Louis, this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I have enough friends. But now I have significantly less guilt.

I meant actual friendship, for what it's worth. I couldn't handle dating someone who was separated, either. I think you did what you needed to do, and did it well.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Dana!
Spent the weekend at the Washington Folk Festival. Yes, even though it rained a lot Sunday we were there.(All the venues were covered)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Did anyone mention that in some states to get a divorce you have to be separated for a year (NY)? I don't think California is one of those, just pointing out that being separated does not mean that someone is not doing all they can to end the marriage.

Yeah, that part I'm good with. Relieved.
I've been neglecting friends who need me, though. (head issues that need to clear up, because I'm ragey and mean and shouldn't be allowed near humans)
Visiting the babies was very calming and joyful, though. They're just working so hard at the thriving thing. It's hard not to get caught up in that energy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because you might change your mind? What's the rationale behind making that official?

Most states want marriages to be hard to end, because they are in the public interest. States like Nevada have no-fault divorces, and that's where people go to get "quickie divorces."
ET fix mistake about no-fault divorces.

Their current res is West Virginia, bon.
I like the guy, genuinely enough. Weirdly, part of it is how much respect goes into talking about his wife. They were married for 13 years, her dream job is in WV, his is here. They tried for a long time before they just sort of petered out. So there isn't any weird animosity, no cheating, no huge fights...the marraige just sort of passed away. So there's a mournful quality to him, not anger.
Of course, I only hear his perspective. It's hard to not believe it, though, when he speaks highly of her and misses her. It seems terribly sad, to me.
