broken promises


Kentucky.

Hi,
I would like to know if anyone has ever sued their spouse for broken promises or having their life completely change because of divorce. I was my husband's 5th wife(should have paid more attention to this information,) and you would think that after that many marriages...he might have learned a thing or two. This divorvce came out of no where, or at least on my part and had completely destroyed my life. I have lost my job, because I completely let this divorce comsume my life. We continue to share the family home, which makes the whole situation harder to handle. We have had the final hearing and more or less I got the short end of the stick, because I thought that if maybe he saw that I did not want anything, he would see how much I cared****************************.STUPID...right.
But, if someone repeately reassured you during the marriage that this would never happen and then they do it anyway...Is that just life or has anyone ever held someone accoutable for these promises?

Thanks

How many times do you have to walk into a brick wall to not only admit it hurts....but to STOP doing it????


Your only recourse is in the divorce agreement. That's where you ask for justice and relief. You needed professional help with this divorce (still living with the him....who's the bigger idiot?), but more you need professional help to deal with this self flagellation.

Geez, even I am becoming a cynic reading this kind of stuff. Get away from this loser and get some help so you can deal with your own life and your future. If you built a viable, productive life before this emotional parasite attached himself to you, then you can do it again.

Yes, it's all been unfair. Yes, you made mistakes. NOW....stop making them and get on with your life. You have no other choice!

broken promises

Okay, I understand what everyone is trying to say. I understand I need to get on with my life.....it is just hard. Broken hearts do not heal overnight.
Guess I need to come out of this fairy world and accept this divorce. I guess I can feel good about giving everyone a laugh.

In divorce, there is no column for pain and suffering. If that were the case, my x would never be able to pay off his debt to me.

Dear, EVERY marriage begins with promises. Promising to Love, Honor and Cherish, among other things, until DEATH do you part. So what divorce would NOT involve broken promises? Divorce and broken promises are usually a package.

And, c'mon, when you decided to become number FIVE, you must have had some clue this could very well be a pattern in his life?

My response:

This is exactly why this writer's post made it to, and was entered in, the "Most Stupid Post" contest. I just hope she read the contest rules.

I have no idea how he narrows the list down to so few!!!

My favorite so far is the gal who was married for about a minute or so, so to speak, and wanted to know how much alimony she could get.
