Is this the result of uncareful planning and two people getting married too soon? Or did things just deteriorate after marriage...things that couldn't be foreseen? Never been married myself, so just curious

Who knows? Well over 50% of marriages end in separation.

Well, not a too young marriage, by any means, wife like 7 years older than me, me born in 1963, her in 1956, not a too young deal.

I don't remeber exactly, I think the evil date was 07/09/02..... it was after 9-11, a year after

Being married is the most awful thing imaginable.

DOUG you know what you want. Now Pursue it and be Happy

Well they say "The reason divorce is sooo expensive, is because it's worth it"

From Best of Craigslist http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/lax/641609489.html

<title>best of craigslist : For Sale—One (1) Wife, slightly used, 1964 Model</title><link title="craigslist" media="all" href="http://www.craigslist.org/styles/craigslist.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"><link href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" rel="shortcut icon">For Sale—One (1) Wife, slightly used, 1964 Model

Needs muffler, as it is currently VERY LOUD. Intake valve is stuck in the open position.

Rear end needs major overhaul. A crack there has grown monstrously large.

Needs re-wiring—Many wires are currently crossed.

Lots of little dings in the body, which have been covered up with too much paint in a
failed effort at camouflaging them.

Needs re-upholstering—Carpet has turned a dingy gray.

Needs front-end work--Tits are too close to the ground, and knees are too far apart.

May not pass emissions test, as it currently produces foul clouds of malodorous gases on a regular basis,

Heater works great. Hot air is never in short supply..

Asking $500 or trade for 1984 model.

Listen my man...get the best divorce lawyer you can find. Find out quick by word of mouth who has the best connections and reputation.

Get him on retainer next week so your wife can't get him. Look for a shark.

Then go after her...be aggressive....scare the crap out of her.

Then after you break her...offer to split everything fair...down the middle...she'll then be happy to do it...completely different mind set if you start out aggressive.

Fire your shark...and finish things up all nicey nice with a lawyer you share to make it legal...and cheap. Be fair ..and demand the same.

This is the easiest...and cheapest way to do it in the long run. But go after her first...in legal matters..whoever hits first controls the game.

I take it you are not vested in any pension rights. If you are that's something to work out. Keep your cool until every things settled and there is no more ties between you.

My advice is this -find out who the best divorce lawyer in town is...

Then tell her you want a divorce and want to split everything 50/50. (Minus the shit like you keeping your shoes and her the cat).

IF she agrees, great - go to a cheap lawyer and have a contract drafted.

IF she says no, then no mercy, go hire the guy from line one and go for kill...

Most likely she'll go for half - especially if you tell her she can stay in the house and give you half when she moves. The alternative option if she has an income and wants to stay is to take out a home equity loan on half and let her repay it making the house hers.

I am so never getting married. Today I was joking about private jets. A really hot friend of mine said - I'll marry you if you get one. That sums it up right there... No fucking chance in hell. It's the worst contract you'll ever sign.

All I can say is that marriage is the best thing I ever did, and
I would never think for a second of having it another way.

Studies have shown that married couples live longer too...

Marriage is nothing but a security blanket for very insecure women.

I love my wife with all my heart and believe she feels the same way. I would not change things for anything on this earth.

p.s. Upon further review, my response may not be right on topic.
