Yeah I’ve heard that one Dan, and I count myself lucky every day that we had no kids and she was looking to get out and be with her new rich boyfriend more than thinking about taking me through the ringer, at least at first. Turns out that new rich boyfriend wasn’t so rich after all, but he did do all the things for her that I wouldn’t do. Like hit her, cuss her out, throw her down a flight of stairs, threaten to kill her and her family, you know… the important things.
After about 3 months of this she started complaining that she got a raw deal in the divorce (she got half of everything and somehow that wasn’t fair). I had a few choice words for her after that conversation.
She begged me back for about 1.5 years but the longer I was single the more I realized that I got very lucky. Been about 3 years now and I’m starting to get the desire to date again, but I’ll never legally marry again. It is a no win situation. I’ll make the committment to be with 1 girl for the rest of my life if I can find a good one, but I’ll never give anyone that kind of power over me again.
