General Education Diploma And it is viewed and accepted by most employers as a standard high school diploma. Just a little piece of useless knowledge for ya!

    After 10 days, a woman who I just started dating lost interest in me. I failed 3 shit tests on Wednesday arvo. I am single again. Thank God!
    Test 1) She wanted me to buy a horse race ticket of a specific horse and race. She stated that WE could use the winnings for a hotel room in Auckland. We argued 3 times about this. I do not bet.
    Test 2) Her car is impounded at the panel beater. She asked how could WE solve that. I said nope!
    Test 3) She wanted me to drive to Auckland on Sunday and Monday which is a long weekend and be her taxi. Auckland is a four hour drive each way from home. I said nope!
    I cried in my beer for 2 seconds and finally got over her.

  • @jcnlaw
    @jcnlaw 5 років тому +201

    Well known Pennsylvania divorce and family law attorney here. This story is not unusual. (Frankly, sometimes the mother is the sane one and the father has serious mental health issues. Same-sex couples can and do also face similar issues).
    While this is NOT legal advice, here are a few key takeaways from this informative video that you may wish to consider:
    a) There is an old saying: "The smart man learns from his mistakes, the wiser man learns from the mistakes of others". In this day and age with all of the marriage, relationship and intersexual dynamic information available, there is almost no reason to find yourself in this situation, especially if there are red flags in the beginning. Every case is different. However, having "oneitis" often comes into play in these risky scenarios. Do not ignore red flags. Do not act against your better judgment.
    b) Courts, divorce, and child custody laws can and do vary widely from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Speak to an experienced family law attorney in your jurisdiction BEFORE you live together, BEFORE you propose, BEFORE you order wedding invitations, and BEFORE anyone pays any non-refundable deposits for a wedding. Know your rights and responsibilities BEFOREHAND, in the unfortunate (but common) event that your marriage becomes non-functioning.
    c) People can and do change over time. Even if you could not see any red flags going into a marriage, talk to an experienced family law attorney in your jurisdiction about a prenup (well before the wedding invitations are ordered). Properly done, and depending upon the jurisdiction, a valid prenup may be able to save a ton of time and money in the divorce process.
    These comments are NOT legal advice and I am NOT your attorney. Only an attorney licensed in your jurisdiction with whom you have established an attorney-client relationship can give you legal advice.

    • @mikesuccess
      @mikesuccess 5 років тому +26

      Jonathan, You probably have the most knowledge of why marriages fail. Continue to comment on your experience. I went through 20 years of marriage, 3 teenage kids and paid enough to by a new Porsche which got me 50/50 custody, NO ALIMONY and division of assets 50/50. She worked in a solid field and I had put a significant amount in savings, etc. There was no debt and kids were on competitive teams, straight A's and church going. I got the best and baddest attorney I could find and it was well worth it. I saved me over $1.9 million yes due to potential 20 years of alimony! Guys get the fact that the woman I fell in love turned into the biggest nightmare. Never again will i enter into a state relationship, have kids (I'm snipped) or co-habitate.

      eclipseNF no you’re not. Find a woman that will have your children but doesn’t want to get married. At least the damage in most cases is limited to child support vs having all of your assets at risk. Be careful though in some jurisdictions if they live with you they can go after alimony, even though common law marriage has gone by the wayside.

Mostly the process was frustrating and stressful due to her trying to get me to agree to ticky tacky little shit: my being at the DMV with her to remove my name from her car title, my paying for lost wages so she can go to the SS office for a name change, and the hilarious attempt to get me to pay for her counseling post divorce, etc. As soon as she floated the "I think I want a divorce" balloon without a hint of a problem or a willingness to go to marriage counseling, I cut off all access to my financial information, called the lawyer, and told her that the lawyer was working on an order of separate maintenance (due to the recovery period of the transplant). My divorce was financially cheap and a pro forma process precisely because I thought ahead and sold the prenup as a means to protect both of us. That she brought up meaningless stuff was simply a distraction to a far important process, but the actual divorce consisted of my exchange e-mails with the associate handling my case (the partner said the prenup made my case easy so he would only work on it if the associate needed his assistance).
      In my experience, blanket statement like yours are of little use in the real world because there are always ways to protect oneself. The attorney below provides a solid roadmap to anyone who is considering marriage, but also is not naïve to the realities of the divorce machine.

      I assume no kids? Because very few states will enforce a prenuptial agreement, if it is seen as less than optimal for the children.

That and I walked around slower than my grandfather so during that period I was pretty helpless. As you said, kids tends to result in prenups being moved to the side if not outright ignored.

    Coming from a single mother and having to deal with my old lady’s anger fits towards me and my older brother when she would get intoxicated, the usual "you are acting just like your father" line, became a routine growing up....
    20 years later I came across this young woman with daddy issues, we've met at church, funny thing is, the pastor even came to me to warned me about her and her difficult childhood growing up
    Guys, the way I perceived her at the time, and this is important, to me she was your typical damsel in distress and I had to save her. Looking back, it had a lot to do with my other head doing all the talking.
    I now have identical twins, recently diagnosed with spectrum autism. I haven't been able to see them in 10 months because she won't let me see them, per divorce decree, she created these lies about me not being able to spend time with them, I had to work two jobs to make sure they had their medical and a roof to come home to, because of said complaints, this feminine, hippie judge gave her 75% custody.
    These videos helped a ton.

      I'm a bit late to the party, but your comment was very much, my story. My pastor refused to marry us. She could make you feel so loved(when it suited her), I came to realise, many years later, that I was in love with a facade she'd created, in the first 6mths of our relationship and continually made excuses for her increasingly bad behaviours. Mine ended bitterly despite my efforts. I wish I had this mentoring in my teens. I hope your finding yourself, increasingly each day and becoming stronger and more comfortable in who you really are. Keep fighting to increase access to your children, don't give up. Prioritise your hobbies and exercise daily. I can't emphasise enough how much exercise improves your happiness, resilience and confidence. Keep your chin up, life gets better (if you don't let her back in your life) and just do you.

( no surprise ) changed the marriage laws in 2013 to extremely benefit women. You no longer need to live together here to be considered living in a “marriage-like” relationship giving the woman full claim to marriage status. Long story short, I was extorted by the legal process and had to pay her. After smoke cleared I paid out about $150000. And we DID NOT LIVE TOGETHER. B.C. - fucked Up!!

Watch carefully, document any problems you see. If the situation is bad enough you might be able to do something, but emotional abuse of the children is hard to prove.
    Divorce is a long game. Try to be the best Dad you can, and when the kids are old enough (12 or older) they may come to you to get away from her. Kids are smart, and they will usually be able to figure out if she's spouting BS about you.

    Hey Richard, recently found this channel and think the content is brilliant and you're providing an invaluable and much needed service to men in need of this fantastic advice. I'm single by choice but not against a relationship with a women so find your content very insightful and beneficial to absorb whilst single in case I do choose to engage in a relationship. With all that positive feedback in mind, just wanted to respectfully suggest you don't advise men to stop taking anti-depressants that a Doctor has obviously prescribed to them. You mentioned in a video that you had thoughts of suicide at one point so assuming you may have possibly been on anti-depressants and also assuming based on your advice that they were not beneficial for you. If that's the case then I just think it's risky to suggest other men not use because of your isolated experience. It can sometimes take trialling of several anti-depressants to land on one that is effective for the user because the first/second/third drug may have been ineffective and even worse may have made him feel worse. And then if you've not been on antidepressant ants I don't see how you can advise men against them without a medical background/training. Just thought I'd mention as for some men, the effective use of anti-depressants could be what's keeping them from self harm so even litigiously it would be dangerous advice to be giving. Hope you didn't mind this comment and look forward to consuming the awesome future content I hope you keep producing
