2.) The problem is that all of my stories aren't like "*facepalm* my ex is so stupid he did [stupid thing]" they're like: My ex (not the one that frequents this forum) was not from America and the paperwork for me to sponsor him was $1000. Being a young mother who was trying to put herself through college and was the sole-breadwinner due to my ex thinking he was "above" under-the-table work, it took me months and months, but I finally saved up the $1000 to file the paperwork for him to get his green card. I checked my savings account balance to double check that I had actually, in fact, saved enough to find that my savings account was completely empty. My ex had wiped the account out in two months time purchasing things for his avatar in SecondLife (think "The Sims" but where you use real, actual money to pay for everything in the game). He had bought himself an island, a beach house, a dune buggy, a boat, and a whale.

The next day I filed divorce paperwork.

Best thing I ever did.

Wow, what an idiot! He deserves a swift kick in the nuts, and that's just to start with.

Bishop, that's another great story too. Can't rep either of you again yet, I apparently haven't been spreading it around enough lately.

haha, i am married. 4 years, still learning the ropes! Prob still would have...subtly, of course.

No such thing as subtly. They see through that right away. It's part of their DNA.


My wife decided to quit her job and now she stays at home. To keep her busy she started buying and selling Barbie dolls on E-Bay. She cleans them up, makes clothes and one off specials like Zombie Barbie. Anyway this has turned into a pretty good deal for her. She now has a ton of Barbie clothes, accessories, dolls, etc to work with.

We had bought a small kids card table for the G-kids to use when they come over. She has turned it into her base of operations. It's full edge to edge and stacked high with Barbie stuff. At least once a day, I hear, "Why does everything keep falling off this table"? I tell her she needs more room and to get a bigger table. Of course she says, "I like this table and it's just the right height". Of course I suggest she set some things aside, which at that point she replies, "But I might need that". I tell her I have no magic wand and she can continue as is, get a bigger table or set things aside. Of course her reply was, "You're no help"! lol

You know better than to provide a solution to the problem.
I feel no sympathy.

Even after all these years and knowing better, there are times I can't resist. lol

My son is 15 now and knows everything. I therefore let him be the sacrificial lamb.
One of those I'm not saying he's right, but I'm not saying he's wrong situations.

After reading through this thread, all it's done is reaffirm my decision to tell my girlfriend that I have no interest in getting married.

LOL.......We have a sign in our garage that reads, "Hire a teenager while they still know everything."

I mean, I'm 31 and it's not like this is my first relationship. I'm hoping that I continue to not succumb.

My advice: live in sin before you decide to tie the knot, have her move in. You will see your potential partner at her worst, and you'll probably get to see all kinds of nasty habits, messiness, and/or pet peeves that you'd never see if you were just going over to her place for Netflix and chill. It's hard to keep up a facade every day if she's putting on a show for you. You can decide if any are deal breakers, or if you care about her enough to overlook things that she will probably do all her life. Maybe she does nothing that drives you crazy, in which case put a ring on it.

Then again, you can just follow your current course of action and not succumb.

That's certainly good advice, and definitely the logical way to approach the possibility of marriage. I just don't see any benefits or positives to actually *getting* married, though. Why would you want to settle for one person for the rest of your life? If you take care of yourself and have a good job and lead an interesting life, you're never going to sleep alone.

If kids are involved, I understand wanting to give them a stable environment in which to grow, but if you don't have kids or don't want kids (like me)? You're just legally hitching your wagon to something that's only going to lose value over the years.

Even though she doesn't believe it, I wouldn't trade mine. It's those crazy things they do that keep things interesting.

I'm a happily married guy (married a girl from Germany, foreign girls are the way to go) but I can't argue with your outlook. If I didn't want kids (I have two) then I don't think I would have gotten married either. If something happens and I find myself single, I can't see myself getting married again.

Why is married life so much better than single life? I've never thought I was missing out on anything by being single or dating around.

I will chip in a little on this. Marry the right person and married life is better, make a bad choice and married life sucks. You have someone to depend on, sex is better (sounds weird but I think that it is true, probably not as frequent but better on average), and if you marry the right person you have one of your best friends every day there with you. Married life isn't perfect even if you choose the right person but than again no relationship (long term friends, family, etc.) is always perfect. To me marrying the right person is always the best choice, but marrying the wrong person is the worst decision. Ok, not really helpful.

So... the wife and I have a trip to Chicago at the end of this month. She calls me up and asks me if Chicago is close to New York City. I say no it's actually not that close. She informed me that when she checked out Chicago on the computer that it was actually in Illinois. I was like yeah I know. She responded by saying that she never knew that.

Thanks to some of the local Chicago residents out here for your suggestions on what to do, where to eat, etc.

There's something about women and geography. It's like they never took it in grade school or middle school.
