Dude... HIGH FIVE! If you lived in the United States, she would be BONED the moment she gave you financial assistance especially since she would have to admit that in court. Doing so basically sets her up to having to automatically pay spousal support to you.

Unless she made a loan that is legally documented, most sane judges would rule that she can't claim any damages (since in 99% of the divorces which men are the primary breadwinner the same exact situation always benefits the wife). After all, by assisting you financially she basically is opening her bank account to being considered common property. (Which is why its never a smart idea to marry someone in debt, or having a joint account, or start paying off your wife/husbands credit cards).

This is how everyone else I know (except her) is seeing the situation. Which means I'm getting some nasty emails from her about coming to mediation and so on, and I'm responding and saying "You know what, actually? No. I'm not paying this, now I understand where I am, legally, and you can go whistle for it."

I think I'm going to end up sending all my financial dealings for the last five years to a court and letting them sort it out.

Tomorrow morning it goes off to Los Angeles! I hope I haven't forgotten to pack anything important...

Don't let you put into too much pressure. And try to remind your future ex-wife that she has to look carefully if it's really worth her stress to get worked up about it - that you're divorcing each other to make things easier for both of you instead of harder.

I would notify your attorney about her harassing emails.

I assume you will tell us what goodies Microsoft has in store for us.

I think that "Storytelling Games" thread I started in General is getting out of hand.

A thread getting out of hand? Here? Really? I'd never imagine.

I'll bet you that the thread was brought at CM and that's why you have some of the stuff going on there. Someone is stiring the pot.

I am not sure about CM, I think I just started a thread with a topic that has been discussed a lot lately in the General forum, and people just sort of took their issues with "Storytelling" systems with them to the thread.

Holy Squark! That sucks. The worst of things is despite what the law says.... females always come out better than males.

It does sounds like she is trying to get too much up front. Possibly purposely leaving room for bartering.

Definetely. And save those e-mails.

I finished John Play yesterday. I hope to start his adventures soon and his Storyhours shortly after that.

James Bond only wishes he had the "quizmos" Play does.

His background is even better. But then again I am a firm believer that the stronger the background the better the character.
