I have a renewed appreciation for my non-crazy spouse.

A coworker and good friend is at the beginning of an ugly divorce.
While I am only hearing one side, it's consistent with what we have seen
and known of them. There's a wonderful almost-3-year-old little girl
involved. Sucks.

Children are almost always the victims in a divorce.

Although in the US, it has become a rite of passage.

*grumpy hat ON* just when you thought you'd safely compartmentalized any remaining feelings toward an old flame of 15 years ago, her mother shows up on facebook frothing mad at someone she's presumably dating, which sounds like it might be abusive, speaking in religious overtones and using words like "the devil."


what a piece of work those two (mother and daughter both) always were.


i don't need this. got enough problems of my own.

Old flames will always be old flames, most everyone has tender spots in their hearts for old flames. Even if they WERE crazy. :)
Wow, has it been 15 years already? Where has the time gone?

Nope. No tender spots here. Glad she's gone. Gadzooks, what a freaking psychopath she was.

You know why it was so important for you to have met and dated her? So you can appreicate Boo-boo all the more in life. if/when you ever disagree or even G-d forbid, fight, you can always look back and remember and realize how lucky you are.

It has. We're all getting old.

Anyway, the dust has all settled. I gave the old friend a lecture, to which her response was.. silence. :-P

And then I went and got my rocks off elsewhere.

We ARE getting older, thank G-d. But I recall the phrase was "older and wiser".
Does anyone here feel any wiser? I see the older bit, when does "wise" kick in? I wouldn't mind a bit of that.

When? Patience. To a true student, a year is as a day.

LS, I never knew how wise you were!
I hope with long patience and hard study I too can learn to be a wise guy

I have the great fortune that I have no old flames; I met my wife in 2nd grade and concluded that I would probably have to marry her by 3rd grade. Took a while to convince her, though.

Pretty early for decisions like that, but I assume it somehow worked out well for you.

13 years and counting. Complaints, but none worth mentioning most of the time, and I wouldn't trade her in for anything.

wow. Can't imagine how my twenties would've been without the angst of dumping and being dumped repeatedly...
