Posted: 9/12/2007 1:59:37 PM | | Oh! I forgot to mention all the second-hand crap (from various people) that he insisted on bringing home cuz he was "going to do something with it some day." This is big stuff, made of metal. I can't even budge it. Some of that sh** is still sitting in my yard and creating mowing obstacles. Sometimes we get still get into sniping matches about when he is going to come get it. Apparently the answer is "never." | |

Like mother tucker - he didn't want much of anything. I had a huge garage sale to help cover the expenses that he was court ordered to pay but didn't (I did without many utilities for several weeks and the house was in foreclosure). Little did I know that at the time he'd bought a $350k house and was busy paying for his newly acquired family. Parasites are so predictable!
It was a great learning experience! | |

Posted: 9/13/2007 4:30:00 PM | The generator for my horse trailer. He bought it for me because I do so much camping with horses and there are lots of places I go where there are no electric hookups. It hadn't even been taken out of the box yet. He insisted on being the one to keep it.
fine, whatever. | |

Posted: 9/15/2007 6:20:12 AM | we agreed on most everything except for the kids baby box containing treasures of memories ~~ I gave up the vinal records as well, even though some were from my childhood. The dog we shared for awhile, then he stopped coming to get her.
I was actually happy to get the house cleaned out - threw away my "garder", "the little people from the top of the weeding cake.... hummm... the stuff from our honeymoon went in the trash as well. Let's see no fighting over it - as it was gone! | |

Posted: 9/16/2007 7:18:29 PM | It came down to 2 clocks. One was a grandfather clock that we bought in 1981. It's a beautiful clock, with a cherry cabinet and burl ash trim. It stands about 7 feet tall. I've always wanted a grandfather clock since I was real little. The other clock was a cuckoo clock, my parents had given to me when one of their friends had passed.
We're going through the divorce and splitting up the goods came into question. There really wasn't much I cared for, except the clocks. Ex hubby told me, it was one or the other, but not both. I told him the only way he'd get the grandfather clock was to be buried in it. I let him have the cuckoo clock. God, that really ticked me off during the time.
Now I look back at it and chuckle. Who knows what happened to the cuckoo clock when he passed on 12 years ago. The grandfather clock? It's in my entry way and looks awesome! | |

Posted: 9/16/2007 8:27:04 PM | | We fought over the house phone number (I kept the house and the kids that lived there), but he was determined that we not keep that number. In a grand gesture I took the high road and ceded the phone number, but got it back after one year because the a$$hole never used it. | |

Posted: 9/20/2007 6:56:56 PM | I never fought over one single thing, but this does remind me of a moment during my divorce that just struck me as totally strange. As I was going through the process of packing my stuff and leaving, and trying to find a new place, I really had a lot on my plate on every level.
So one night close to the time of departure, we're sitting together on the sofa, and not really saying much to each other.
We had a new large TV, I think 32 inch, given to the both of us by her mother recently. She was essentially the only person that watched it, as I was not really a fan of most TV. So, as we are sitting there, she suddenly looks over at me and says " I hope you're not planning on taking the TV."
I went " Did I ever even ask to ? I don't even watch it. "
"Just mentioning it..." 
I'd recently bought a brand new stereo VCR, and I told her to keep it.  | |

Posted: 9/20/2007 7:25:34 PM | The music CDs. When he asked for some of them back, or at least a copy, I asked, "You mean the ones that you always threatened to throw out of your window and run over whenever I played them in your car?"
His face turned bright red. Both lawyers lost it at the same time and the laughter broke up a lot of tension. Sorry, it had to be done... | |

We fought because he would not take anything at all and I didn't want it all......I ended up selling a lot of stuff cause he would not take it.
Oh please tell me you didn't split the money with him? | |

Posted: 9/20/2007 8:01:11 PM | | Well, I didn't really fight with the ex over much. I wanted the Harley, but he convinced the lawyers that since I gave it to him as a gift, he should get to keep it. (But he failed to mention that he took the ring he gave me for an anniversary gift. ) AND he DID take my vibrator!! It was worth it all to be rid of HIM. | |

Posted: 9/21/2007 12:42:59 PM | I kicked my ex out for having a girlfriend. Well, he and his "girlfriend" were setting up house together and it seems they wanted all my stuff. First, they both call me and said they are going to bring a truck over and back it up and pack up my entire house - everything from my clothes, to all my furniture, etc. - THEY WANTED EVERYTHING
hmmmm.... I must have sounded like the devil himself when I replied "come on over" They never came.
So about three weeks later the ex calls and said he never got a chance to look at our silverware and to split it. I replied "I bought the forks, etc. at the dollar store for $1.00 for a set of three" He said "I still want half"
So, I split my dollar store silverware and put it on the porch for him to pick up !! | |

He said he would always be in/a part of my life.........I told him no he was not...
Teresa14 if you and him had kids together and he stayed in their lives, I'm afraid he will never go away because there will be weddings, grandkids and he might be there lurking | |

Posted: 9/21/2007 4:36:34 PM | I don't know if you'd call it silly because it didn't seem that way to me, but I broke up with a woman once because of a movie. The name of the movie was "The Full Monty."
I have to explain... you see we had become acquainted on-line and had never actually met. I had asked repeatedly to have a picture of her face (she had several of mine). She would always find some excuse not to share that with me. I knew her quite well from mail and conversations on the phone (she was in another country) and had told her that I really didn't care if she was a 300 pound mud wrestler, I just wanted to see what she looked like. I thought it was a reasonable request being as I have (as example) pictures here of total strangers. Even guys I communicate with, who are husbands of friends on the internet, will show me what they look like, etc.
We got into the discussion about the movie (she loved it) and I remarked that I didn't even find it all that entertaining to watch women taking their clothes off, so why would I want to enjoy watching men do it?
The final fight was that she thought I was being weird for not being open enough to enjoy the movie and I thought she was weird for wanting me to enjoy such a movie yet not be able to even know what her face actually looked like.
Obviously there were other things that led to that fight but that was the deal breaker. :) | |

Posted: 9/22/2007 10:50:27 AM | We fought over a butcher knife we both liked to use to chop. It irked me since he used a balanced cleaver for most things......
I had him keep the formal living room furniture and brass lamps etc, because my roomates children would have ruined them. So I felt as if he were being greedy. I laugh about it today, with a little embarassment......
Like many of the posts I just read, the argument wasn't really about the object at all, it was about the balance of power/selfishness in the relationship. | |

Posted: 9/22/2007 10:59:11 AM | my silliest thing was he said I never let him do anything....I said like what he said like let me smoke....ok so I wouldn't let him kill himself...poor baby...but 7 years later all his teeth have fallen out because of smoking....cigarettes and pot....a****hole should have let him smoke the whole 21 years...couldn't collected the insurance instead of paying $100 grand to get rid of the idiot

Posted: 9/22/2007 11:08:26 AM | Ok, this was something that happened in a dating relationship, not a marriage. When we 1st got together, I had a gold necklace that I had bought myself b4 I ever met him. I loved it & wore it all the time. One time, after sex, we took a shower together & he kept trying to tickle me in the shower & grabbed at my neck & BROKE the chain.
He never offered to replace or repair it. At the time I was disappointed, but I figured that maybe a relationship w/ him was worth more than a material possession, especially since he did NOT do it on purpose.
We kept seeing eachother & things went downhill. At the end he claimed that I dented his electric blanket & it wasn't working properly. I did NOT break or dent his electric blanket on purpose either. When he brought it up, I did NOT offer to replace it, as that is NOT what he did w/ my necklace. I figured fair is fair.
I know, it's tit for tat, but I felt in many other ways, I gave more in the relationship. we lived 45 miles apart & I was the one who ended up driving out to his house more often. When he came to my house, I always had plenty of food around, & was a good hostess, geared things around him. It was not reciprocated. My bad!
My fault was accepting less than I should have. I am taking a break from relationships now. Time to work on me & learn to make better choices in friends & a lover. | |

Posted: 9/23/2007 2:12:28 AM | My ex & I had a very easy split. We agreed on pretty much everything and are friends to this day even though he's remarried.
BUT once when we were still together, we were both tired and in bad moods, there was an issue as to whether we had needle-nosed pliers. I was sue we did. and he said we didn't. It turned out the toolbox was in the car down in the garage, and for some reason neither of us felt like going down there to prove our point(s). We went to bed mad but woke up laughung over the absurdity of the night before! | |
