#when you separate you GET DIVORCED

[zahri-melitor]

And while I’m on the topic of this, it is perfectly possible to have the law recognise that you have two legal spouses in terms of deceased estates in my jurisdiction.

Unfortunately this is not designed with poly families in mind so they still have a lot of wrangling to set up wills to cover things properly, but if say you’re married to someone, separate from them and do not get divorced, and then get into a new relationship with someone else and have been living together as a couple for at least two years at the date of death? Both of those people are your spouses, and will be treated as such under the law in respect of their entitlement to your estate.

Particularly if you haven’t had a property settlement with your first partner, but that’s not necessarily a bar either.

"just as I did, in 1983."

you'd never know my favourite parts of the show are the fucked up insane bits when my first instinct is to draw the cheesiest thing imaginable

touya is halfway through his workday, grease up to his elbows, little jumpsuit half undone down to his waist, when iguchi comes in to tell him "someone's askin' for you out here".

he's not sure who it could be, but there's no telling, so he just decides to take a smoke break and wander out of the automotive garage, maybe imagining one of siblings out on the pavement.

but the minute he sees you, he stops. nearly drops his cigarette on a rough, "oh shit."

it's been a while since he's seen you, a year or two, and the packet of paper in your hand can only mean one, bullshit thing.

"nah, nah, nah, i ain't signing any papers," is how he greets you, shaking his head the minute you start up the path with a big, determined frown. touya doesn't run, but he sure twists on his heel and starts back up the path, too, as you start calling out his name.

practically all of his coworkers are watching when he comes back into view, not bothering to hide how nosy they're being. their audience makes you falter just a tad and touya clings onto it; anything to stop you.

"never a good sign when your wife comes to find you at work."

there's a long silence, from everyone. when he looks back at you—at your manilla folder and carefully stapled documents, your petition for divorce—your eyes are heavy and wet, almost the same way they were when the two of you stood in a courtroom, lying about your age in order to pledge until death do you part.

almost. now they're just sad.

from somewhere in the garage, toga calls out a bewildered, "you have a wife?" that makes him feel a way he can't understand, both amused and devastated all at once.

your wedding ring isn't on your finger, but if he stares long enough, he can maybe see the difference in color of your skin, a former tan-line that's begun to fade.

he sold his for stuff he shouldn't have been buying, stuff that ruined him and you and your marriage, a long time ago.

but touya only smiles, and calls back, "yeah, i do."

Joked about Adam being divorced one too many times that now I'm getting anti-divorce ads

Adam think of the children... Please...

[snowshinobi]

hear me out: divorce ceremonies. divorce cake and divorce outfits. toasts to the uncouple spoken by the Worst Man and Maid of Dishonor (gender neutral). separate piles of gifts for the freshly parted, stuff like nice sheets and Target giftcards and cookbooks. marriage gets to have all this ritual attached to it and by god divorce deserves some of that action

[icannotgetoverbirds]

litcherally how the fuck do men hate their wives this is like the best shit ever i love my girlfriend so gotdam much

[yourcalamity]

i dont think anyone should have to put themselves through it but it is interesting to me how some other “disabled” people just decide they cannot work before even actually trying because its uncomfortable or makes them anxious and its an active choice they are actually able to make which they see zero privilege in when talking to those of us who will always have to work no matter what… and then theyll talk to you like “oh you dont understand i just cant” while you literally experience the exact same shit or more 😭

[aradidnt]

oh my fucking god.

I hate it here guysss. hahehe.

[faithfulcat111]

I don't mention it nearly enough, but thank God I got the supportive and helpful parents. Because them helping me figure out what the hell I'm going to do is the only reason I've got my shit together still.

Jewish ppl: please don't buy or play the new wizard game. it's a deeply antisemitic piece of media by design, blatantly relying on and leaning into anti-Jewish tropes and stereotypes while also carelessly appropriating sacred Jewish items.

trans ppl: please don't buy or play the new wizard game. your money will be lining the pockets of the world's most famous transphobe who's dedicated her life and online presence to harming trans folks.

the worst people you know, who are somehow surprised you'd judge them for buying and playing the new wizard game: neither of those things is a dealbreaker for me :)

[running-in-the-dark]

okay. so. I spent 6 hours talking to my mother today. somehow I survived.

the cruelest thing was that around the fifth hour she started being really nice and almost like a person I would like to talk to even if I didn't have to. really seemed to get some of the things I had said earlier.

and then when I was leaving - as in, literally putting my shoes on - she got this look on her face and said '.. and next time I want to ask you why you don't like me' as if that's totally normal. no hint of that the entire time we were talking or anything. 🙃

Dad: “You’ve never consistently walked every day how do you know it wouldn’t help?” (my chronic fatigue and perceived laziness for only doing as much as I need to and no more)

Me: “I literally walked (up the steep ass hill leading to our neighborhood) every day with 30 lbs of textbooks on my back for 7 years.”

Dad: “And you had more energy and were 100lbs lighter back then! See it works!”

like literally 1. no, I definitely did not. there’s (many) reasons I didn’t do homework and was failing every class bc of it, and a lack of energy was a big one. 2. lmao I gained like 30 lbs since I got out of high school if he really thinks it was 100 he’s deluding himself. 3. i only did all of that because i literally had no other choice. what was I going to do as someone who has a massive fear of punishment (in large part because of him), not go to school? skip class and get treated even worse? this is the man that cut off my access to running water for like 12 hours as punishment once. i can’t believe i ever thought that shit was normal

Mildly more exhausted than excited that Loba will most likely do whatever Shadow Rev has been taunting her about [with regards to his rise to power due to her actions] for like. Two real life years.

Exhausted more than excited because I am a little tired of Loba getting whatever she wants in their conflict. Of course he can't just get deleted from the roster, so he reasonably won't get what he wants no matter what happens and regardless of whether or not its her who does it. It's just... at the point to me as a fan where Loba shows up in the same room as Rev and I expect something unfulfilling to happen for both of them. They get in the way of their own greater development which is reasonable in their narratives to some extent but so unpleasant for some fans season after season.

I don't even hate Loba's behavior about it all! She's acting just like a person suffering from PTSD would when consistently confronted with one of her biggest fears about what's plain and simple her biggest trigger in life-- him. You can't always expect a person in that situation to be a kind, clear thinking, reasonable individual that's in control of their emotions even in the presence of their loved ones. She's somewhere else entirely. She might figure it out later, and I hope so for the sake of her relationships and growing in general. Revenant seems to be moving on out of exhaustion and newfound powers himself.

Basically. I just want them to get a restraining order already.
