Cresta,having me as an ex is worse than death


Cheers for all the info and input but im still going to leave with what i came into the marriage with, nothing,will sign the papers and move on

Just make sure you take the beer!

no you're not bernie. I've already submitted the documents saying that you will be seeking a settlement. So get used to the idea.

I hope you will accept potatoes as payment

I have read more or less all the comments here, I wasn't going to post on this..but what I will say is......look at it this way. You are leaving with what you got/as you started before....but. If you look at it from another angle - the time/money(which surely you did, when you lived with your OH, expenses with the house etc etc - You would of had your own place to live etc, but though being married - all that was set up, so you are actually leaving something behind - what you put into your life while you were with that person - And that actually accrues monetary value aswell..i.e If you hadn't of been married - would you of had your own place in Oz etc - that is how you should look at it.
I fully understand/as do everyone, with you leaving with the shirt on your back(as you started) - but that is through how the situation unfolded in the end - If you had of started out with the shirt on your back, and hadn't of been married - would you have accrued more? - That is why people look for half/settlement etc.

It's not about taking money from someone/ it's about what you would of had if you hadn't of been in this situation.

Best of luck

A good point

exactly right. Its the "opportunity cost".... the "what would have happened otherwise."

BRISBANE is the nation's divorce capital, with more than 190 marriages dissolved every week in the city's Federal Magistrates Court.
The busiest divorce court in the country processed almost 10,000 divorce applications last financial year, figures reveal.
But experts say it's not traditional Queensland couples driving the bust-up bonanza, rather it seems interstate and overseas migrants are breaking under the strain of being separated from family and friends.

Interesting.............

Take her to the cleaners!

Not sure whether this is relevant.... But everyone in football circles "Knows" that SEQueensland supporters are the most fickle in the country..... It's more than just fickle though its fickle with a vengance. I suppose supporting a team can be compared to a marriage in someways.

Shaking our heads in disbelief @ GCU and BRoar... especially when you compare Adelaide, Wellington and NQF (Townsville)....

Most blokes I have known are more loyal to their football teams than to their wives

....and get her to pick my shirts up while she's there.

A win for yer team is soooooo much better than sex with the wife,mind you even a heavy defeat for my team was better than sex with my ex

Like John Terry you mean
