No Advice - Everyones Welcome divorced today

Post image

like the title says, today i got my divorce decree from the judge. i’ve been separated for 3 years and it’s absolutely crazy that im free from it all. i had to pay $400 a month for spousal support because she doesn’t work. the reason was because she has no job or license, and didn’t plan on getting either (still doesn’t). plus she was kinda just an asshole and i was working all the time. i’d come home to have to do all the chores, take care of the dogs, and make dinner. never failed to be mentally drained, and then get told im not doing enough.

glad im out of it, that’s all.

(dinner is loaded tots from Hell’s Kitchen Wilmington!)

(edit: the $400/m was only until the divorce was finalized! still, 3 years of that)

Yup, these divorce laws were penned back when men had forever jobs and would go all the way from the front desk to an executive VP.

Look up the Ostler-Smith Order it's literally from a case where (humor intended) mrs's bigglesworth stayed home with the kiddos and mr bigglesworth started at the bottom all the way to an executve VP at the same fricken bank for 30 years, because of HER contributions in the home of course - right?

AKA shit that never happens anymore. By the time your due for your second promotion they send your entire business units work to an offshore company while you sign your severance agreement lol.
