For all you guys out there potentially facing divorce, this is what it feels like afterwards.
I’m just waiting on the soon to be ex to return the signed paperwork to my attorney so it can be filed. 90 days later and I will be single again.
My ex called me up a few weeks ago to bitch a complain something that he was trying to drag me into with wife #4 (that he is now getting divorced from).
My response to him: “That’s the beauty of divorce. I just don’t give a fuck.”
Congratulations to you both!
Wow. It took me a few minutes to get it. I was waiting for scenes of a nuclear explosion, death, destruction, all-around misery. You guys must be the ones who WANTED the divorces.
I laughed and laughed. Congrats to you.
Yo ho ho, it’s the single life for me! 
I felt that way when I finally got him out of the house. Single life ain’t exactly glamorous (which was expected), but I’ll take the troubles I have now compared to the ones he was constantly creating.
OP, Almost. If we could get Al on crutches and with a few nasty but non-lethal wounds it’d be spot-on.
As I see it, divorce is like having a root canal. Nobody wants one until they need one. And the pain of the fix is totally worth it.
I really hope that my soon-to-be-ex-husband isn’t feeling that way. If I have to feel like crap, he should be feeling like crap for doing it.
I knew two guys who had been divorced three times before age 35.
That shit would have **killed **me.
agreed. I can’t imagine wanting to do it again unless I needed to make sure someone knew to pull the plug, and there’s easier paperwork to fill out for that one. What possessed them?
There were times when fighting my wife would say something to the effect that I’d never be able to get a better wife than her. No matter how angry I was, that always deflated it and made me chuckle, “Another woman? Are you kidding? You’re my last wife.”
She only said it a few times.
I know exactly how you feel.
I recently dated a guy who had been divorced ***four ***times by age 40!
:eek: I hope you didn’t date him more than once. :eek:
My parents divorce was prolly the single biggest influence on me growing up. It was awful to find out they were splitting up, awful to find out that my father didn’t care much for me and/or my sister, and devastating to find out that so much of what my parents told me for the first 10 years of my life was lies.
But I did learn one thing that has helped me in my own life: Yer better off alone than being miserable with some asshole.
Grats to you on your new life!
I like to think my kids didn’t take this message away from my divorce. That the kids weren’t the problem was about the only thing their mom and I ever agreed on consistently.
But this. This I hope they understand.
I thought you were going to show the video of THIS.
Which is of course a parody of THIS (david after the dentist). Watch this first if you haven’t seen it.
:smack: Yeah, I did. In my defense, I only knew about his most recent divorce. He conveniently didn’t tell me about the first three until we’d been together for about 6 months. I was pretty freaked out, but was somewhat emotionally invested by that time. We’re not together anymore, and when it was over, there was this little voice in my head that kept saying, “No wonder four wives dumped him!”
I should add that at no time was I considering marrying him.
A friend of mine from high school is in the process of her second divorce. She just turned 29.
Meanwhile, I haven’t been married. I just don’t see the point. I don’t know anyone in my age group who has been married, and is still married to the first person.
Wow.
Well, I’m in my forties and still married to to the first person I married. In my circle of friends, only one is divorced (a couple are in second marriages after being widowed).
I guess it’s who you know.
Same. I’m in my forties, still happily married to my wife; in my immediate friends and family, only one has been divorced.
