Semi-legal, non-politically-correct rant.

It has come to my attention that many women (even nowadays), caught up in planning their wedding, dinner, reception and making sure the carpet doesn't clash with the bridesmaids' dresses are (still) leaving everything else up their prospective grooms to sort out. The little things they simply could not be bothered with, like, oh; I don't know...the

its actually rather [not humorous] funny that it was the complete opposite in my parents' divorce. everything was in my dad's name, but because of the way my mom seperated from him (basically he left for work one day, came home and mom had her new boyfriend kick him out of the house) he had a nervous breakdown, which my mom took advantage of to get more then 3/4's of his weekly paycheck in alimony and child support, the house, full custody of my brother and sister (I wasn't worth the fight my mom said) with visitor rights for my dad and her and her boyfriend (which was my brother's therapist) practically had my father in debtor's prison by the time the divorce became legal (they seperated at 13 and were divorced when I was 16

nono its fine, pretty much whenever anyone asks about my parents I reply with a 'my mom screwed my dad over in divorce and doesn't want me' response.

thank you for the consideration though!
