A head’s up would’ve been nice, and I’m sure the general public would’ve been as surprised as our mutual friends were, to learn that you had no sense to not only extend this courtesy, but also lied about the way we split the finances you were “burdened” with. I’m sorry you felt I should be responsible for the enormous credit debt you amassed before we met, and that you felt the need to lie to win a tasteless contest. —Obviously Made the Right Decision in Leaving

  1. Your inability to explain things using the written word leads me to believe she also won most of the arguments.

  2. What BT said.

    Divorces are a dime a dozen these days.

    At least I know my mom’ll always have a job *shrug*

  3. A local radio station was giving away a divorce as a grand prize in a contest they had over valentines. I think OB is the poor unfortunate soul who was the better half of the person who won, hence the reference to the “general public” and “tasteless contest”.

  4. those behind door, no camera divorces have to stop. it almost sounds as bad as city hall now. pretty soon, you will be able to do everything without the presence of the other party. sex, being already taken care of, with the big ole dildo.
    ( in the year 2525, comes to mind, you know the one from zager and evans.)

  5. When I am **getting serious** with someone and thinking it may lead somewhere…….. I request (and provide) a current credit report …… Imagine if I married and discovered something that could set me back half-a-lifetime of accumulated wealth ……. fugggthatshit.

    I would not leave the person if their credit history isn’t stellar …. but an agreement would be in place that their fuck-ups are not my responsibility ………. didn’t your Daddy and Grand-Daddy teach you financial health along with the other lessons that are required for a balanced lifestyle?

    So, when you are planning to marry someone it is only being responsible to know the financial picture of the marriage.

    Suck it up …. you married her!

  6. The observant individual don’t need to see a credit history to figure out pretty quickly whether or not someone is dumb with money. Just go shopping with them.
