Used to have a guy that I worked with in construction buy a 24 pack every night. I don't know how it was even possible but that doesn't even add up to $800 a month when it's bud or something similar.
My dad was the same. Whenever we would go out to eat he would put away 2-3 pitchers of beer all by himself. Kinda frustrates me imagining how much money he literally pissed away over the years.

We just completed a short sale last year. The remaining debt I have is in credit cards that are in my name and not hers. So about the house. If I look back and try to figure out where I went wrong that is one key spot.
Doesn't matter, if the note was in both of your names then the debt is in both of your names. And if you bought the house while married it's community property. What did the divorce decree say about this?

Credit card debt doesn't matter whose name if it was incurred while married. What does the divorce decree say about this debt?

Man i really felt like going out and getting completely black out smashed tonight and sleeping in flower bed but couldn't because I'm married and have to build a deck tomorrow. Marriage can be pretty boring.

Man, fucking brutality. It sounds like you probably need a lawyer. If she's dumping it on her children this is not the storybook ohnoes divorce.

When she's tired of hurting you this way, shell find another way.

Do you have a decent irl buddy to run it past though? Because a lawyer isn't going to tell you that you're full shit even if you are, but a buddy might... And save you some cash.

Getting the feeling he's not actually divorced...Maybe I'm nuts, but from what he's said it almost seems like they've just separated.

I likened that to old ideals that kept women locked away in houses. Women can't be trusted.
Old ideals? This shit is psychology 101 man. Why do you think people who are thieves always feel like people can't be trusted? Behavior projection isn't fucking anecdotal.

Not useful questions without ascertaining their state of residency first, lol.

CJ is no Saint, but some of you guys are just fucking assholes. The Rero Bro came here for some guidance, I am of the opinion that we should encourage his sobriety and attempt to give him sound advice to fix his marriage. I know many of you cynical fucks have never gotten laid let alone be in a relationship longer than a weekend but try to help a bro, not shit all over him. How many of you fuckheads grew up with split parents or a drunk Dad etc, we have an opportunity to help right some of the wrongs from our childhood(s) with some positive reinforcement and you cunts try one up each other with your stupid childish jokes/remarks. This is the adult forum, act like one or GTFO.

I am disappoint.

Where have the mods been the last few pages??? Like WTFuckity Fuck?

Oh Khane STFU, I pretty much disregard 90% of the shit you say because you choose to live in this little bubble where no woman is good enough for you. You have no idea what it takes to be in a relationship because you are scared to be in one. WTF happened in your childhood that you need to go (but avoid) Therapist? You are such a fucking cliche.

Nope, just annoyed at the level of shitty behavior in this thread today. Nice try at deflecting though.

If this were Screenshots I would not say a word.

That is a big part of the rub. I pay her what I have approximated what the state would require me to pay her. My goal is to complete paying off the debt by the end of the year and then at that point offer to pay more for specific child expenses with conditions of more visitation and communication. That in a nut shell is my long term plan.
At which point she will invoke the courts to wring you dry. You dun fucked up by not getting the courts involved at the outset.

Khane, I was literally on voice with Araxen, Obsequey & Brando (playing Overwatch) minutes before posting. Quit with the straw-man and own up to your shitty behavior in the adult forum you coward.

The alcoholism of family members had a negative impact on my life multiple times, and one of the earliest memories I have, quite possibly the earliest, is being woken up in the wee hours of the morning by my mom because she couldn't leave me and my sister home alone while she went to bail my dad out of the drunk tank. I have sympathy for Calhoon, but it is very measured. Like I said, it's good that he has taken the first steps towards turning things around, but two months of sobriety after years of rampant alcohol abuse doesn't give him any room to judge his wife, even if he's telling the absolute truth and she's an insufferable cunt.

I don't disagree with anything you said Gav. I just feel bad that CJ came here to vent with some hope of a little encouragement and it just seemed like everyone took their shitty Day/Week/Life out on him. It seemed to me that CJ was/is trying to make some positive changes in his life and maybe he is in a little over his head. Maybe he isn't equipped or hasn't learned the coping skills to get by day to day being sober.

He has a 9 month old and I really hope for that kids sake that that he gets his shit together long term and is a REAL Dad not some drunk cliche. And if there is any chance that a kind word from a stranger can help make that happen you can be sure I am more than happy to provide that kind word. I know this is the internet but it is the Adult Forum and CJ showed some real vulnerability which to me takes courage, but so many cynical people just shit on him. I am done with this for the night, because I need to read my kids some bed time stories, I will be back tomorrow.
