Well he was trying to save himself 5k by screwing her out of 2.5k it’s just ridiculous and certainly not what you’d expect from anyone working in compliance where integrity is key.

Point-scoring = a pointless waste of time and doesn’t make anyone any happier. Those hell bent on revenge don’t feel any better for it, the energy wasted on hating someone is better spent elsewhere.

That’s exactly it, it takes something like a divorce to really see peoples true colours, if you ever loved someone you don’t fuck them over, you let them go. You hold the higher moral ground by just walking away and leaving them to sort the mess out they’ve created, not by being hell bent on revenge. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you've never had to endure being in such a position. Some people, for a variety of reasons find it difficult to just walk away from a situation they've invested so much in, emotionally, financially and often parentally. There's a certain, gnawing agony about the protraction of it all, an upheaval one has to've lived through to fully understand the complications that arise, the frustration and emotionality can have murderous consequences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a certain, gnawing agony about the protraction of it all, an upheaval one has to've lived through to fully understand the complications that arise, the frustration and emotionality can have murderous consequences. I’ve almost certain I’ve been through more ‘life’ events than most people have in a life time. I had a very traumatic/chaotic upbringing, being the byproduct of a bitter divorce/affair , I can’t write my life story in a single post but it was absolute hell being played off one another, abducted, beaten and it caused so many problems for me right though to early adulthood, because the lines or wrong and right were extremely blurred and I learnt a lot of things the hard way (especially things relationships and how important school work should’ve been….) These events made me no doubt stronger as a person, but I have got absolutely zero tolerance for this nasty point scoring type behaviour, it doesn’t make anyone any happier, fact. If you want to make yourself feel better, it’s not found by screwing someone else over, it’s found by moving on and rebuilding your life, people get so heavily invested in short term events and drama they do stupid things that stop them from maybe having the next (probably) best 5-10 years of their life, that isn’t just relationships but things like jobs too.

Annoymouse Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 To raise another point, things like a house being a ‘home’ and refusing to leave on that basis is something else I find absolutely trivial, a house is made a home by the people that live there, without that it’s just bricks and mortar. In short any house can be a home, it doesn’t have to be ‘that house’ just because it has memories attached, sometimes it’s better to move on and see where life takes you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
