Was this one meant for me? :confused: I don't agree with you this time, Kathryn. Considering that supposedly approx 50% of marriages end in divorce, I don't think that the traditional "family" unit we are all accustomed to is necessarily the best and/or the only way to raise a well-adjusted and...

If the hat fits.... I can see the meeting with the lawyer and the soon-to-be ex-wife; Lawyer; "Righto; we'll go the husband for 100%"' S.T.B.E.W; "O.K". So, they do just that. Now; there wasn't any moment during their conversation where there was a gun held to her head and made her agree to...

Ha! Good one! Have been a victim of this I reckon in a previous issue. Took me a while to work out that "law ping pong" was goin' on... I ended up contacting the other party directly and we brokered our own resolution. All happy except the lawyers when we told them they were no...

LOL! Totally non PC! Just be careful though; every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

My wife didn't notice the new set of golf clubs I shouted myself a coupla years ago.....delayed gratification. :D

Actually, the looks can be almost anything. I was referring to just yer average women who is divorced and is now out possibly looking for the next Husband, and has some dollars behind her. A short term/one night stand etc type of relationship is a different matter again; shag first...
