I have been neglecting my blog for a while. the reason being that I have been helping my son defend himself against the predations of his ex wife.
Let me give you the background and invite your views.
He met her on a trip in a bus to China with 17 other people, she came from the UK.
Prior to meeting her he owned his house, about £180,000 worth, he had a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 and a Volkswagen Beetle Convertible. Plus shares and cash, rather nicely set up for a young man in his 20's.
She had nothing apart from credit card debts.
After returning from the trip to China she moved in, became pregnant and insisted on getting married. As I disapproved they went of to John o Groats and got married.
10 months later she walked out taking the child with her, having run up debts of £48,000.
She is now demanding, £125,000 so she can buy a house, plus £850 per month maintenance plus half his pension. The insane thing is that the UK Courts seem to agree this is fair.
The lessons to be learned from this story are:
don't get married
if you want a sexual partner go hire one its cheaper. Even assuming he did it once a day, which I doubt, he has effectively paid £400 a time, you could get real live and throbbing porn star for that.
young men you have been warned don't get married massdebate instead
tomorrow I will ponder the wonders of the US and the UK policy and actions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
