What you see is what you get, generally speaking of course, when it comes to men. So......no, I'm not a bitter woman. I guess we will all have to wait and see how the story unfolds.....but if I was a bettin' woman, my money is on HIS infidelity.
Hm, easy now, sapph, heh.....I never said that *you* were bitter.....


"A guilty conscience needs no accuser." -English proverb


By the way, Flirty Me personally gets along better with women myself, in fact, for years I definitely MUCH prefer women bosses over men bosses because women bosses tend to just basically say: "Okay, I want this and this and this and this and this done. I need all of that done today and I need it all done by such and such o'clock. Okay? Okay, then. Buh-bye.".....and then they just leave to where they have to go to thus leaving me peacefully-alone {even for hours} to work alone as *I* see fit. No annoying hovering.


Men bosses, on the other hand, issue me my orders.....and then they USUALLY annoyingly-hover frequently throughout the day to see if I am doing things down to the letter insofaras procedure goes. EVEN TO SEE IF I AM PICKING-UP LITTER *THEIR WAY* AS THEY TOLD ME TO.....


Um, I rather prefer women's company, and enjoying the daily s*x**l tension that is usually underlyingly-present, heh, heh, heh.....


P.S. I used to know a hot, lovely, sexy, fine stripper named Sapphire, by the way. I sincerely-hope she is doing great wherever she is nowadays.......

I have one question. If a married couple is married for a long time, and the guy is the one who had been working all marriage long for the money, for the house, for everything that they've built together....why should the woman get 50%? Especially if she didn't work for it, aside from being a mother and homemaker?

50% seems to be way too high in those situations. I imagine that if she was just a mom and a homemaker, she should get 10-25% or so. But not 50%.

IF, on the other hand, if the wife had been an equal or greater earner, then it should be 50% or higher for her.

And of course, if the man wasn't working, but the wife was, then she gets most of the property and the money. It goes both ways.

That's just my opinion. Anyone disagree?

Oo, well, after having observed many, many, many married couples over the years, I would definitely say that being a mother and a homemaker is WAY more than a ton of {oftimes unpaid and underappreciated} work collectively, Soviet, yes.......

I am not going to give an opinion but the theory and it is a sound legal theory(among many) is, by being mom/homeaker/whatever, she gave up on the chance to earn/get educated/whatever.

in other words, the way the law often sees it isnt about what she did or didnt contribute to the marriage but what she (could) gave up. Had she not been the "other" half of said marriage she could/would have done _____.... and you are, in part, compensating her for that lost opportunity/time.

Although my Wife worked for 27 years before Retiring she certainly contributed more than I did (I'm not ashamed to admit the truth) when it came to raising two Sons and maintaining / running a household.

Even if she never worked outside the home how in the Hell could I ever or anyone else put a price or percentage on her contributions over the past 20 years?

Soviet- With all due respect you will someday have the pleasure of Marriage and see the importance of your Wife. In the meantime enjoy the Camping Trip. I'm sorry you won't have someone there to keep you warm.

I guess I should -- won't -- but should cut you some slack because you are soo young and naïve about the world, but let me assure you, women who are just a "mother and homemaker" as you put it are working more than you ever will at any 9 to 5 job. Please don't attempt to reproduce until you can value and appreciate the one who will be raising your children. And never, ever, ever say a stay-at-home mom is "not working." You have absolutely no clue, little one. No clue.

I've been to platinum tattoos and piercing store on 410 & Marbach, and not only was the guy rude, he qouted me a price of $55.00 for an eyebrow piercing! They are way over priced and while yes the 39.00 optical stores did offer a good bargain I will never be giving my hard earned money over to them ever again, I say good riddance to trash like that. Glad the wife is okay

Soviet: if you had to hire a women ( yes, women - one woman would not want to work so many hours and be "on call" 24/7) and pay them for every task they do, and every hour they spent on kids rearing, meals cooking, household, gardening, tending to your happiness etc. - you might be very surprised that they made more money than you do...
