It sounds like you dodged a serious bullet there. I don't know many people who started their marriages with huge debt who are out of debt or living happily at this point. Most of them are divorced. The smart ones kept enough paperwork to prove their spouses came into the marriage with debt, so they should not be held jointly responsible for it.
Yeah well, according to the women I meet, it just makes me a selfish horrible lazy asshole.
Almost every serious relationship I have had has ended because I was unwilling to pay off debt for my girlfriend. And they also all lied about it and pretended they had no debt. But in their minds, I was the bad person in the relationship...
But true that I am not stupid enough to have married any of them, or gotten them pregnant. One of them tried to get pregnant to entrap me, that was fun! Went off her birth control without telling me and then confessed one night when she was drunk.
And now I meet a lot of ladies who have like 10 million in the bank who think I'm also a lazy piece of shit because I can't afford to drop 25K on a weekend getaway like they can. But I guess they aren't in debt, so progress?
either way I continue to have my mind blown how awful and entitled people are when it comes to relationships and naively cling to my idea that we're supposed to be equal partners who improve each others lives... but it seems that is not a popular mindset these days.
But if we're equal then I don't have control, and I'm not winning. Do you not understand society?
Hey Kelly, how are you doing? Glad you haven't changed!
You've only got one of those, huh?
I don't repeat mistakes. I just make new ones!
Coward! Dilettante!
