divorce.
 

in about 90 days i'll be back on the market.

the only person allowed to hit on me is george (who should pm me his fucking phone number right now - and if bluefox is listening, pm me too because well, because PLEASE?).

congratulate me, cosmo.

What about Fartin?

what about fuck you?

holy shit

no no i'm OK! for reals! no leg cutting or excessive drinking and i've even managed to not pick up a cigarette and lose some weight :D

Ok or not, sorry to hear things went sour Karen, what with having a lil' rugrat 'n all. You guys gonna do the joint custody thing or...?

Well at least you got a cute kid out of him. :(

congrats, Kiddo...I think. Are you and the young'un okay?

I'm sorry your relationship didn't work out, Karen...at least you'll be rid of him soon.

shit...I wish my divorce only took 90 days....try three fucking years!!!!!!

so when can we expect the full, sordid disclosure of the entire affair

or have you forgotten why the internet is here in the first place

wow i hate to hear about divorce be strong well my parents are getting a divorce right now also and the tension is killing me just living with them its really something sad

Never get married.

Yeah, this whole divorce thing has burned me on being married.

There are very few to get married, it ruins relationships and lives.

People keep asking when my girlfriend and I are going to get married but neither of us give a shit about doing it

marriage i mean, not sex

yeah, marriage has no place in the animal kingdom

it's a human construct, man

excuse me, "hyooman"

raises hand

For a minute I thought you were the good Dole

Yeah, maybe. My parents divorced after 21 years when I was a college sophomore and my brother was a high school senior. (She went on to marry a total dirtbag loser, which wasn't much of an upgrade, to be sure. She's single again and 72, boys!)

On the flip side, I dated my wife for nearly 6 years before we got married, so we've been together for over half our lives. So there's an argument for both sides. Don't dismiss marriage just based on others' experiences - you may surprise yourself.

Good luck Glowbelly, to you and yours.

its me. Meaner, older and more infirm than ever. And also getting divorced :)

you should prove it with an emoticon

:posh

IDENTITY CONFRIMED :eek

i'm sorry i doubted you

Its been reassuring to know that despite what GB is experiencing, she continues to be one of the sanest people I ever met. NUFF RESPEC'

It's a very common thing for society to blame "marriage" as the cause of relationships going bad. Fact is, many relationships that last a long time go sour after a while, and the only thing at fault there is the people. If you've been in a relationship with somebody for 5 years or so, you're pretty much married whether you've got a ring on yer finger or not. Marriage just makes the breaking up harder to do in some cases (Cosmo's for example. A good friend of mine is also in the middle of a nasty divorce that's been going on for more than 3 years and there's still no end in sight and there are two kids involved :() Anyway, my point is that people break up all the time, married or not... that's just the way shit goes.

And holy shit... DOLE! :eek (why the new account though? need me to reset your PW on your old one?)

I think the two worst types of marriages are those of convenience and those in which you settle for less. Both of which happened to my mum, and we're still trying to find the second dirtbag since he skipped town.

Glowbelly single AND Dole single at the same time? I think I just had an orgasm.

Yep, sure did. :(

I love you both, oodles and oodles.

I was with my lady 6 years before we married. I'm going off of my own personal experience.

In all seriousness, should they come out with a marriage lease instead of a license. There would be no need for pre-nups and I think a lot less hassle in the court system.

What part of "til death do us part" do you not understand, motherfucker?

maybe she killed him.

or maybe this was his plea bargain :eek

If daytime television crime drama has taught me anything it's that you don't need to divorce someone after you've killed them.

single? PM sent

that sucks

Perhaps a marriage license should expire after a few years. If you still want to be married, just renew it.

That's exactly what I mean. I'm statistically screwed when I get married, so I'm pushing for a lease.

"Till death do us part or five years from today. Whichever may come first."

I disagree. I think it should be no take backs & anyone that doubts they can commit their entire life to someone else doesn't get married. If you marry in a church you often have to jump through hoops to get there, such as convincing the priest, taking marriage lessons etc. More hoops, & more slaps upside their heads saying 'this shit is serious, fool' and maybe people will be more willing to admit they're too selfish to share their life with someone else.

Just don't get married and there is no problem.

Things aren't always that clear when it starts out though, even if a couple has been together for quite some years. Life changes, people change. I think a lot of people are marrying earlier now too. I know people have been getting married at really young ages throughout the history of the world but think about how much longer a person is expected to live for. People say 40 is the new 20. Maybe just everyone I know has their biological clock on overdrive. When I was 19 I was going to get married, switching religions(therefore wowing another religions priest into letting us go ahead with it) completely sure that's what I wanted. Long story short I'm glad I got out in time. I'm 23 now and I'm sure my opinion will change in the years to come. Right now in my life I would go with a lease though.

Whatever then everyone. Get married. Have fun.

You know, i never liked you glowbelly. I think you're a prostitute.

edit: nvm

Yeah I actually agree with you. People are only supposed to be with one partner. Build a home, have kids, look after them until they leave and when they do, you have to look after each other until the end. I think people get divorced because either;

a) they chose the wrong person in the first place

b) they didn't put in enough to keep it going

I think it's a decision that shouldn't be made based entirely on emotional reasoning. You have to be able to figure out if you're honestly mature enough to commit to one person for the rest of your life. This is obviously easier said than done.

i think it's great that my divorce has sparked a semi-intelligent discussion about the integrity of marriage, but you all are missing my point: WHERE IS GEORGE?

quickly to the people who matter: hi chojin, thank you dole-icious, will im you mock, i orgasmed too sspadowsky, cheer up pub lover and i think you owe me some money ninjavenom.

George comes and goes, it appears.

How's your young'un?

i'm trying to remember if you matter.

Meh. No good deed goes unpunished. Sorry for caring.

apology accepted.

I would like to post in this thread, but I am at lack of things to say. I think it's fun to reflect on the fact that you were among my nemeses when I first came here and you evolved into a symbol of hope since we're classified by sociology pricks as being in different generations but I still think you're cool.

At least you'll have no more husbandly distractions from writing letters. Eh? EH??

george shows up once a year and makes a grander promise to stick around each time.

last time I think he swore on the life of his children that he'd stay!

I guess that's why BlueFox doesn't post here now either. :(

Glow, Dole, sorry for the owies.

My Brother once said "Life is a series of hassles punctuated by tragedy."

To this I add screaming fits of laughter as often as possible.

My thoughts on this, not that they matter. Divorce exists for a reason: sometimes it fixes your problems. Fixing problems is always a good thing, and problems are not always solved by staying in a failed relationship/marriage/sinking ship/burning building. Hope everything works out. kbye.

Glow, lots of love to you and cub. Please PM me your phone numverrrrr when you get a chance, cause your old one is off (likely in his name?)

congrats on your pending emancipation from nuptial slavery, glowbelly :(

DUDE

i reel in all the big fish

so i found 19 NINTEEN!! porn - edit: this is a story for another day.

HELLO DOUBLE POST I HATE YOU

Nevermind. I take it back, every divorce should be brutal and unbearable because you're stupid.

Neener neener neeeeeener.

pull my pigtails while you're at it

I like to pull pigtails.

Fuck it, divorce is not much fun to go through, but there are FAR WORSE things you can go through :)
see, I made it all better :posh

I was told that the reason divorce is so expensive is because it's worth it. It is.

glowbelly you don't still live in cleveland do you?

because if you're getting divorced you should move back

lake erie 4 lyfe

Black Flag, Glow, Ziggy, Dole, Kevin (outside of Philo)...

The Gathering is upon us.

hey seth what's up?

still being a crazy dude who is very smart?

I don't know, but Stephen Hawking and Plato are having a party in my head if you'd like me to ask them!

Those guys are fags

This thread comes at an interesting time. My parents are actually getting a divorce, and believe it or not, their 28th Anniversary is coming up this weekend. They both want their split to be amicable, and the lawyers are making everything hard for them. They both know what they want, they just want to settle it and get on with their lives.

When I was first told about this, it was like having the rug pulled out from under me. I think after a number of years, you expect them to grow old together. They've had problems for years, but I never expected either one of them to try and get out of it.

My parents have been threatening divorce for several years now. Each time my mom "breaks the news" to me I just nod and go "uh huh, okay." After a week or two she stops talking about it and everything goes back to normal.

i do live in cleveland LAKE EFFECT REPRESENTIN

Oh golly Karen! I've been done and gone forever. I love you darlin!

Are you okay???

lol glow says "divorce" and the VETS come out of the woodwork?

is her vage made of gold and coke?

How do you think her baby got those eyes?

yall just holler at me if you find out it's deep fried

her soul is, motherfucker.

correct! you have the board....

Good luck to you. I've seen it happen to a few couples in my family (including my folks) and it's never an easy thing to deal with. Just be there for your kid, and avoid talking smack about his daddy...at least when he can hear you.

Best thing about divorce is all the non commitment sex you'll be having.

SEX? wassat?

a p*nis in a vagina

penis thread what?

;_; cicumcision discussion ;_;

WHAT?

>:

honestly only glow could get away with that joke. >:
IT WAS NEVER ABOUT BEING FUNNY WAS IT

GLow could get away with murder...and we'd all still love her!!!! :love

I am late to this party.

All I have to say is :love :rock

A few minutes ago, I told my dad to go screw off.

Yesterday, in the custody battle, he said I was self-centered (which I am, but now I know exactly how he feels) and that he was afraid for my brothers. That's why I'm going to live with my mother and my brothers are being taken away from her.

I fucking hate court, I hate my mom, I hate my dad, and I hate the goddamn judge. Fuck him. This has been going on for nine years now and I don't think it'll ever let up.

I'm going to Dairy Queen. :(

Sorry to hear about your troubles, glowbelly :(

I don't visit the General forum much.

Welcome to the club, Glow :(

Hey Darryl!! What's happening, man!

divorce is happening!
