Make sure you print this out and save it. The judge needs to see this, which ever state your divorce happens in. If she sends you a text, or an e-mail, save it and print it out. If she calls you, record it. If you have any face-to-face contact with her, bring a witness. Write everything down, document it all. It's better to be prepared just in case you are allowed to use any part of it against her.

i am not trying to crap on his parade but as a man i honestly feel that there is no financial benefit to being married so i have been there and getting back on my feet at the moment and dont plan on going back. i am going to return to being the man whore that i was already comfortable with. the first female that has spoken to me recently told me that maybe i just havent found the "right one" lol i laughed hard as hell and after i did so did she because she knew the response that she had was a load of BS. if i was married all these years there would have never been trips to europe, mexico and canada. there would have never been eating lunch by Big Ben in london with a hot polish chick. none of the wild stuff that i did while i was single would have been accomplished in any way. all guys reading this make sure that you do all the traveling that you want to and when you settle down NEVER GET MARRIED. females are in control of their emotions alot better than men and can get away with it. the majority of females that i have been with have been married and didnt tell me until after the 3 or 4th time in the sack. or when i was walking out the house and bumped into the husband that way. weird times.

a smart man will look for the one that is not evil. the wise man has already realized that they are all evil.

Thankfully, you handled all this in the more respectful, "adult" like way. Glad to know you still have your dignity, as she does or will not.

I hate to read stuff like this, but I am glad to see you are trying to really give her a good stab to the side without getting physically involved.

Unfortunately, you live in San Diego, which is quite the drive/flight from the little town of Mississippi I am in. If you weren't so far, I'd be more than honored to help you get the neccesary parts to show that (please excuse me) b*tch.

I wish you luck on this new found journey - and no worries man, everything will always follow through.

P.S. - I also want to thank you for your service you have done for me and the rest of the country. I am not for the war, but impressed and astonished by the way our military is holding its ground. Congrats on being home, sir!

Maybe "some" guys, but I wouldn't go as far as "all guys". I traveled much more with my ex-wife; the whole double income thing works a lot better for that. We were married for 15 years (together for 20), and we had a very amicable divorce because of understanding for each other. I am now back with my ex-girlfriend (for the past 3 years) who I used to date before meeting my (then) wife. And I do plan on marrying her. But it is different situations for different people.

Wow. Damn she is crazy. Glad that you have a good head on and the family loves you so I think you should gain some leverage there.

Man, "Prenup" is sounding like a word people should learn at a younger age.

My girlfriends father wants her to make me sign a prenup. If it says we can't screw each other over, I'm down for signing. But she knows I don't like the idea of marriage. Its not like that is what determines we stay together.

Joint bank accounts never made sense to me but maybe I just don't know the benefits if any.

I spent the majority of my day at the North Island Naval Air Station auto hobby shop, swapping fluids and doing a general clean and inspect.The shards that came out of the rear diff fluid were just scary.She is now running Royal Purple in the engine, transmission, and rear diff. She has new tires so I'm no longer running on exposed radials. The rims got a bit of a rattlecan upgrade, no more nastiness.While I still have compression loss on 1 cylinder, the new oil (along with some Restore) have given her some balls back, and the new fluids in the transmission/rear diff have made the ride much quieter.I either swapped or gelcoated all the interior lights (except the gauge cluster, thats tomorrow) for red, she is now "rigged for red". The headlights got swapped so I'm no longer running around with my brights on to avoid getting pulled over for a burned out headlight. Taillights have an LED bulb upgrade.In the process of having her on the lift, I noticed that the right front control arm is loose and will need replacing. Im headed back to the auto shop tomorrow to finish the rattlecan job. I neglected to take pictures, but the hood and driver side have seen considerable paint damage. I'm pretty handy with a spraycan so I can make it look fairly decent. More pics tomorrow!The undercarriage was completely caked in grime and mung. It took nearly 30 minutes with a steam cleaner to clean it off. Holy crap there's actual metal under there! The baking soda sprinkles in the cabin got rid of the majority of the stink, and the removal of several bags worth of trash revealed a back seat! Again, more pics tomorrow.Thank everyone for their support. It's been amazing. I'm looking forward to turning this b**** into a beast.

if you were married for 15 years and not with the same woman then the last 15 was a waste of time and you could have been banging the other female that you are getting back with and are going to marry anyways. "wait honey i will put you on hold for 15 years so i can make sure that this new marriage is gonna work but you be great with being number 2 in my list of women for the next 15 years though". a waste of 15 years bacially and life is to short to misuse your time on one woman. if you are gonna get married then it should have been for life not for 15 years. i am just glad that my divorce came shortly after the now ex showed her true colors 2 weeks after marriage. common sense and security allowed me to make the choice of leaving and not throwing away my life on the wrong woman. and there there is always that comment females make, "thats because you havent found the right one". there is no "one female" there are only types that you are attracted to or are better matches with over others. i am just glad that there are no kids born from this relationship because thats no a fun time from what i have observed at all. i wish you and the new-ish lady a happy life though and i honestly with no sarcasm wish you well in that relationship.

as far as living in cougartown there were females from different countries from runway models and so on that were young to older. i would say most likely 19-52 but mainly in the early 30s. i have had alot of fun all over the world and do not regret a bit. as far as packin i guess when you bench over 400lbs and are in and out of powerlifting and bodybuilding competitions not many people try and fight.

Well, when one gets married, you really can't predict 15 years down the road. She wasn't a waste of time; she was right for the time we were together. If not for her, I wouldn't have my wonderful son. I never cheated and neither did she. Neither woman was number 2 ... just number 1 for the time we spent together. No regrets; I wouldn't change a thing.

Maybe for you; or you've been observing the wrong people. I've never had a better time since my son came into my life. To each their own; no disrespect.

True. But are you faster than a speeding bullet? Only kidding; my cousin does the same. The veins on his forehead are larger than my fingers!

Anyway, back to 240's ...

Got some more done today. The transmission fluid was swapped with Royal Purple, more shards on the drain plug. The interior lights are now FULLY rig for red, and the s***ty paint has started to process of priming, ready for sand (in the front at least)Yar, good day.ON the downside, my computer s**t the bed, so I broke out the ooooold laptop I was using in Iraq. Guess what the background picture was? Me and my wife, right after our wedding. I started to upload pics from my phone to my hard drive, and the picture file opened, with thumbnails.....including some of the nasty pics that SHE was sending to her other boys, who then send them to me.I now have a broken window, and my old laptop is sitting in the dumpster, 1 floor down, across the street. I guess I'm not totally immune to anger. Frak. At least the window is fairly cheap to replace....

Don't focus on the broken window, focus on the fact that I got to have wrench time (a rarity when married), and the fact that I have ridiculously good aim to hit the dumpster, with a laptop, through a window, from across the street, in the dark!

That undercarriage is looking clean. Very nice work.

And I couldn't figure out what the drain plug was at first. Scary stuff right there.

Ask and ye shall receive! There's the window! Over there is the dumpster And here is what remains of the laptop after I fished it out of the dumpster.

And thank you, I am rather pleased with how the undercarriage turned out. Now that I have regular (free-ish) access to lifts and steam cleaners, she should stay that way. The jagged metal bits on the drain plugs (both rear diff and transmission) were scary, but she runs smooth as silk now. Yar!
