When I was getting divorced, her attorney started talking about me paying alimony. I got on the phone and told her attorney that she should know that her client (my soon to be X wife) was crazy, and if she ever mentioned alimony again I would let the house go back to the bank, file bankruptcy and she would never get paid, because all the equity was in the house and property. Her attorney thought I was bluffing and told my attorney that. My attorney told her from knowing me and representing me, that I probably would carry out what I had outlined, and if he were her, the subject should be dropped.

I never heard anymore about alimony from that point. I wanted out, I was willing to pay half, and be fair. I wasn't willing to be taken advantage of, I had already been taken advantage of by a conniving, mentally ill, alcoholic, vindictive, nutcase.

That wasn't who I married 25 years before that, people do change, and they do deceive their partners. Mental illness is a progressive thing, add alcoholism, and things go south before you know it.

Rant over............

So you were married to my ex too huh?
My ex had a switch she could flip on and off at will. One minute be at the PTA meeting, next thing you know some bartender is calling me at work telling me she passed out on the floor and if I didn’t come get her they’re calling the cops. This got old real quick and she refused to even acknowledge she ever did anything wrong. Lies, cheating, whatever. But she could put on the princess act around family and church to a t.
See ya!
