Congratulations on your divorce. Mine was the worse experience of my life, but a year later, I've realized it was the best thing I could have done.

Re: it\'s official

have always believed that the fee for a marriage license should be $3000 and a years waiting period and the divorce should cost $15 and a three day waiting period. There would be a lot less of both if that were the case....

That has been my thoughts for many years on the subject as well /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: it\'s official

I've been divorced for 10 yrs now,but like the others I'm not good at being alone,but I found a real good one,if I want something she will do what she can to make sure I get it ,and I do the same for her,Now my ex. was all about herself,she walked out on me and our 2 boys,thought she was going to have this great life as a single,in the past 10 yrs she has lived in about 10 different places can't hold a job or she don't want to hold a job she is over $5000.00 behind in support,don't help with anything that has to do with the boys,and the courts never do anything to make her pay,but it's all good because the wife I have now,we worked together to get where we are and what we have,I think my ex-inlaws finally figured out that I wasn't the problem itwas there little girl,she's like 37 and they always have to bail her out of financial situations cause she won't hold down a job.
sorry guys I could go on and on .

Re: it\'s official

Wow!! How much has changed in a year. Junkman this is a quote from your post less than a year ago!

"I have only been married once. My wife has been married twice. I only intend to be married once. Once is enough. I don't intend to get divorced and neither does she. I said that is what I would say if she had said that to me. She knows enough not to say that to me and there is no reason that she would say that to me. We have a good time joking with each other and we both know that if we ever stop joking and poking fun at each other that the sparks of life are over for both of us. We have been together for almost 30 years and every day is a new adventure. We both would not have it any other way. Junkman"

It is when you had a good attorney prepare a Pre Nup agreement before you made the final vows.

We have been together for almost 30 years 

Junkman you must have been a very forward thinker for your time, pre nups have only been trendy for what, about 15 years

If that is true for junk then he got lucky:

my big D was 15 yrs back and in kansas and well I walked away with all the bills and my car, she walked away with every thing else while I paid for every thing including her attorny and a years worth of allomoney or is that "all-my-money" ? anyhow she wrote a bunch of bad checks AFTER the diviorce and I still had to pay for those and all the check fees toboot! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif I was still a bit luckier than the guy who was up ahead of me, he was say 65 or so retired, living on SSI with working on his 2nd diviorce he owed 1st wife ~750 per month of his retirement and new wife was getting ~700 per month his SSI income was only 1200.00 ! he was back filing to get them lowered as he had no way to live or even enough to PAY the court ordered $... pore ******* was tossed into jail right after the judge slammed the gavel for not paying the last 2 months of ordered allomony /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif I was just luckly enough to be the next victom in line to that judge the #(&$^% hole that he was... oh btw I arrived home form x-mas vacation to find my house cleaned out like it was robbed when she left me... nothing buyt trash litterly every thing in the house was dixtroyed and tossed onto the floor that she couldn't take or didn't want... even the cops were on my side but the judge didn't seem to care... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
I can honestly say less than 15 months later I was out of the hole and saving $. she was re-married and having a kid she then took a knife to the furnature I had bought destroying it called the cops and had the new "victome" err I mean husband arrested for DV . Ive been with a woman for 10yrs now, when I started dating her I said I always said I'd try anything once if I liked it I would try it againe, and she missed out as I was already hitched ONCE and didnt like it... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I don't think I go 2 weeks with out hearing a ittle something about rings and some sort of official paperwork. I just smile and say, "yes right after I have the plug pulled on me for being brain dead." (ya bad joke cosidering what is happening in FLA now but I would rather not be here than be in a vegitive state and you can quote me on that as I belive doctors are prolonging life that should have ended when IT happened...") so anyhow just my 2cents worth.

Re: it\'s official

I'm with Henro and his wife-- I stand by MrsAndyM. Neither my wife nor I are close to being perfect, and each day of our marriage requires a lot of work to keep it going, but we are commited to being married until one of us passes on.

This is directed at no one here in particular:

I can't believe how many posters are congratulating someone on a failed marriage! Is this what we've come to?

If we aren't going to take the institution of marriage seriously and give up every time something doesn't go the right way, we might as well abolish marriage completely from human society. It takes work, each and every day from husband AND wife. If BOTH sides aren't going to make a commitment for that kind of daily maintenance of their marriage, then they probably shouldn't stand in front of family and friends and make that promise in the first place.

There! I've said my peace. Remember, this is not directed at anyone in particular, as many people have posted in this thread. If the moderators don't like my statement, then they can delete my post. Happy Tractoring!

Andy I hear what you are saying, I was raised a Catholic and it was drilled into our heads until death do us part since I was a kid.

Well my first marriage lasted 20 years. The first ten were wonderful and the next ten completely canceled the 1st ten out like they hadn't even existed. We had 2 wonderful children who are now grown.

She got it all. The house the new Cadillac and I was paying all her bills and mine too. Alimony & child support went on for 7-1/2 years, did I say it got old, or was it me? I was just thankful to get out with my sanity, I knew I could and would start over. No one can take your knowledge from you. (although she tried)

Divorce was one of the toughest things that I have ever done in my life, no joking. I got through it with a lot of prayer and moved forward. I am now re-married and hoping that I learned enough to make this marriage last forever.

I am blessed with a good, understanding woman by my side. Honey did I tell you that we need a cab for our tractor? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I am not a bitter person. I wish my ex-wife a good life. She did re-marry just last year and I also hope they are both happy, I know both Rose (my wife) and I are.

I tried Andy, honest I did. Unfortunately things don't always end up like we plan them to.
