Happy Bride right here! We treated our wedding like a larger scale get together we'd have at our home. It was truly our goal to make our wedding fun, intimate, and about our guests. People still talk about how thoughtful and relaxed our wedding was (was in 2011).

While I understand it's in poor taste to celebrate a period in history that clearly shouldn't be, I think this is ridiculous. There is a difference between paying tribute to ones Southern heritage and being an ardent supporter of the old south and its ways.

I saw the headline and immediately it raised my hackles. I was ready to pounce on what a waste of money such foolishness is. Then I read the article and took my dose of STFU. I'm left with a nice warm and fuzzy feeling in fact. What a cool way, even if unintentional, to make a new friend.

I never in a million years thought I would consider the right to die an option for myself or anyone else until my mother was dying from breast cancer. I don't know if she would have even considered it because it wasn't an option, still isn't, in the state that she lived in.

My point was I DID ask what if. I did inquire into reporting him to authorities. I did not simply ignore the fact that she was not the age of consent.

Also...His attorney advised him to break off the relationship until the divorce was final. It's my understanding that he complied. Then they got back together (she was 18 at this point) just as our mediation was winding down.

Your level of self-righteousness needs some dialing down. He would only have had to register as a sex offender if he was charged and convicted. Work with me here. Here's what I was told. The relationship started when she was 16 going on 17 (no proof of this, just what I was told by a third party).

Wait. Whet? His "reputation as a car salesman" is ruined? He's a car salesman. Am I missing some sort of a joke or is this guy from some other planet where car salesmen are pillars of the community? I'm no fan of the Bieb, but I'm much less fond of idiots clogging up the courts with their money grabbing bullshit.

A couple of things, and I've posted this response more than once already:

I'm afraid my attempt to keep the story brief has left a lot open for interpretation. It was not my place to nail him. Her parents were aware of the relationship and age difference and chose not to press charges. They would have had to be the ones to do that. I could have been questioned or provided corroborating

Divorcing couple called Opposite Direction

I don't know if I agree that retail jobs are easier than food service industry jobs. My mother worked retail for almost 40 years. She worked in a department store in an affluent suburb of DC. I'll share some highlights of her career:

One of my friends got angry with her boyfriend one time and in a blind rage she managed to call him foot jelly. Yup, foot jelly.

You made a good pont and a fair one. I tried not to overload on the details for brevities sake, but that seems to have left a lot open for interpretation. Totally my bad.

No, I didn't just wake up one day and decide to spy on my husband because I could. Nor were any work related resources used. It was simply the running joke after we divorced that I just happened to work where I did.

Nice try at being all political. Spectacular fail.

Dumb unless one considers that I only worked part time and was unable to secure a full-time position until after we divorced. I had also funded part of his college education.

And she fucked my husband, so I don't feel too bad.

Good thing I got rid of living with somebody who stuck their dick where it so did not belong.

She was his co-worker, not mine. He was a retail manager.
