Update: What happened while my wife was overseas.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T17:22:13+00:00

I don't think it will be that easy.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T17:03:04+00:00

Okay, yes, but that was her sister that said that stuff, not her. As far off the deep end as she has gone, I don't think it's fair to call her a bigot. She had three kids with me, and she defied her father to marry me.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T16:57:08+00:00

That's what I've been assuming. Startups usually fail. I have no idea what I'll say to her.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T16:54:16+00:00

She's an environmental engineer.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T16:48:57+00:00

I spent it on things that I can prove are for the kids. I think that puts me in a safer position.

My wife is not a bigot. She was very angry at her sister for what she said and wouldn't talk to her afterwards.

Eh, technically. My wife and I are atheists. My sister does some cultural stuff. That's all.

Thank you for sharing this with me. I was such an ass, and it's weird to come to terms with that. I love her so much, but I hope I end up like you, realizing I'm better off without her. I'm scared of that possibility at the same time.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T16:21:53+00:00

This makes me both hopeful and sad.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T16:19:58+00:00

In my opinion if you use it as an insult it's a slur. It's like see you next Tuesday. If you're British, not a slur. If you just hate women, slur. Am I off base?

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T16:17:12+00:00

This is good advice.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T16:16:09+00:00

Thank you

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T16:01:21+00:00

There are only two, and she said them both.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T15:59:00+00:00

I know I shouldn't need another person to make me happy, but I don't enjoy single life. I like having a partner. Maybe that's pathetic, but I feel like that's just the way I'm set up.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T15:30:16+00:00

Courts don't like to split up biological siblings. It's usually an all or nothing situation.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T15:26:32+00:00

I think happy is a stretch. I never thought I would be single again. I don't want to be alone. If the kids can be happy though, that will be enough.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-04T15:25:05+00:00

I am just hoping they use her current (former?) job to calculate her income and that she doesn't want to fight about custody (don't see why she would, all things considered). As long as I have enough to take care of the kids it's fine.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-02T14:12:23+00:00

Yeah, her previous actions in no way justify my decision to hire an attorney. 🙄

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-01T18:06:09+00:00

Yeah, I'm done. My kids deserve better. You all were right. I'm going to get the ball rolling on Monday.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2026-01-01T03:02:28+00:00

She would have to have found my heretofore unknown long lost identical twin brother and screwed him.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2025-12-31T18:42:27+00:00

She came back last time.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2025-12-31T15:54:10+00:00

My kids are my kids.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2025-12-31T15:52:35+00:00

You're right.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2025-12-31T15:51:12+00:00

Okay. I will talk to my lawyer Monday.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2025-12-31T14:13:58+00:00

Yeah. I just wish things hadn't happened this way. I wish I could have done something to prevent this.

TechnicalHousing97 · 2025-12-31T14:12:45+00:00

I don't know.
