Changes...
It has been quite a while since my last thread and I have been pretty much non-existent on this forum for the past four moths but I am glad to be back. Unfortunately just finalized a divorce of a 10 year marriage which was what kept me from being active here. End of an era but after it was all said an done my AD was nice enough to provide me something to cheer me up. On a plane now but will post a shot of my new incoming later on. Cheers.

Glad the AD came through AFTER the divorce brother, otherwise your EX would have been wearing your Daytona!

Sorry about the marriage. At least you got some money left over to afford a Rolex.
I know of some messy splits that have left both parties pretty much with nothing. |

Congratulations on your new watch. But, hearty congrats on your *freedom*! Nothing more satisfying than extracting yourself from a mentally unhealthy situation.
Personally, I've never had any intention of getting hitched and as such, can be a little cavalier about the institution. My parents 53 year marriage notwithstanding, far too many stories like yours soured me decades ago. Too many friends living in rooming houses after unsuccessful marriages after losing beautiful homes, cars, Art Collections, etc. Marriage is great for some and clearly, my opinion is my own but the financial ramifications and, usually the bad blood between the ex partners is not for me. When young children are affected negatively, it's even more tragic. I sincerely hope you don't dwell excessively on the situation and look forward to the next chapter. The Daytona is a great start even though it's only a materialistic 'vain bijou'. (sp) Sometimes even a small gift to oneself can put a smile on your face when looking into an uncertain future.
