Family Forum / Marriage / Divorce / December 2005

Hi. My oldest son called me this morning and told me he is finally going
to get a dvorce from his wife. She's cheated on him many times and they
fought constantly over this and her drinking and he is fed up with it.
With my divrce my ex wanted nothing just the divorce so I think it ...

This is my maiden post - I posted this in alt.support.marriage a few days
ago but because of a recent turn in events have switched to this group. If
you read my first post there I have copied it below but updated it. I's
appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Hello, fine folks on the NGs!
I wanted to let y'all know I appreciate the well wishes, which I got
second hand from a couple of sources. I finally got sprung from

I decided after our last "disagreement" (me and her) that it was time.
I went down and bought my Dream Cycle a 1984 Yamaha Virago 1000.
I took it to a friend of mine who said he would check it for any
defects I might not have caught when I checked it out, but when I

2006 marks the Year of Saul -- where I get a house, finally, after
being homeless for 3yrs. My pop mailed my xmas gift to my bro -- he

all of them crossed out, that he had no idea what to do with it.

I've posted here several times over the past weeks and had some great
advice - thanks to everyone.
To sum up, my wife of 7 1/2 years has cheated on me over the Christmas
holidays - not once but twice - and it looks as if the marriage is over.

We bought the rings today. We have not set any dates and it will definitely
be a very low key event.
You guys are the first to know.
Merry Christmas

Just wanted to share with you a new group that hopes to allow women to:
network with women (and supportive men) chat share jobs worth applying
for (and not) share useful links (eg safe housing agencies etc) and any
other useful links.

My situation is so weird, almost at the end of the 2yr wait and she
filed no fault, blah blah blah. I'm sure you heard it all. But anyway

verbally agreed to a settlement and now she declined. I am not sure if

I know most of the men in here are virile stud muffins with relentlessly
horny wives/girlfriends/significant others/mothers but this rant is pretty
funny and has a lot of truth in it...
Hey married ladies, answer a question for me - is it really such a chore to

When you have a new SO, and you introduce them to your family, and the
family makes no comments good or bad whatsoever after the SO leaves,
would you ask them what they think, or would you let it go?  My
family's kind of hard to read on stuff like this.  My family's opinions

do you know if you haven't paid they tell you people
have emailed you but don't let you see who has and the
contents of the email (used to be the case that they
didn't let you reply but they let you see it).

do you hate sharkfood?
if yes, why do you hate him?
describe the very worst that you can about the bitter SOB.

In general, when a couple get married, how do they adjust to having come from
very different financial backgrounds?  Any ideas or comments on that?
As the one who brought very little into the marriage, i find myself feeling
strange in that personally i'm basically without income ...

... if you're no longer together?     This is some riddle, I tell you...
You're *supposed* to be happy without (your) S.O. in your life anymore - the
someone special who truly cared for you, the someone special who was really
there for you, the someone special who did things for you ...
