Sheeeeeeeeesssssh What a DAY!!!

[Howard]

Well today was the day.  No more postponments(sp?), no more deaths in my lawyer's family, no more reassignments... Today was THE day!

I watched four or five divorces heard before my annulment.  The judge seemed in fine spirits.  She even chuckled at a joke or two, when not trying to satisfy her obligation to see that the legal criteria was met to grant a divorce.  

Then it was my turn.

Maybe it wasn't the best idea to wear my cape and bear my horns, because the second I stepped up to the Plantiff podium she went from congenial to rude!  While she understood EVERYTHING about everyone's divorce, it was like the Anuulment Judgement was written in Visayan!

She questioned every detail of the Complaint and me sware to and repeat every gorey detail.  At one point she rolled her FREAKIN' eyes when I answer "Yes" to a question, becasue she couldn't "... understand how that could be possible."  My lawyer was so pissed he was speechless!

After grilling me like I was O.J.!, she admitted that she had never heard an Annulment before and she need to to retire to chambers to see if my complaint met the legal requirements.  At one point, obviously a little confused, she apologized because it was "... her first annulment hearing."  I told it was cool because it was my first too  That was the only chance I had at levity this morning

As I sat and stewed in the courtroom, waiting for her to find the right chapter in her "I'm a B!TCH" manual, I couldn't imagine what I would do if this quack of an official denied my claim simply because she's an incompetent!  Well that's not entirely true, an image or two of me overpowering the Baliff and everything covered in red did cross my mind

After ten or so minutes she called us back up, made a few more snide comments and grated my Annulment.

Nothing about the marriage was easy, don't know why I had hopes it would end painlessly

Guys... stop what you're doing right now and hug your wife!  When your done take a second and thank God that you were somehow lucky enough to avoid misfortune and end up with someone who truely loves you

As one chapter ends another begins.  I have a feeling that everything from here on out should be much happier

Thanks for all of the support!!!

I'm fine, I'm just glad it's over!

Keep the Faith!

for Honey and I.  I know she's breathing a lot easier.  I guess Ayesa too.  I know you are having trouble deciding to be happy or whatever...  I think having a friend like Gerlie who knows and discusses it with you really helps.

How cruel some people can be in there "all important selves" to force people together without any thought of the pain and humiliation it can cost all for the sake of money.  Her parents weren't any better than pimps.  Yet others come here and become so selfish and forget the reasons they came.  What ever happened to the old standards of marriages without knowing each other where people actually married and fell in love and worked hard to make the marriage work just because it was expected.  Did that ever really work/happen or is an old wifes tail or fantasy destroyed by the fiancial needs of this time?  

Fellas watch it.  I want to say more but I dare not.  Some might take it wrong.

I am amazed at the mental scars Honey carries from things said and done to her - especially after she married me.  I have learned so much about the problems I caused her when I was there.  Things I said were taken so wrong.  Are they really so desparate over there that they can hurt or destroy the lives of the loved ones in the "I know better than you do because I'm you parent" attitude.  Honey gets so mad when I send money to them - especially now that I had to take such a large cut in pay.  But my attitude is if I don't help her siblings finish college that I'll be paying much more in the future.  At least this way I can hope that they *may* help themselves.

Oh well, whats life without situations and trials?

I am sorry to hear you were dealt with in such a cavalier manner. But another poster is correct. Annulments are more complicated and unusual. You are basically undoing the entire marriage, taking it back to the day before you met, as it were. Instead of amicably ending a marriage, you are sort of denying it.

Did you know that women who have had marriages annulled in the church magically get their virginity back? At least in the church's eyes.

Vicky says she is sorry and apologizes as a Filipina.

Good luck, my brother.

Hey Hum,

ROFLMAO! Fortunately I was never in a Florida prison. =8oO I can usually tell the transvestites by their large hands and Adam's apple. ;o)) Since the body completely renews itself every couple of years, I figured I was a born-again virgin.

First I laugh my ass off at howards annulment post (best post of the month), and then this thing comes along... I almost had to go to the hospital because I couldn't stop laughing.  WHEW!

Man, if you could get into a cat and mouse fight with Ray or something like that, (maybe you guys could fake it), this board would be literally rolling!

Between wet farts and male virginity, you dudes are funny as hell!

Hey Brian,

I wonder what you'd call a male hymen...maybe a "hemen." I used to work in a grocery store as a teen and often had to stock the shelves with the feminine products. An old guy I worked with used to call the pads "manhole covers." That used to crack me up. He said the tampons were for plugging up the dykes. ;o)))

Speaking of cats...I've been a little busy lately designing a buttplug-filter for Kevin't cat. Meowpppuuuffffff Hmmm...smells like his ex. ;o))

Strangest thing I heard feminine insertion products called was "crammers". Some time ago.

I was helping a small store owner I was dating stock her place, and she offered to buy lunch if I watched the store. I said "Sure."

A woman came in and asked where the "crammers" were. I thought about what they could possibly be, and guessing, sent her back to the snack section. She came back and said she couldn't find them there. So I went back and said "All we have are Screaming Yellow Zonkers (remember those?)."

She laughed and said, "No! I meant tampons!"

I blushed for the first time in five years.

When I was in high school, when it was pizza day, the pizza was cut into rectangles, and had tomato sauce only.  Filling but not my idea of good pizza.  Well (pardon me if I offend anybody)the students referred to this pizza as used tampons.
