This is not a shot.

You never will unless you experience it. I never have with my ex. My son who is now 40, his mom and I have always remained on good terms.

For the most part, I feel Counseling is bullshit. I've known several friends over the years. If you are going to marriage counseling and the counselor has never been married, you're and idiot. Same with child counseling when the therapist does not have kids. They cannot help if they cannot relate.

One of my favorites I have seen firsthand is at funerals. People coming up with good intentions saying their condolences and "I know how you feel!"

The **** you do! If your family is intact to include parents, siblings and kids and all, you have no fkn idea how they feel.

This has the rumblings of a future "who's been married and divorced the most and how bad one's been taken to the cleaners" thread.

first marriage, we dated for 4 years. Marriage didn't make it to the 3rd year.

I got very ill... she moved out. I was eligible for alimony... SERIOUS !

Instead, I got the house, everything inside except for the bedroom furniture, and my 1980 Corvette.

Had my transplant 6 months later and got a new life; met Yvonne a year after the surgery... been married this time 42 years.

I LOVE EX-WIFE JOKES.

Sounds like you did alright after all. Ya never know what's right around the blind corner. Bedroom furniture is a small price to pay.

The Judge would check everything out and then say "Request Denied" . My brother told me everytime the judge said that, she would look angrier and slump even more in her chair.
Pics of ex?

aint that the truth.

stick with "i'm sorry to hear of your loss" and STFU. want to help, bring them a meal. anything will work. or a chilled 6 pack if they are fond of beer.

no, you don't know how I feel. and it's unlikely i'll tell you.
