Marriage and the Power of Divorce

Most places you need to sign paperwork for common law, just living together and doing whatever doesn't run into that anymore.

Cool, just watching out for you.

The migraine situation sounds brutal. It may be that the stress from both the divorce and the migraine condition is feeding into a cycle of more migraines. Hopefully the dr appointment will put your mind at ease and yield a plan to treat it.

Damn Tarrant. You got some major shit goin on. Question, what was your answer to the cheese or blowjob dilemma prior to splitting up with the soon to be ex-wife. And what is your answer now after receiving the best one of your life just a few days ago?

Also, HO-LEEEE SHIT. It's been such a long time since I had the flu I completely forgot how terrible it is. I was put down for 2 days, getting out of bed to get water to stay hydrated was excruciating. I need to find me a woman to take care of me in case this shit happens again.

I think he's asking if you have cheese on your dick

No, you can only have one of the two for the rest of your life, cheese or blowjobs, which would it be? Choose wisely.

I mean the answer is pretty easy that its cheese. I eat cheese almost every day.

I'm lactose-intolerant. Take me down to beej town.

No, people vastly misunderstand common law marriage. You can't accidentally or inadvertently get common law hooked up under any of the state statutes where it still exists that I've seen. Someone might pull Wyoming out of their ass or something but the ones I've seen, it's a non-starter.

Some Canadian provinces do have "automatic" common-law relationships. In Alberta they're called adult interdependent relationships. Basically if you've lived together for 3+ years, you're common law. If there's kids involved, it kicks in immediately. Property rights aren't part of the deal, but spousal support should the relationship end is possible.

But yeah, even here a lot of people have no fucking idea how it works. Many think it kicks in after 6 months, as soon as people move in together, etc etc.

I feel ya. Been about 18 months since splitting with my GF of 4 years after going through a divorce a few years before that. Pretty sure the one GF I split up with was about as close as I am ever going to get to a perfect personality/lifestyle/etc match, there was just too much baggage probably on both our parts and it blew up in a quick space after a great 4 years. Just have zero interest in even trying to get something going.

This is about where I'm at right now. I've spent the past 2 months moping around mostly. I've had a few ski trips on the weekends to keep me busy, otherwise it's just been working, going home and sitting on the couch smoking weed and watching some TV or playing a mindless game to keep my mind off shit. After I'm out of my current baggy I intend on spending that new found time hitting the gym and getting a few other personal goals accomplished.

Outside of that though, zero interest in pursuing any sort of relationship at the moment. I could probably use a rebound fuck or two, but don't have any reasonable prospects in that regard. Texted a few times with Xerxes, but she likely won't be down to fuck without the prospect of some sort of relationship, so no bueno there. Not having much luck on Tinder at all, although I'm pretty selective on who I swipe right on. Something will come up, sooner or later.

Just swipe right on everyone then filter from there.

This man gets it.

I've never used Tinder but what is the advantage of matching on the fatties that you know you're going to filter out later? Just for the sake of speed?

I filter out fatties/Trans folk but I just look at the first picture that pops out and if it looks decent, it goes right and then once we match up, then I'll go and investigate if I should waste my time sending her a "sup"

Tinder seems so glorious, yet I will never know its glory.

Yeah its really a genius idea. Before there was so much formality with online dating. It was basically exactly the opposite of how you actually met people in real life. Which is why we had such a huge GWBYHT over on FoH because there was tons of (valid) theory behind how to maximize your effectiveness with online dating. Now Tinder has pretty much abstracted that away and isn't pretending like you fall in love with someone based one a 3 paragraph description. It just sees if the very first check box of "I would like to fuck this person" is checked and then proceeds to let people actually get to know each other instead of reading about one another.
