Just a little note to say: IT'S OVER!

What do you think about this? Couple becomes engaged, woman quits job, relocates to be with man...2 days b4 wedding he dumps her via sticky note.

She sues for breach of contract and she wins. I agree with the decision in this case, and I think that for people who have a spouse who reneges on the contract which is marriage and especially family, it was a good day in court.

Marriage is not, to me, just about love. You don't have to marry someone for love, but marriage especially when there are children is a sound business decision. If one person just decides to bail with no compelling reason they should be held accountable to the contract. In the case of marriage the contract is not just social, but legal as well.

Perhaps if more people were held accountable for the marriage contract people would think a little harder about getting divorced, and a lot harder at getting married in the first place.

What about the spouse who finds their partner has been leading a double life?
Isn't that fraud?

I'd kill him, chop him up into lil pieces, put him in ziploc baggies and bury him where he'd never be found.

I think the sticky note is a tacky way to call it off, but she quit her job and moved, so it was ALL her decision. People break up all the time, so no I don't like where this will take us as far as relationships go. He gave her 5K which was more than generous. It's enough to get her where she wants to go and find another job - suing for more money makes her a greedy, vindictive witch. At her age she should've had her own money saved up since she claims to have been making $80K.

Neither one of them sounds like a prize.

Any man that would date her after this is nuts.

Business decision? That is incredibly sad point of view in my opinion. No way, no how, NEVER on god's green earth, would I EVER marry somebody I didn't love. But then, I don't throw the L-Bomb around lightly either!

People fall out of love, people lie, or simply decide something might be a bad "business decision" :shrug: It happens, It sucks, and it hurts but as a good friend of mine says... "Get over it, or die of it, your choice."

"Bitter" is like a disease it will eat you up from the inside out if you let it. If you surround yourself with other bitter man/woman haters you'll NEVER get over it. They will drag you down each and every time just so you'll stay part of the bitter club with them. Find yourself some positive people and move on with your life or in a few years you'll be that lady with 63 cats and all the little kids will be afraid of you because the last time you smiled was in "ought 4".

she set him up...
she smothered him and he got smart and left the sticky...(tacky but creative)
better to pay $$$ now than to be stuck with her until the divorce is over!!

many couples have problems and not all get married....but to go so public and set him up?
kinda like a black widow.....
run forest run....

I didn't say that people should marry just for business purposes, but that love isn't the only component to a marriage. When I married my husband we were able to intertwine our interests in a way that wasn't available to us as un-married, with children. Even now my husband and I are arranging for his legal adoption of my son, because no matter how pissed I am at him he's still raised my kids and is father to them all, not just blood-related. This option is available because we are married. We were together for 4.5 years before we got married, when we did it was for our mutual interests as a family. Those interests for me and the kids haven't changed.

I really think you should let go of your bitterness. If you feel like all you do is surround yourself with haters, then you should be more discriminate in your choice of companions.

I saw this on the news and it stated the resaon he broke it off was because she had lied about her financial debts.When he found out she lied about that he realized she was probably lying about other crap too. Nothing like a lying goldigger.

Hopefully he will get it overturned on an appeal.

He said, she said.

but the courts decided it was him who was in breach of contract. I don't know all the details or the evidence, but there was a lawful trial. It should just be a wake up call to everyone that marriage is serious bizness.

Yup, ya caught me bitter woman hater that I am, posting here looking for a piece of trim on the side, then complaining because my spouse dumped me, followed by some random woman hating in various threads and links to articles where some saint of a man wins one over the "evil woman"...

Wait... that doesn't sound like me, that sounds like...

OOOHHHhhhhhhh, I get it!!!

You go girl

Yes, but they were not married yet. I don't remember what she won but I bet it is alot less that what she would have asked for ten years from now in a divorce. There are no kids involved so in my opinion she is soley responsible for herself.

When I first heard the report I thought she was suing for wedding expenses which I would have agreed with. She made a choice and it turned out not to be the best choice. If she lied about her past or situation though, then she really brought it all on herself. JMHO.

That's very insensitive of you. There was an evil man involved and he OBVIOUSLY is at fault, I mean, he has testicles right???

You go girl

wow. you got me.
I'm torn between wondering if you could really be this dense or if this is amazing satire...
Obviously you don't know me, but here's a little something. I don't troll for dates on the internet. If I want to meet someone new I go out and socialize.

You read a few posts and think you know a person? Ignorance.

They were not married yet but I just was attempting to broaden the discussion, as far as the ethics and ramifications of this court case and decision. I don't know if any of you remember the Baby M cases and some other high profile custody battles that reverberated and impacted our whole adoption/custody laws/ethics.

She made a choice, and so did he. There was an agreement, a social contract. She changed her life for both their interests...now that those interests no longer suit him should she bear the burden?

Ah I see, looking for new "business partners" didn't work out so well online huh? Can't understand why not. I mean you're right, I don't know you but your posts come off as such a well centered, optimistic, enjoyable to be around, woman!

You are so stupid.

I'm not looking for new business partners or even an intern or apprentice. If I wanted either I'd already have it.

You are humiliating the cat in the hat with your incorrigible stupidity.

Remember young dumbass, just because you believe it to be true, doesn't mean that it is.

Yes I remember that well and I read the book to. If I recall she's the one who impregnated herself wth a turkey baster. I think it was really sad for the non- bio mom though.

I just think that everyone is so quick to sue someone else. At some point we have to become responsible for the situations we get ourselves into instead of being vindictive.
