A friend of mine had a custody battle that went on for 3 or 4 years over his daughter. He never married her mother but they lived together for about a year. He went through 4 lawyers to get custody settled and spent a lot of money on the lawyers.

Yesterday he sends me wedding photos where he married the woman he battled for years for custody. I thought he recently had a different GF but maybe that was last year.

Once again proving love and hate are two sides of the same coin. Why anyone ever minted such a coin is beyond me, and the damn thing is worthless in any vending machine, but I guess you could use it on a scratch ticket and if you’re lucky end up with something else to love or hate each other for.

Dayum. Some folks just prefer the devil they know.

Are either of these people sane in handling the other areas of their respective lives?

on the bright side for him no more child support payments that he argued about for 4 years. One of the 4 lawyers he used I also used for my divorce and another friend just used her for his divorce.

Also when he first went out with her she was married . And she has another divorce since then. He’s sane but I don’t know about her. She’s a nurse in a hospital so I sure hope she’s sane. She grew up in Poland.
