You failed to mention that the only reason they're still living together is because they cant sell their house with this economy, and cant afford to separate, and they dont have much of a choice, cuz someone has to take care of the kids, horses, and 14 (?) dogs. It was practically a farm house. It says right in the beginning that their plan would be to sell the house if anyone was buying right now. The economy has them trapped together.

Back in the day, couples would suffer life with each other till the kids were at least teenagers, before they got divorced, so there wouldnt be these problems though.

My friends parents did that back in the 80s. They got divorced and she didn't move out. But that's because the both were stubborn. She thought she should get the house and he thought it was his because he paid for it. So he refused to move out of his house. They eventually got back together.

edit.

i just watched the whole video. What an ungratful uppity bytch. this guy provides everything and she just up and decides she wants a divorce? At no point did she give a valid reason. Infidelity? Drug use? Abusive? Nada. It seems she just up and decided she wanted out. This is why no fault divorce sucks.

What's even funnier is how now she realizes she stepped into something she can't undo and keeps trying to blame him for it. She got what she asked for. At least he didn't go all mel gibson and say blow me! hahahaha.

This is classic.....

  • He has a crush on her in school.
  • He pedestalizes her.
  • He tries to win her over.
  • She likes the bad boys and ignores him.
  • He is clearly an AFC.
  • Ten years later, after getting pummeled in every orifice by god knows how many bad boys.....she "reappears" into his life.
  • They "find love and marry".

Fast forward many years and she wants to divorce and get half of the stuff or more.
That was also the first thing I picked up. She ran around like a s1ut for 10 years and then decided to settle down before she turned into a wrinkly washed up bi1tch.

She spent every dime and now they're screwed. This is such a stereotype... hilarious.

Facts about this relationship:

- Husband was chosen because of his provider qualities;
- The kids' extracurricular activities are extremely time consuming for the parents, so much that they have to use a planner to keep track of it all;
- They live in a massive, expensive house, though the husband is the penny-pincher so I guarantee the mansion was her idea;
- Wife has had several rounds of plastic surgery and looks disgusting;
- Wife was an alcoholic;
- Family has 14 dogs, 2 horses, a rat and a cat, and the wife considers caring for the animals as part of her "equivalent of two full-time jobs";
- Wife claims to work part-time as a real estate agent in a real estate market that is completely dead
- The husband is an accomplished chef;
- Wife tried to commit suicide;
- Wife claims the root of their marriage problems stems from being raped many years before they were married (though it's pretty obvious that she just lost sexual attraction for him and she's using her rape as an excuse to avoid sex with him);
- Husband has no clue why his wife asked for a divorce.

So this woman had IT ALL. She didn't have to work, she lived in a mansion, and yet she was a suicidal controlling *****.

WTF?!?!?!

Taken from another forum, and no, it's not a joke (with emphasis mine):

im a single mom living in income based housing rasing my two year old daughter off child support. we dont get much but we get by. i dont ask people for money ever! my parents help me out only when i really need it. i am a strong independant woman. i have been looking for work but with my situation is makes it hard to find a job that will fit my familes needs.... so why is it that when guys see/ hear unemployed or stay at home single mom they automatically think needy, gold digger, or that your looking for a free ride. i dont believe that someones worth should be based on how much money they have or where they live. i have a lot to offer someone but feel like i get overlooked because i dont work.
Food for thought.

Geez, is she typical of the midwest woman?

Condescending, arrogant, selfcentered, convinced that she is above accountability...and so on. She talks down to him like an overbearing employer would speak to a junior in the mailroom who continually screws up.
Certified shrew.

This is a related but slightly different topic:

Have you ever heard of a woman divorcing her husband with the intention of staying together? This is basically the BS my ex wife tried to sell me when she filed for divorce. She wanted to get a divorce to save the marriage, she wanted to divorce with the intent of getting back together later. Of course I told her that wasn't going to happen - if you divorce me you have breached all trust. But she did try to hang on to a relationship with me after the divorce.

I thought this was an unusual situation, but a friend of mine recently also got the same line. She wanted to get divorced as the marriage was not working out, but told him that if things went well they could maybe get remarried somewhere down the line.

In this case she had a guy on the side, as my friend eventually found out, but they have kept in contact, and still go out on "dates" and have sleepovers. I've told my buddy he needs to cut contact with her and just move on, but he still holds out hope of them getting back together. According to her, he hasn't cleaned up the things he needed to clean up in order for her to take him back.

Typical midwest woman ???

They don't start off that way .....wait a minute....

Maybe they do.......

Maybe they're pedistalized, p*ssy worshiped, and so addicted to the "you can have it all girl " Disneyland Princess fantasies while being encouraged (or at least not DISCOURAGED) to sl*t away their youth that by the time they see the clock has left them behind and they need to panic marry a pack mule provider AFC schmoe they are truly ruined.....

Maybe not all midwest chicks are like this but I've certainly seen a few first hand....


Over and Out.


EDIT: Divorced with expectation of continued cohabitation.....YGTBFSM!!!!!!!!!!.....f*ckin' dunce

So this woman had IT ALL.
Except a real man ;)

She's clearly the dominant one in the relationship. If you look at their first interaction/argument at the kitchen table, her voice is actually lower-pitched than his. That's not to mention that she's much more aggressive and domineering than he in pretty much all their interactions.

If you find yourself getting upset by this, it means that you could envision yourself in the same trap as this poor shlub. That's not a good sign for you. If you laugh at him, you're on the right track, because you know you could never be in his shoes.

While your post does have merits and I can see your point, I was annoyed because this poor bastard is about to get a ROYAL a$$ reaming because he was a sucka!!! For me it is hard to laugh at another human's unfortunate situation because he let it happen. YES he was a huge AFC.... but does he deserve the reaming he has coming??? You decide, but I say not! When I envision NICE GUY, that dude has it written all over him and we all know nice guys finish last!
