His wife had left him, moved way out of state, and met some new guy who became her live-in boyfriend. Get this: the ex-wife refused to marry the live-in bf because she wanted to keep the alimony spigot open. Years later, she\u2019s still unmarried, still boffing the bf, and still collecting alimony from the ex-hubby beta uncle, who, by all accounts, is a stand-up guy that everyone (except, apparently, his ex-wife) really likes and admires. He doesn\u2019t know where the money goes because the kids are with him most of the time. He thinks most of it funds his ex\u2019s vacations with her lover.<\/p>\n<p>The problem with America\u2019s anti-male marriage and divorce industrial complex is that it allows women\u2019s normally inhibited cuntery \u2014 when just and fair, and some might say patriarchal, rules constrain their choices \u2014 to effloresce beyond the bounds necessary to maintain a healthy, functioning society. A good rule of thumb: if a woman thinks she can get away with sticking the shiv in a beta to redound to her personal advantage, she will.<\/p>\n<p>There is no feminist in the world who can twist her hamster logic enough to convince anyone worth convincing that legally forcing a man to pay alimony to an ex-wife who refuses to remarry so that the alimony gravy train keeps riding is even remotely within the universe of fairness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Chateau: A girl pal was telling me about the uncle of one of her friends.
