This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Suppose you put your career on hold to help put your spouse through school. They'll be earning 4 times what you are once they're out of grad school, so you have turned down promotions and the like to keep the 2 of you as well as your kid afloat and catered to their schedule and needs while they go through this.
Now your spouse wants to split with you once they're out of school. You'd hitched your wagon to them and hadn't planned for a future where you wouldn't be moving forward as a unit.
Because that's the position I'm in now. Dammed fucking right I feel entitled to some sort of support given promises and vows were made.
Gold diggers exist, sure... but get some life experience before some bullshit hot take about something you have zero experience with
I'm also going through this but it's not that painful because I had the foresight to get a prenuptial agreement before the marriage.
Yeah, I'm going to come out okay when all is said and done. I never signed anything, but it helps to have asshole lawyers in your immediate family.
Glad to hear that.
The way this was worded, I have to say, did come off smugly superior. Something like “…through this though I’m thankful it’s not as painful as it could be owing to a prenuptial agreement before marriage” would soften it kindly.
Yeah, this should be argued on a case by case basis and not made the default. Sorry your former spouse hung you out to dry like that tho
