I assume youre joking but just in case. Ive been married 24 years, and each year keeps getting better. Outside of having a relationship with Jesus Christ, it doesnt get better than having a long healthy marriageMan that just takes all the fun out of it.
Kinda like bridezilla but divorcezilla?Have seen the nicest ladies/wives become absolute terrors during a divorce. You may get lucky and have a wife who will agree to be civil and handle the divorce the easy way but never assume your incredible current wife is that woman.
Simply cut her head off and acquire a new one. WTF has happened to this country?
If your friend gets a lawyer, I would suggest he get a female lawyer. Women are the more viscious of our species, and she will know how low his Ex can & will go.
Maybe not.Per my understanding, this is the worst advice ever on the Cats Pause. You STAY in YOUR house until the divorce is finalized.
Well my friend is in a better mood today b/c she is considering buying him out of the house so he gets half the equity and can find his own place to live.
Yup the stories I’ve heard are wildJust be careful what you say or text forit can be held against you. If you have kids it is a battle that never ends until they are 18. This much I know.
This is different than moving out. Leaving when the wife is drunk and crazy for a bit is what this is. What you don't want to do is go establish residence somewhere out because you'll lose a ton of leverage.Maybe not.
Had a buddy going thru a divorce in their house sitting in his living room watching TV, wife gets home couple hours late from work and a little drunk. She goes straight upstairs.
Comes down about 30 minutes later and says, I'm taking over the living room, get the **** out of here. He replies are you out of your mind to talk to me like that? I am not leaving this room.
She says, I will call the cops if you don't leave. He says call whoever you want.
20 minutes later there are 3 lex police cars with lights on in front of his house and 5-6 cops. They said they got a report of domestic abuse and have to check on things. They told him everything looks good, and he could stay in his house as long as he wanted.
He got some stuff and came to my house. Realized she could have punched herself in the face and he would have gone to jail that night.
YES, ALL SOON TO BE EX WIVES ARE CRAZY!!!!! DON"T EXPECT ANYTHING TO BE REASONABLE.
Kinda off topic and a very unpopular opinion:
Divorce problems all arise from one thing - marriage. Marriage isn’t the institution it once was, at least partly worsened by no fault divorce. There is NO intellectual reason for contractual marriage these days, esp for men. Approximately 75% of all marriages end in divorce (according to the stats the last time I checked … which has been awhile).
So at best u have a 25% shot at a relationship that does not end in divorce. And that does not mean 25% chance of a happy marriage. Huge difference in not divorcing & happily married. I’ll be conservative and give it 20%. 20% chance your relationship survives happily. Imo, that’s a suckers wager.
Sorry to those that disagree

As stated: I admitted that my stats could be off because I’ve not researched the data in quite some time. I’ve no reason to believe your data is incorrect so I’ll just assume it is accurate. If so, those stats are an improvement imo.
Sounds about right - trying to be like your friends isn’t the wisest decisionYa the divorce rate has been steadily declining since 2000 - and the number of marriages has actually decreased. So sounds like people are being more careful and not rushing into it as much. In the article I read something was really interesting. It said if married couples have lots of divorced friends then the divorce rate increases by 75% - meaning that divorce is very much a social thing as well. Thought that was interesting. The more someone gets married the higher the divorce rate as well. 60% of 2nd marriages and 70% of 3rd marriages end in divorce.
You are required to have a separate residence in some states to be separated for a certain period of time before allowed to divorce.This is different than moving out. Leaving when the wife is drunk and crazy for a bit is what this is. What you don't want to do is go establish residence somewhere out because you'll lose a ton of leverage.
If you do not move out, there is the chance you have to deal with this every day. If you don't give a crap about the house, move out. Or make her an offer she cant refuse to move out.This is different than moving out. Leaving when the wife is drunk and crazy for a bit is what this is. What you don't want to do is go establish residence somewhere out because you'll lose a ton of leverage.
Likewise, marriage is the #1 reason to not divorce.Divorce, #1 reason not to get married
I can accomplish that for a lot cheaper and with less hassle by having friends and other family members.But with marriage you automatically have someone to split your Netflix bill with. That’s got to be a positive in your eyes.
Did you guys ever fight? Did it make you sick and unattracted to her when you did?I've been married 60 years come October. It has never once crossed my mind to divorce my wife.
Well my friend is in a better mood today b/c she is considering buying him out of the house so he gets half the equity and can find his own place to live.
I am on my second marriage (23 years now) after 10 years of being single and divorced from 1st wife. I was in the military on Drill Sergeant status when my first wife decided she had enough of the military life 10 years in . She was seeing 4 different men at the time so, there was no reconciling from that. The only positive was than it took 4 men to replace me. My only advice is to get a good lawyer as the odds in most states are still in favor of the woman.
Infidelity for me is about the worst thing in a marriage. Even though I love my second wife very much, if she cheated, I would kick her to the curb in a heartbeat. My pride and mental state of mind would require it.
