He divorced her and gave her triple the alimony and double the child support as well as a new car every year (he owned 32 dealerships at the time) and paid for her 2nd marriage and still pays her the money in alimony even after she remarried. New cars also went to her parents until their deaths. He has now sold all of his dealerships and moved on, but he still send her money every month. They've been divorced for 30 years.
w....o.....w.......... that is an overkill generosity... Hope my sugar mama would do that for me

but yea... these days... people are such a douchebag and petty when it comes to break-up. ALL of my relationships ended very amicably and we continue to stay in touch. Every time I hear about what the ex did to others... the more it makes me feel like I want to be Teddy Kaczynski (minus his terrorist activity) - just live in a quiet quaint cabin in middle of nowhere, away from the society.

what? why??

I agree with you here. I guess the former cop dislikes having someone break free from his tight grip, hence the childish games. He is seven years older than me (30 years old), you'd think he would be a little more mature?

Ah, too bad my ex doesn't feel guilt... or anything at all, I'd be well off. Fortunately, my gamble to request ZERO alimony and child support paid off. I have a comfortable salary AND my divorce will be finalized in the summer smooth break! I just need to ignore the t-shirts and accidentally shrink them during laundry day?

Wrong. My ex has been dropping off my son in the morning before he heads for work and oh guess what, my son wears a "My Daddy is Number one" type of shirt every single time. What the heck? I pretend not to notice but how childish is that, the game is painfully obvious and I secretly scoff when I take off my son's coat.

I have just one shirt that is mommy inspired (which I bought of course) but I can't imagine making my son wear "My mom rules!" when I drop him off at the "in-laws". Where's the common sense in that

Blah.. need to take a chill pill, if this is the climax of my divorce drama then I guess I lucked out right? =)
Don't sweat the small stuff He'll eventually get tired of it.

Humans. I don't know why relationships alway have to end so bitterly to some people. Even I had a relationship like that.

Like Julia mentioned, when it was the woman who wanted the divorce, who know what kind of man your friend's exhusband would turned out to be.

I hope so, like I said... I am fortunate that I only have to put up with the "small stuff" I simply need to grin and bear it. AD is a good outlet for my "vents" though and it seems that I am not alone.

I wrote pretty much all of the write-ups for the yearbook last year. If I didn't write it, I editted it. My advice: be really biased. Make it sound like they're the best.

That's a bummer!! I got an email from the instructor of my class that starts tomorrow night and he says that class is still on and we have a very large class and to be prepared. He also sent me another email that wasn't sent to the others saying he was looking forward to having me in class since I will be his first and only deaf person. Everyone else is a family member of hoh people. He is planning on making videos of each class and making sure I get them, and will send me all of the power point presentations he does and copies of all of his notes as well as the materials for everyone.

How many days a week is your class? I think ASL class is so much fun. I only took it at the college and it goes fast and class every weekday, which really helps to help your mind rehearse. And don't forget all the nights in the mirror rehearsing- it really helps

Class is once a week for 9 weeks. Offered by our local Dear Service Center here in West Palm Beach, FL. They have it at least 2 times a years sometimes 4 times.

Am thinking I had a very trying afternoon after a good morning and an even worse evening. Home life sucks, some people on AD suck and I'm giving it up for the night. Be back tomorrow and hopefully it will be a better day.

I worry about this when we mainstream Miss Kat. I want someone who isn't still learning! Why would I want them to learn on my kid's educational "dime". Forget that!

I understand that completely, my ex is 8yrs older than me. LOL age & maturity DO NOT go hand in hand. And sometimes people in positions of authority can be the hardest to deal with.
