I do come from a broken home. One that merged partially with *another* broken home. So I know all too well how vindictive and petty people can be when shit like this happens.

It's good that there are no kids; in my experience, they are almost always used as pawns to twist the knife.

there are people here who have been through it. It's remarkable how it normally takes the same course -- nm - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:19 13
- And it's really sad how many women seem to be so adept at twisting the system to totally fuck over their ex-husbands. - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:25 12
  - That was not my experience. It depends on the people involved. -- nm - pmb Sep 10, 15:52
  - yeah, not really a cool generalization. for one, the women often end up getting the kids and need the financial support - kare Sep 10, 13:02 5
    - Indeed. My mom got the kids, my dad ended up paying some child support, and that situation went rather well. - Beryllium Sep 10, 13:23 4
      - sorry you had to go through that. :( -- nm - kare Sep 10, 13:30 1
        
        thanks ... the generalization that kicked all this off is just a dramatization of it, really ... - Beryllium Sep 10, 13:59
      - (And the bias I drew from it, used in the generalization above, is because the exes were doing the wringing and torturing) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 13:24 1
        
        ... and he made it through all that, only to then die of cancer. So ... yeah. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 13:25
  - I've seen it go both ways. People can be so mean to the very people they vowed to love their entire life - Epiphany Sep 10, 11:28
  - thank god for prenups. -- nm - Remlik Sep 10, 11:27 3
    - i believe in prenups, i've decided. -- nm - kare Sep 10, 13:02
    - no prenup here -- nm - tRuMan Sep 10, 11:27 1
      - well protect yourself as best you can. -- nm - Remlik Sep 10, 11:38
