Divorce

[tathepilot]

I try to focus on an analogy:

One day, I'm sitting there with my wife's and my future laid out on a dry-erase board. I'm sitting there, reading and studying this plan and doing the best to hold up my end, doing what I think is right.

Then, all of the sudden. Things change. Something changes. It's as if a big eraser comes by and wipes clean my future...the dry erase board that once held our future is CLEAN. It's empty. Gone. A clean slate.

Then somebody (God ?) walks over to me and puts a marker in my hand and says: Here's a marker....that board is blank. Write your own future. It's up to you.

There world is yours !! Live strong.

Well said!! My D was a blessing in disguise... I could not be happier with my life right now!!!

Unless she is married to Rez....then NO WORK for her. LOL

Seriously, if a man wants his wife to stay home and not work for 15 years and then divorces her, he better expect to pay a lot in alimony because she is no longer marketable in the workforce. My neighbor is paying his ex $3500 a month in alimony and their kids are GROWN (and he's paying it for life unless she were to remarry or moves in with someone.). The reason: she has an illness, not so serious either, and during their 20 year marriage she didn't work, therefore so she has no skills to sustain her lifestyle.

Child support and alimony are quite different.

That is f***ed up.

Well, first off, if your husband wants you to stay home, it's your decision too. If you CHOOSE to stay at home, and later get divorced and are no longer marketable in the workforce, you need to get your a$$ marketable. Start by getting a job. Alimony for life? That is f***ed up beyond all belief.

That whole "sustain your lifestyle" $hit is a bunch of crap too. If you get divorced and can't sustain your "lifestyle"....guess what? You need to readjust your lifestyle. Too bad so sad....it's called life. Someone shouldn't have to carry you through the rest of your life after a divorce.

Jesus! Sounds like this poor bastard would be better off with a bullet. I'll leave you to decide where he should put it.

How can anyone sustain that for life? At least mine goes away in time for me to earn for a couple of years without paying for pu$$y I'm no longer getting.

I was thinking the same thing.

At that point you are better off quitting your job and suing her for alimony.
Of course, I'm sure if the money weren't there, she would find another "husband" real quick.

I totally agree.....the courts do not agree with us. Long term marriage were a wife hasn't worked..ALIMONY! (about the 'choosing' to stay home...some men actually DEMAND their wives stay home with the kids, those guys DESERVE to pay alimony for life)

I see what you are saying and I kind of want to agree BUT it's 2007, not 1907. If you are with a guy that "demands" anything like that and you stay with him and just do as you are told by your man, you have a few screws loose yourself.....know what I mean?

Yes, she does.....and she is enjoying every minute of never working.

That's the true sign of an unmotivated and ambitionless individual. I don't care for people like that, sorry.

 

[FlyUnited]

I don't really know her (just have heard such lovely comments about her from her ex........NOT) so can't really say one way or the other. The kids are good kids, so she did that right and she's always pleasant. I wish them both luck.

 

[capt. megadeth]

The kids are good kids, so she did that right .

Well, that's good.
