Well if it's done, it's done.
My old lady started talking along the lines of "maybe we shouldn't have" the first week in, that wasn't very confidence inspiring. We separated for three months about three or four years in and that helped us appreciate each other so things got better after that. It's been uphill and down since with a second almost divorce five years ago. I do understand the stress and pain involved in it all.
Good luck man.
That 800 XC got my blood all kinds of warm. Every time my XB starts having fueling issues I start thinking about a Triumph, a triple is sounding freakin awesome right now.
I've also read and heard great things, and not so great things about the Ural. |

I can get a low mileage Sprint ST with full Givi for $3000ish. I'm not looking for a Buell replacement... more of a supplement. I'd love a Ural, but the cost, performance, reliability and parts availability are not a sure thing for me... |

reliability - they are tank stupid - dumb down - battlefield proven since WWII
Parts availability .... see above
Price.... the new ones are on parr with low end Harley's.... the older ones - mo betta pricin.
They can be had - if you look well enough. There was on two months ago fully equipped going for 5k.
But then again, I am partial. |

Don't get me wrong, I like the Urals. I've got a dog and think would be a perfect addition to the riding stable. I can't find a 2wd one used for much less than a new one. I like that it seems very used friendly for repairs, I am concerned about availability for parts. Up until last week, I didn't have a dealer within 150 miles. The new one is an honest 60 miles away. I've love a Gear Up for camping with the dog... |

Well.....things had been stinky in my previous marriage for several years. I have a friend who is a lawyer, and one of the things he told me right off the bat was this: the fact that I could prove that the vast majority of my income went to the maintenance of our family unit, and that any toys that I happened to own were mine before we were married, would help my situation in terms of any financial judgement. This, coupled with the fact that I had paid my ex's way through university, and that she had a very well paying career because of it, AND that her own personal spending habits (not to mention other personal habits) were akin to a drunken 18 year old rig hand.....well, let's say that when we DID start talking about divorce, she realized very quickly that an equitable division of assets was the ONLY way to pursue things.
There is never a happy way to end a marriage, but it does NOT have to destroy either partner financially....which is why it is critical to yes, talk about divorce. You wound up together to begin with, and while tracing the steps of what brought you together may not fix everything, it may at least put you both into a place where you can be civil, and objective about what is there to salvage.....and what things brought you to the point of discussing divorce. Keep in mind it is the termination of a legal contract first and foremost. Do your best to keep all the personal and emotional issues separate from that, even if your counterpart is unwilling to do so.
I hope the best for you. Hopefully, 'talking' about the situation can bring some perspective to the relationship.....perhaps the stresses placed on both of you originate elsewhere. Maybe there are ways to make it work better by changing details of the way you interact.....it could be something as simple as spending less time together or examining the things you do when you ARE together. Good luck. |

Taking it as a last option measure, it just seems to me that both parties can come out much better keeping lawyers out of it. Try to agree that as soon as one side lawyers up, so will the other. Both lawyers will make out well. The lawyers take comes from both parties. If you can agree to be reasonable you can both come out better off, and I would think do less emotional damage to each other. Of course it gets much more difficult when kids are involved.
I have a friend who's sister managed to not only destroy the family in her immediate household, but destroyed her relationship with the rest of her family and most of her friends. Her kids, who are now 17 and 19 do everything they can to avoid seeing her now. Don't be this person. |
