Posted: 9/24/2007 8:18:26 AM | | The silliest thing we fought over was the computer I was pressured to sell, he bought a new one while we were together. Let alone I had none of my own to play with. When we split he took his computer with him, leaving me without one after forcing me to sell my old one. So, I made him replace my old computer with a new one and he's paying on it. He decided to give it to me for my birthday and christmas, two in one. So, I agreed on it. And, here during the separation til our divorce he was bitter over the new computer payments, said I should help pay on it. Let along he broke the agreement in the gift giving thing. See he confused the heck outta me and I worked hard to make him pay for forcing me to sell my old computer over the one he took with him. Which he had no right doing in the first place. I lost alot while I was married to him, stuff were replaced and some were never replaced at all. It really hurt big time, things I treasured over the years. | |

Posted: 9/24/2007 5:32:25 PM | We battled over pictures of the kids, family, us, etc. Even though I was the one that had snapped 99% of them, he knew I wanted them so he wasn't budging. One day, when I knew he would be at work........I drove over to his house, stood on a picnic table, climbed through the dining room window, and took all of the pictures. Seperated them, and put all of him, his family, him with the kids, in a nice plastic container, and dropped them off on his porch. He has never mentioned the "break in". | |

Posted: 9/24/2007 8:31:41 PM | OMG this brings back some funny memories how silly we get when we go through a split. Was it just me but we fought about everything. The pictures on the walls. I won The artifical flowers on the fireplace. I won! Who got which TV I won that too! Oh she won half the pension and half of the house and half of the kids. No we didn't cut the kids in half. It was so bad we fought about the scrambled eggs! No joke!

Posted: 3/8/2008 1:16:03 AM | She wanted all her glamour photos back. Even the custom calendar she made just for me with her wearing my clothes! She wanted to erase me from her personal history.
I didn't fight, but I told her all the photo albums were mine, because I took all the photos with my camera, my film, bought, sorted all of 'em and had all the negatives.
I paid her half the value on furniture we'd bought together. Actually, I didn't "pay", because we had moved into a new, larger apartment a week before she decided to walk out, and I was staring at a 6-month lease I couldn't afford. I drew up a list of value for the furniture and paid the rent myself -- the deal was that at the end of the lease EVERYTHING was mine.

Posted: 3/8/2008 2:19:37 AM | This brought back memories......... We divided everything without any problem until we came to a picture of a nude with one earring. He refused to give it up and I had been the one who found it and bought it! About two years later he gave it to me! | |

Posted: 3/8/2008 10:54:42 AM | | The silliest thing (this was 15 years ago) was a set of hardcover Tom Clancey books. He didn't read at all and wanted to keep them because he'd apparently impressed another chick by saying he had them .. but they were mine and I took them with me. No longer have them now | |

Posted: 3/8/2008 12:14:21 PM | | I left with the dogs and a bright pink guitar. The dogs I understand but what I wanted with the guitar I don't know to this day. I've never been able to play one! We fought over that guitar for two years but I never gave it back. Still can't play it. | |

Posted: 3/8/2008 12:28:14 PM | Hell, we didn't quibble about anything!
He took mostly all of the toys, stuff from garage and a huge paycheck from me!
End of story, plain an simple!
To this day, he says he gave me all that I have today!
And I don't take issue with it. I just put it up to the cost o doing business! | |

Ah!!! I see you wrote you comment as a cypher, but I have broken the code!
Simply replace "hardcover Tom Clancey books" with "balls"; and replace "read" with "have sex" and it all makes perfect sense!!! | |

Posted: 3/8/2008 12:46:12 PM | | He didn't have those either and eventually replaced me with a bossy, controlling woman who to this day makes him toe the line. If that is what he needed, we were so not compatible from the start. | |

Not everyone here is divorced but by middle age probably most of us have probably been through a significant split. It dawned on me that during those times of stress, we dont always think straight and sometimes the silliest things become important. Just for fun I was wondering what the silliest thing that you fought over with an ex?
I cut out all of the nawty parts out of his massive collection of PlayBoy & Penthouse mags...he opened his mag & there was apic of a naked lady w/ her boobs & PU$$Y missing | |

Posted: 3/8/2008 7:11:54 PM | We were very civilized splitting all furniture except he wanted to give me his bedroom furniture he had as a boy and keep the set we purchased. I fought it and won. Bloody set is so huge and heavy. Still have it but can't wait to get rid of it, one day I will :)
Sold the house and split the proceeds in half. Very simple. I was getting ready to leave with the movers after picking up the last bits and pieces and he took a box of rice out of the box I had stuff in. I take the box back saying "you don't even eat rice" I said, he tells me "yes I do" and yanks it off my hands. Whatever... keep the darn box I said, and I left. I was not about to allow him to hurt me because he was pissed off.
He got in touch with me a few years later when he wanted to get divorced and I told him, go ahead do it yourself, I'm not paying for it. He did. That was in 1995 I believe. Never heard or saw him again. | |

Posted: 3/9/2008 5:41:24 AM | In my opinion, these "trivial" or "silly" issues are reflective of a far more profound, underlying and major issue. Often, people see a reluctance to do something specific as a reflection of something deeper, i.e. a need to control, a need to be independent, not loving someone, etc.

Posted: 3/9/2008 7:53:55 PM | Nothing....I left with the clothes on my back and a few pieces of artwork. I said that I would "start all over" (at the age of 37, and with an emotionally disturbed teenager, to boot), and that I'd have "much better" if I did it all by myself.
And with the help of GOD, I did! | |

I was fed up to come home one day and all the wine glasses were gone.... actually I think he took half...anyways left me with an odd number and they were all brand new glasses I had bought.... IKEA...not a biggie...but hell he took all the dishes, bowls etc... I wanted my freaking wine glasses!

Posted: 4/5/2008 6:49:51 PM | Our divorce was very positive. When we knew it was coming, we sat down and easily agreed about what items of value each of us would keep.
My ex had bought her house before we married, and I agreed she should keep it. We easily sorted out who would get to keep the electronics goodies we'd bought during our marriage.
My ex-wife helped support me through some rough times during our separation and after our divorce.
I was always sure to tell her how much I appreciated her help, and bought her a new computer system when I finally got some money.
We don't see each other any more, but would surely be "friendly" if we did. | |
