So she hopped the 3:10 to Yuma?

So, I decide to take her out to the Loxahachee Wildlife Preserve...

/scrambles for a pen and paper

Better yet, take her out to Tate's Creek Bridge.

I always mix up Elmore Leonard and James Ellroy when I hear their names.

Who gets divorced at 86? You already put up with her shiat for how long? Why not take it to the grave.

Well, who gets married at 68?

It will be the Cadillac of divorces.

The proper Fark question is: Who wants to have sex with sixty-eight year olds? That allows for more jokes.

fark you, farkball

My dad's sister divorced her husband when she was in her 70's. After she'd put up with his numerous affairs and had dealt with the death of their only child, she just got a notion to get rid of him.

She also made him Ex Lax brownies to take on a "river expedition" that was in fact, him taking his girlfriend camping.

Whenever I heard that people I knew were divorcing, I never knew whether to offer condolences or congratulations.

And now *I'm* getting divorced. I was all set to stick it out for the rest of our lives, carving out some private little interior landscape where I could withdraw to, but she thinks otherwise.

Evidently I don't have any right to poke my nose into the family finances after dumping it in her lap years ago, and my complaining about FIFTYTHREE farkING OVERDRAFT CHARGES AND COUNTING IN THE LAST FIVE MONTHS AT $31 A POP was crossing the line. Seriously, all those iTunes purchases AT $32+ PER SONG HAD BETTER HAVE BEEN THE BEST farkING SONGS THE WORLD'S EVER HEARD at those prices.

I'm thinking life just might be better on my own, maybe I ought to thank her for doing what I didn't have the guts to do myself.

So if all y'all's partners have made your journey through life a lot easier and more joyful and rewarding, you're very fortunate. Not everyone gets a good one. Hold him or her an extra long time next time you're together and thank them. You have something precious and special...

So... do you want condolences or congratulations?


Semi-serious question is only semi-serious.

Englebert Slaptyback:


'Best wishes' are appropriate, and gratefully accepted.

My feelings are mixed and complicated, which I imagine is common and perfectly natural. There's a little bit of grieving over the life I might have had with partner who'd been a better match, and trepidation over how she'll be handling my sons' issues and her own finances after I'm out of the household. (My daughter will be fine.)

But then there's the elation of a geezer set free after a couple decades of living in a strait-jacket.

(After that last sentence I should point out I've already made up my mind I'm not going to turn into one of those creepy old dudes who chases 20 year olds. Don't know for certain, but I bet the world has too many of those already. Anyway I crave solitude more than anything, right now.)

Chinchillazilla: Wai, wait, wait. What songs are $32 on iTunes?

All of them, when there's a negative balance in your checking account and you have "overdraft protection".

My wife must think I have a fetish for indigents, because she seems to make it a point to spend all of our money.

madgonad: Well, who gets married at 68?

Elmore Leonard, apparently. Who knew?

Did he put on his leather gloves before he clocked her?

Then best wishes and the best of luck to you. (seriously)

Indeed.

I totally read that as sixty eight-year-olds. :S

Why is divorce so expensive?

Because it's worth it.

/ now I have a high maintenance girlfriend. It's a whole lot cheaper

Tell me more of these tests. I'd like specifics.
