorce goes, I guess all of us have horror stories we can swap, and there is no question a lot of emotions get in the way (on both sides) of rational/ mutually beneficial decisions being made. I look back on when I was going through it, 13 years ago, and am a little ashamed of the vindictive person I was at that point in time.........ok, I am a LOT ashamed. But divorce ranks right up there with the death of a loved one on the stress meter, they say, and I believe it. It will turn you into something you never wanted to be.

I can relate to the guy in Bob's original post.........he's PO'd to the enth degree, sees his whole life being turned upside down, forced to sell off things he worked so hard to acquire, and is probably going to be leaving a comfortable home to live like a college student once again. Nobody asks for that, especially after you get a little age under your belt, so you strike back and say things like that to as broad of an audience as you can find.

Any of us who have been there probably understand.
