Happy Wife Happy Life

I don't see any mention of a child being abused, if the dad was able to get custody then there must have been something pretty bad going on with the mother cos the courts almost never give the dads custody.
well, here's someone who supports the courts .. thats nice.
and I accept that what is written could be read a number of ways ..
but I don't see how you can determine so much about the mother from Alanas short story here.

Don't worry
Be happy
Until it's time to pay alimony
She outta sight
It's a plight
And in the courtroom's cold embrace
A man loses half his hard earned place
Echoes of vows disappear
Assets halved in fear
Her laughter is in the air
Where love once shone, now replaced
And you gotta pay child support
In court, emotions contort.
Give it a fucking rest John

This was extremely uncalled for. So get off your damn pity party. I owned my own home when I met my husband. I also bought my house myself when I was with my ex.
My ex was very very nasty and terrorised me when we split. I took care of my kids on my own. He wouldn't pay child support for years. He would organise to see the kids and not show up for months. Then he'd be an ass to our daughter. I also used to earn triple his income.
So before you post rubbish like this perhaps take on board the 2 sides.😒

Where did I say the poem was directed at you? As with everything on this forum, unless directed at someone specific, we speak in general terms. And there are exceptions to every rule.

I'm curious as to whether you had to give up half of each of those two houses and pay him alimony...genuinely curious as I have to take on board both sides.

And you just proved my point that marriage/defacto relationships ought to be avoided.

Surprised a simple poem is a trigger. Feel free to replace she/her with he/his and add your own.

Well said as you say always 2 sides to the story, and it sounds like you have been through hell. Yet been strong and come out of it on the other side, good on you 👍

The thing being you seem to not like women. You only seem to lust.

Well John while I’m an advocate for single life, I have to point out that you did reply to her post.
I’m not going to guess your thoughts and intentions but when you reply to someone’s post and then say you didn’t direct it at them when they come at you, that’s pretty wack.

Copy that. Thank you for your perspective and I take it on board.

Johnmatilda how can you say you love women when your posts drip with misogyny and anger. You are consumed by your relationship experience. Your choice is simple. Suck it up, learn and move forward to a better emotional place or continue to embrace bitterness and loneliness.

There have been very few special women in my life but for one reason or the other, it was not meant to be e.g. some I met in a foreign country (yes, I was a passport bro but I had to come back). Still cherish those good times we had but that's all in the past. My statements on marriages/relationships was factual and I gave some examples.

Suck it up, learn and move forward to a better emotional place
I have and have found that I am happier doing my thing alone rather than pandering to someone else and trying to make them happy.
continue to embrace bitterness and loneliness
I am none of those things. I have been in some relationships where I felt bitter and lonely regardless.

Maybe that's where the learning comes in johnmatilda? 'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results'

You mean...like punting?

If so, then yes, yes I am insane.
You are a bitter lost case John, you again attempt to divert by pleading your sad case (which you contiue to add to) and then when that isnt working out for you, you once more try an divert by posting a one in a million press enhanhanced story by one woman as evidence for all women. Why dont you get off your soap box and apogise publicly to the lovely Admin lady you ridiculed? Your pompous denial is childish. How dare you offend Ms Langtrees staff like that? The honourable thing would be to apologise and leave. They own this place. You don't.
