WH just took last $25,000. out of his retirement savings. But he decided to share it with me!

Dear Believer -

Here is $100. I know it ain't much. I'm sorry I haven't supported you to your standard. For your information I did pay off the Harley.

I'm only going to be working for another month or so and then I'm going to look for a better job. I really don't want to work full-time.

With love, Mr. Believer

I almost fell over dead laughing. He and his sweetie have gone through $125,000. now. Over the last 2 years he has given me $600.

I'm working full time, overtime, and have my own business. Actually I don't want to work full time either. I wonder if he realizes that most people would rather not work full time? Too funny - I doubt that he will ever come out of the fog.

In fact I don't want to work at all. I just want to have fun. T'aint fair.

Believer I just counted how many stepkids you have. All his? Isn't he supposed to be paying for those teens education or something?

Gross. One thing I can't tolerate in a man is laziness, that's right next to unfaithfulness in my book.

That lucky OW. What a keeper he is. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Hey, believer! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />


He seems like SUCH a generous man! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

You ARE going to blow it all on something really dumb, right? Something frivolous maybe? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

I heard you can buy a $100 blow-dryer. You might need one someday. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Later,
NOW

B, it must make you feel so good to know how far you've come.

Hmmmm. I'll have to think hard on how to spend the money since it was such a sacrifice for him.

Oh, I have to change my sig line. The kids are all 2 years older and mostly on their own.

WHAT????

You don't really like working full-time? Oh heck, I LOVE my shrill alarm going off at 3am in the morning, dragging my tired ol' rear outta bed, rushing to get out the door before the freeways get tied up, having my work critiqued by supervisors half my age with half my experience. What's not to like??? Infact, I think if I won the lotto,,I'd keep working! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

And don't spend that $100 too carelessly. Ya never know when you'll get a windfall like that again!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

$100.00? Whose face is on that bill? LOL!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Is it a rare bill or monopoly $$? YIKES! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> What an insult. Of course in fogland he must think he is Mr. Generous.

My my believer, you are certainly a nice lady to put up with that schmuck. Well go do your nails or treat yourself to something fun at a spa. You may have to pay the diffence, but hey, you're worth it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Glad to see you are above and beyond that guy. Imagine not that long ago you thought he was worth saving. How quickly the A makes one lose their value. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />

Believer,

My goodness, gracious.....with this Guy, I guess its a miracle you Got Anything at all.

Sure is a Blessing though that your able to see the Humor in the situation.

(Guess if you can keep your cool about this......I can too). But man this is one where I Don't want to (as I'm sure you know what I mean).

Unfortunately, this is one where you can only either laugh... or cry about.

So Happy to see your able to take the better approach.

Keep doing well for yourself.... and have the Last Laugh.
take care

Wow, B can't believe it! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> Did you support those kids on your own after he left? Only 600.00 total and they have run through his retirement? What the heck does he think he is going to live on? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> Sheesh, so glad you are out of that mess. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

He really DOES believe that he is being quite generous. It cracks me up. And my "standards" are so low, there are practically none. We are now arguing about the mobile home I'm living in. We paid $4,000. for it 3 years ago. I'd hate to see the fight if we had a lot. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

All I can say believer, is GOD BLESS YOU for your WONDERFUL sense of humor. Oh my. I had a mighty belly-laugh when I read your original post.

FF- WH has retired and has a check coming in every month. So he doesn't have to work.

2-long - Bwahaahaaa! You remind me of my WH. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Believer,
I think that when it comes to your home, you should tell your WH that when he coughs up half of the money he's blown over the past 2 years, you'll be happy to let him have your mobile home so you can go buy yourself a brand new one.

I really think you should have already filed for divorce to protect your financial interests, because aren't assets evenly divided between spouses in CA?

Wow, believer. Wowey wow.

Tonight I spent $16.50 on a pizza I couldn't afford and a bunch of drunk people ate most of it. Can I have $20 also? Moneybags.

Hey believer. Wow, so you got $100? Well, my WH has given me a total of $300 since July. Nice huh? He doesn't think he's going to have to pay back child support. HAHAHAHAHAHA...he's in for a shocker!!!
He did our taxes and told me how much we'll get back and that he's splitting that with me......DUH..well yeah...it's half mine!
He's so deep in the fog and I don't see it ever lifting. Him and the OW can have each other....I'm so done!!!
