Tennessee. But I only practice mediation.

I'm wondering if I don't know who you are. I noticed one of my friends has a "like" on your page, which leads me to believe you might be in my "surrounding area".

On my silly UncleGorilla Facebook page? It's possible. Though there's about 28,000 likes on that page. 3000 of which are out of Houston, TX. Apparently, my stupidity is big in Texas.

*points to the the Tennessee*

Although, I'm sure you already figured that one out, and if you follow the news, you know the city of shame in which I live. Ah, the Texans love you! I wouldn't call it stupidity, just good humor.

There's a lot of southern likes across the board. But Houston has more than any other city on the planet.

No clue why.

They must enjoy sarcasm. But the burning question is, are you going to have your picture plastered all over the internet with memes that are full of win and awesome because you have so much swag that you can't be stopped?

Mine wasn't necessarily a horror story, it just took too long. 13 months going back and forth., mostly because the house was mortgaged in my name and he was going to keep living in it but can't seem to get it re-financed in his name. We weren't even fighting over our daugther because she turned 18 about 6 weeks before the divorce was final. It was final this past May. Cooincidentally, our 21st anniversary would have been yesterday.

I was unhappy in that marraige for so long but stayed because of my marraige vows. At some point, enough was enough. Much happier these days.

Divorced my ex and found out some years later after we got divorced that she had never divorced her previous husband so our marriage was never legal in the first place. I gave her everything just to get out of the marriage and left with just my clothes. Unfortunately, we had children and now I have no parental rights at all because parentage was never established prior to the divorce. Had to go back to court to force her to comply with an order for genetic testing to prove that they were my kids. Come to find out, they weren't. I'm still required to pay child support even though I have no visitation or custody rights. She had been cheating on me with her ex while we were dating after the guy got kicked out of the military for drug use, sold all of their household possessions and disappeared on her. Needless to say, it was almost 15 years before I trusted another woman enough to even consider getting married again.

If true, this story wins so far.

I so agree with this one

My fiancé is a divorced man.

His story reminds me a little bit of wilsoncl6's. My fiancé was married and had a child with his ex-wife, who had cheated on him before in their relationship but he thought marriage might help. She was about four months pregnant when they got married and unfortunately, their son was born and passed away from a birth defect called congenital diaphragmatic hernia. About six weeks later, he catches her cheating on him by realizing she has a $700 phone bill talking to this guy... so they get legally separated and he gets deployed to Iraq where she is trying to talk to him about reconciliation while he is there. He considers it because at the time he thought that it was the "right thing to do" to honor his son, but.... she becomes pregnant with the other guy's baby while he is deployed despite saying, "No! Not talking to that guy!" The guy has NO high school diploma, GED, job.... at the time, it was to be his sixth kid with five women before turning 23! ... he is now at seven kids with five women.

Then, she memorized his debit card information and leaked about $3,000 of his money from his bank account to buy stuff for the new boyfriend and kept all of the stuff they had for their son.

For a while, every year, she would email him angry that he wouldn't talk to her about their shared experience, like he owed her anything! Some people.....

...at least I'm an upgrade? LOL!

I hate cheating, but when people cheat on their S.O who is deployed in the military infuriates me to no end. They're over there fighting for your freedom and you're banging other people. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Sounds like you are a heck of an upgrade from this turbo sl*t.

Sorry to everyone who has had a crappy divorce. My sister's divorce was finally finalized. It was drugged out forever because her ex kept lying about how much money he made, his retirement, and lied about how he still had his job, but was actually fired from it in January but then found a new job and never bothered to tell anyone so they wouldn't take child support out of his new check. After reading this, as much of a douchenozzle her ex is, she didn't have such a horrible time.

What a sad post

Mine wasn't a horror story because I made sure it didn't turn out that way. I let him have the house and most of what was in it and just started over fresh on my own. It took less than 4 months and was not very expensive because it was not complicated.

Same thing happened to me! And he was stilling screwing around with the other wife during our marriage. Thanks for sharing that because now I don't feel like the world's biggest sucker! I only found out during the divorce proceedings when a girlfriend of his showed up at my house trying to collect money he owed her and spilled the beans.

It turned out to be a blessing because, after I kicked him out and he realized I wasn't going to take him back, the IRS suddenly slapped a lien on my property and home. Turns out he had a huge tax debt from the years prior to our marriage that he had kept hidden from me throughout our marriage. When I was able to annul the marriage, IRS had to stop coming after me for his debts.

That was 15 years ago. I've stayed single.

Sorry you had the same experience. I wish I had found out during the divorce proceedings. She raked me over the coals for years before the truth came out. I swore that I'd try marriage only once and never again if it didn't work out but not so much. Took a long time to regain trust but I managed. I'm sure you will too eventually. I just learned to be picky and to pay attention to warning signs.

If I had a pin through my head and was an ugly stick I'd be pretty sad too.

He was a doo doo head and a mean man.

We got a divorce. We had a mediation(Thumbs up) and decided on 50/50 custody.
He's still a doo doo head, he wants us to move to Virginia and we refuse.
BUT he's a reasonably good father to my babies so I let him live. I help him out when he has to travel, and he doesn't help us out because he's never home when he doesn't have them but I don't care.

I think we are a divorce success story(I had to post a non horror story.
