my girlfriend is leaving

im telling ya......this is why everyone needs a basement full of crocodiles.

so.. fucking... true. common law my ass beatch. fuck does this suck.

pigs, starve them for a week and they'll go through a body in 30 mins

If you know anyone that has a basement full of crocodiles, let me know so I can throw my ex-husband down there and save myself another year+ of paying him. Hmmm.. likely they'd spit him out though.

Quiet... Girlfriend of how long and where do you live? If it's in the US anywhere I've been told that most states make it really hard to apply the community property laws to anyone other than legally married couples.

thanks PK, i live in Canada though. and she want's HALF. I've already talked to my lawyer, and he does not seem too confident.

Does anyone in Canada know of a very good lawyer that deals with kind of shit?

thanks

Quiet

M.O.B

Money Over Bitches

She could get half? You gotta be kidding me. You need a prenup these days just to have a fucking girlfriend??

You probably gotta just suck it up and pay half.

man, quiet i'm sorry . i have had the same girlfriend for the last 5 years and three weeks ago she tells me that she thinks that we should think about dating other people again. what the fuck. i spend 5 years with her and want to see other people. yeah right. now i am single, but at least we were not married and i dont have all the legal issues.

well for what it is worth ..... THAT FUCKING SUCKS

3 words.......

hehehehe

i am pretty sure i'll get her down to a lump settlement. but it will still run into the 100's of thousands. my biz is worth 3-4 mill though. i wil sell it to my brother (who already works for me) for 1 dollar if it comes to it.

i don't think it will though. but she wants lots of money - it will definitely be 150K+, and the S2000 (my car). sweet.

glad to hear you're not bitter PK

if it doesn't work out with your brother...well, i've got a dollar around here somewhere

s2000 a honda right ... those are cool cars. you need to and her

haha.. love the icons. Moi bitter.. damn right. 9 years with the guy.. he never did a dang thing to help me develop my biz, yet there he sits cashing my monthly checks and cruising in the 36' boat with my logo on it. I'm sure I've posted the whole dang "Better than Jerry Springer" story many times before.

I'm really sorry to hear that man.

My advice - kick her out and *change the locks*. I was trusting and didn't bother - went to Vegas for Internext and came back to an empty apartment.

She took everything, bar the computer, computer desk and DVD player.

be like me and date a girl with more money than yourself :D

LMAO

if you are worth "3-4M" why complain about 150k and a 25k honda? if she reads this post, she'll be asking for 2M!

150k = 150k after taxes = over 300K cash in Canada before taxes. the biz is worth 3-4 mill, but is not going to be sold for that amount anytime soon. the honda is worth 32K US.

she will never read this post. do i need to post my stats yet again?

yup hilarious. and all i am hoping for 150K taxes paid, plus a 32K car. if i am *really* lucky. damn funny.

Thats Fucked up, they should be shot (post my sites) I cant believe the balls of some spouses. One of my friend's wife bitched and bitched at him as he worked his ass off to make it in this bizz, said she would (post my sites) never touch a dime of the money that was made in this buisness, right. well he did well, made great money and (post my sites) then she devorced him and took half the money. im sure there are alot of these stories out there, but it never ceses to amaze me the gall of people.

I didn't think that oculd happen here in Canada... if she wan'ts half, I'll hook ya up with a buddy of mine, he's a "cleaner", he'll get the job done :D

interesting... im still hoping to talk the bitch into a lump sum nice and easy. we'll see.

Lots of murders go unsolved in Canada, there's so many places to hide the bodies

Maybe someone should write a book on this subject... Man, this must really suck..

i've never heard the story PK

come on, share

Transfer all your dollars to the Cayman Islands just for a laugh, sell your car to your brother for $1 (1$ Canadian, make it a real deal) it'll take her about ten times longer to get at it and in the mean time you can make yourself a minimum wage employee of your own business.

If you've got the money and you really don't want to pay her ( I wouldn't) make her play a long drawn out waiting game. No laywer's gonna take a three-five year case on spec, after a year she'll be long gone.

okay..quick and dirty..

Married the guy in 1990. Was too naive at the time to know he was into cocaine. Spent the first five years dealing with his compulsive lying, the drugs (never at home but always not coming home from work on paydays), gambling, etc. I did my best to keep the bills paid during that time..always trying to convince myself there was light at the end of the tunnel. He finally bottomed out on the drugs and things seemed pretty stable except for an occassional slip, but still lied like crazy. Problem was I became too good a detective. I knew his ways.

Started the website in late 95, it grew like gangbusters from there. Bought a new home and moved in 1997. Ex quit his job in 97 or 98..sat on his butt alot, did some of the Mr Mom kind of stuff. My oldest son met a girl in 98 while in 8th grade and started 'going together'. The girl's mother is a bipolar, welfare dependent, hypochondriac who lived her life half doped up on phsych meds and bragged about being in a mental hospital and about living in a car with her daughter for a year.

In the spring of 99, I started feeling like something wasn't right. My ex kept telling me he thought I was going crazy. He even would ask my kids if they thought I was. In June, I finally asked him if he was 'seeing' my son's girlfriend's mother. He, of course, went ballistic which told me I'd hit the nail on the head.

He had the balls or lack of to think I'd let him have a 'mistress' on the side like I was so desparate to keep him around. Guess he figured it would be no different then the shyt he used to pull. I found that he'd funneled about $10K to her over a few months. Packed him a bag, told him to come get it, and changed the locks. He decided that our marriage 'deserved' another try.. rather I guess she decided. So after 3 weeks I let him back for an attempt at fixing things. Went to counseling for a few sessions together..only after all was said and done to be told by the counselor that he was the most immature, self-serving 40+ year old man she'd ever seen.

Needless to say I wouldn't let my son continue to see the girl anymore. It stung him bad for a while but seeing how she is now, it was for the best.

He spent every penny he had when we split so he couldn't afford an attorney and wanted me to give him more money so he could so he couldn't force me to have my business valuated. Property settlement ended up with me paying him $250K (after taxes) over 4 years, and he got the boat worth $150K while I got the loan of $85K. If they'd valued my business it could have been several million.

He lives way beyond any means a person living on someone else's money for the short term should. She's helping him spend the money very well.

He called me last week wanting to sell the boat. If and when he ever finds a buyer he thought I'd just shell out the loan balance overnight.

One saving grace, he's not the father of my two kids so I don't have to deal with him other then writing a check each month and when he calls about wanting something.

Doubt I'll ever get married again. Since then it seems like all the guys I've dated get way to comfortable with the funds way too fast. They end up being told it's a two way street or a dead end.

LoL okay so it wasn't quick.. but it's dirty.

He can kiss my

Hey PK...I was wondering if you...like...wanted to like go out to dinner sometime?

Just kidding...money does really funny stuff to a lot of people doesn't it?

lol @ PK, for sure it wasn't quick, but it was dirty and interesting. Many people pay for the sins of others and whatever they try to do they always find them in their road again. I don't have the right to comment since it's a personal situation, but as you said "One saving grace, he's not the father of my two kids so I don't have to deal with him other then writing a check each month and when he calls about wanting something. " Which means things are not that bad i guess

quiet, your situation here would be kind of unique since unless you're married with someone, you can't request part of his property. I'm not that familiar with the states laws, but I think she won't have any luck on her attempt. In your case I would give show her with my attitude that there's not the slighest possibility to achive something like that. If it doesn't work then you know

Kitty, most of my well paid freinds have been taken by a scandalous woman for upwards of $120,000 a month. I always said these women aren't worth a thing... I wish they would have to go through the sneaky person dating, false pretense marriage, nasty give up half for nothing divorce!

After hearing your story I see it's just as bad on the other side. It doesn't happen over there often, but when it does OH BOY!

Sorry to hear about that deadbeat! From what I read about you, you are a helluva woman so he shouldn't matter much anyway!


Quiet, I've heard of longtime girlfreinds being able to claim things after a breakup but I've never known it to happen to anyone.

Now I'm scared.



Good luck bro! I'm pulling for you. Please let us know how it turns out.

damn quite
you should have talked to a lawyer before man

in what fucking world you live in that you trust somebody

when im going to marry my wife is not going to get anything when we should get divorced...
WHY THE FUCK SHOULD SHE

Nice story PK

I've got my own brand of hell with an ex and it's all about the money too.

Quiet: I don't know about the common law marriage stuff up in Canada, but here in the states it varies depending on which state you're in but it's just as binding as a "real" marriage if you've been together long enough. If you can pay her off with a lump sum that works out for you, I'd do it. Fucking divorce court sucks and if they get you to show your assets etc., you will get fucked up the ass...dry...with sandpaper. That's the way it is here in states. A good friend of mine just settled for $1,000,000 and $5,000 a month...out of court...and he was happy about it. The girl's lawyer made her sign a paper saying she was aware that he (her lawyer) didn't like the terms of the settlement and was advising her against it
I feel for you...have you seen the 2002 S2K? Now available in ALL red interior

PK, can you wait til there is two months left and then refinance the whole thing for another 5 - 10 years?

"guess i should have taken labret's advice."

And that would be........to stick with guys???

thanks for sharing PK

your decision to drop that deadbeat golddigger was definately the best you could ever make and although the outcome has a lingering financial cost, i'm sure your elevated peace-of-mind and reclaimed self-worth has far surpassed the lost coinage

you've earned the respect of many people in this industry for your hard work, ingenuity, frankness and compassion and to know that you maintained that level of excellence while battling those personal demons, makes you a very special person in my eyes

so on a final note, your ex can kiss my ass too


just for being such a fuckin' dickhead to you

Your story would make an interesting movie. The drawback to making money is you're never sure what people are interested in you for, but you can't give up hope that you'll meet someone genuine.

And your traffic is wonderful.

did she move out and do you know where she lives?
It would really be a shame if you accidentally dumped a whole jar of termites inside one of the walls of her house.

Hindsight is 20/20.

NEVER EVER trust a woman. They are fucking worthless and to invest time and money into one is only slitting your own throat slowly.

If she is not your wife I would not be paying her jack shit!

As a matter of fact with the money you are making, my ass would be on a plane out of the country leaving her flat broke and on her ass.

If thats not do-able, and she does have a lawyer, move everything offshore and drag it on for a few years.

If all else fails, you could take her on a camping trip and have a "hunting accident".

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL

My condolances Quiet

Canada has some of the most "progressive" laws relating to common law relationships in the world.

Basically if you are co-habitating for 6 months you are married under the law. You can fight it in court, but the judges here are
generally biased towards the women and you may end up paying alimony forever. Even a pre-nup is not always applicable in Canada...your spouse can go before the court and say that it is unreasonable and the court may "re-interpret" the document.

When I got engaged my lawyer advised me to not even have the ring engraved with my name...or even to be in a photo together.

A lump sum payment and a count of your remaining blessings may be in order.

BTW are you in West Van? I always hear talk about some big shot webmaster up there :c)

Leave it to the fucking Canadians.

That is brilliant. I never knew that. I love lawyers.

I'd think the Canadian property laws however progressive wouldn't be much different than our divorce laws at worst. I do know that if you can prove you had something going into a marriage a spouse isn't entitled to it in a divorce or if something was specifically given to you, it's yours.

Examples would be if I'd been running a business at a certain income level before getting married. None of my money problems with my ex would have meant a thing in the courts if I'd not started the biz while we were married. It would of been mine going in and mine coming out. Same thing with a home or other property. If it was yours going in, it's normally yours coming out.

You have to be living together for 3 years to be considered common law spouses (unless a baby is born). Common law does recognize some spousel support obligations but not nearly as much as lawfully married spouses (no 50/50 split on divorce).

The Family Law Act of 1986 does not apply, I suggest you get a better lawyer.

PK, we had that in Canada until 1986. Before it was only "family assets" now it's "net family property" which is pretty much everything.

I am hoping Bush announces the US plans for occupying Canada tonight so we can set things right for all you poor Canadians.
