10 reasons I hate my EX 

Jams- your #5 made me laugh. Thanks, I don't laugh much these days.

I have a lot of those same feelings. My ex told me that the courts wouldn't ask me to pay an amount of child support that would make it hard for me to survive, financially. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After I pay the bills I inherited and the child support... ( I don't deny I need to support my children, I want to)  I have $300-$400 left at the end of the month to pay rent, utilities, food, prescriptions, and a lot of these required a deposit to get it started. She still lives in the house that "I" built, on the property "I" maintained and worked so hard to keep up. It's 4500 sq ft home. Her wanting to stay there and pay for it makes it more neccesary, in her mind, that I pay that amount of child support. If I don't and they garnish my wages, what will I have left. I'd have to work 50 hours per week (40hrs reg time and 10 hours @ time and a half) to afford it. My company doesn't always let us work O/T. I shouldn't have to work more than 40 hrs anyway. I need to spend time with my kids too. I hate her for a lot of things too. She was cheating on me (after 12 yrs) with an ex boyfriend. I found out at work that she was having me served. Her Ex bf works where I do. She told him she was divorcing me and exactly how I was going to be served. He told others at work about his new conquest and about how it would all unfold. One of the people he told came straight to me. Talk about embarrassing and humiliating. I couldn't work the rest of the day. I was in shock. I had no idea it was coming. YIP, I hate her for that. I hate him too! Anyway, I'm moving on. I am over her and I am happier than I've been in years. I didn't think I would ever feel this way but I do! Here's a good one to believe in if you're interested.

The financial crisis is an understatement....I literally had 7 bucks to put in my tank this morning to get to work. Now Im broke! No credit cards either! Got a few days until payday, but that's gone already too!

And childless, I LOVE obscure 80s tv references. I am definitely an 80's girl, big bangs, lace gloves, baby doll socks with high heels, layered short skirts...*sigh* I LONG for the 80's again!

And Betabear...My mom is 50 and just finished with her 4th divorce a year ago! Now that's screwed!

Good one Jams:
I should have included many of yours on mine.
#1-TOTALLY
#2-SO RIGHT
#3-I'm already buried 10 feet under and going down....
#4-Are you sure we were not married to the same guy?
#5-He's gone now, so we just ARGUE over the phone now!
#6- Well, at least I don't have to clean up any of his new crap
#7-Its a disease these kind of men are afflicted with. F@#@$%$ers
#8-He can go eat Sh$% an die
#9-I am so sorry, that is so screwed!  I'm 47 and this is #2
#10-This is probably my worst guilt, The child is innocent.
    keep it coming.....feels good huh?

hey betabear, if it's any consolation, if i become single again i would be looking for a single mom around my age, preferably with 1-2 young children.

 

Some @25-year-olds work for me and i don't understand them and they don't understand me.  how are they going to get my obscure 80s TV references?  how often they stare at me blankly when i make a joke.

 

The real problem is meeting them, when and where do you meet somebody especially when your life is full up between work and kids.....

can i offer the opposite view?

I really enjoyed this post! First off, I am an artist too! Economy is so bad, people are worried about food and gas...not paintings for their living rooms!!! Can you say "starving artist"?

I'd like to do 10 things I hate about my spouse too!

1) He shouldn't have gotten married if he wanted to run around town like a slut!
2) He won't just leave amicably despite his wrong doings.
3) The financial crisis is beginning to weigh on me.
4) I'm sick of arguing with the same person over the same thing!
5) I am sick of his yelling like Saddam Hussein in the house all night and day!
6) I am sick of all his firehouse t-shirts laying all over the place!
7) I am sick of him blaming me for everything wrong!
8) I am sick of feeling paranoid and suspicious all the time!
9) I hate that because of him, I will be a 2x divorcee before I'm 31!
10) I am sad about what this is going to do to my daughter!
