    As much as I hate this schmuck, the proposed law isn’t bad on the surface. I’d be furious if I had to work past retirement to keep supporting an ex wife whom I divorced decades prior. Like I get the intent of alimony, but to me it seems quite a bit outdated when most working households have both adults having their own careers. And if a couple divorces, why should the breadwinner have to pay to maintain the other’s lifestyle instead of a stipend until the other gets on their feet. I’d be raging if I was busting my ass to keep making money, and her insta feed is nothing but her going shopping and having spa days on my dime.

      Get a prenuptial agreement or don’t marry a woman with no moral respect for anyone but herself. (Yes there are exceptions to this.) But I’ve seen too many men and women choose partners that are obviously terrible human beings, then go full surprised when that person ruined their lives. I have a friend that is still paying for her ex-husbands life style. I feel bad but all of her friends and family told her not to marry that guy but she doubled down and is on the hook until he marries again.

        Problem is, you can end up with someone who isn’t a piece of shit but turns into one, or was always a piece of shit but they hid it well.

          A lady I know had to divorce her husband after he had a stroke and turned into a raging, abusive narcissist. I can only imagine how confusing and painful it was for her.

            That sounds absolutely horrifying, seeing someone you love turn into someone else, that too due to no fault of their own.
