That really really sucks.

Having read dozens of these posts on OSA, I don't feel comfortable with the risk/reward of marriage.

Lauren Weber. Affordable, driven and had served me well on my divorce.

I feel for you guys having to deal with divorce and the aftermath. I've not taken the plunge myself, partly because of this.

I waited till I was 33 to get married because of fear of this. I thought this one was different than the rest.
"I thought".

I've heard her name somewhere before too... I think a buddy of mine recommended her as one of his picks. That whole "driven" thing can sometimes be a good thing especially if you have a lot going on...

I wasted twenty years of my life in a lousy first marriage. If you are genuinely unhappy, get out asap. Short term pain for long term gain. It'll hurt for a little but you will be much happier. I am in my second marriage and while not everything is perfect (there is no such thing as a perfect person or marriage), I am a thousand times more happy than I was in my first. All I can say is getting out is sometimes the best plan. Once you get out, find yourself before you jump into another marriage. Good luck.

Yep same here, me and my girl have been together since I was a junior in high school (beginning of 2007 we met) and I managed to beat the teenage hormones and not run off to get married. Since I matured and have read about many bad experiences I may have a small marriage phobia. I mean I would love to but the fiscal repercussions seem too great.

Get extensive pre marriage counseling if you decide to take the plunge. I didnt do this and wish I had. So many things would have come to light before I said I Do.

I took a simple 2 step approach to mine, it worked really well as I ended up raising both my kids and only lost my old beat up work car and what the X could load into it. 1. Be on the offensive the whole time, be the first to file any and all paperwork, be relentless and ruthless, you lived with the person for years so you know their weaknesses, USE THEM. 2. If children are involved, they are what is most important. <-------- Thats a period. Show up in court and be prepaired to give it all up for them. Hint, have your lawyer slip in a clause in the custody agreement that says when they are older they can override the custody agreement if they have activities planned with their peers i.e. school functions, friends birthday partys, or just want to hang out with you for the weekend and go fishing or to the range. Best of luck.

This needs to be in the wallet of every married man..... Very VERY Wise words....

Thats no kidding. Going through this myself but now it seems she is realizing what she left was 10 times better than what she will end up with.
We wanted to settle this civil like without lawyers so we went to a divorce mediation service (had never heard of this until attorney friend recommended it).
He spelled out pretty clear what she was entitled to cash wise....$40k maybe $45k which in the long run isnt much. She walked away from 0 debt and very secure finances. I'm kind of a Dave Ramsey finacial guy.
Her big reason for leaving was "she had nothing to show for her 9 years of working". She doesnt understand "net worth" but she's learning it now.

Just dont be stupid and take her back when she comes crawling...

My old hunting buddy is still married to my first wife... I used to send him Christmas cards thanking him for screwing my wife at the time... Now I just send him a text every December.... She's his problem now... and I know for a FAT he's regretting the position he's in now
