Ever Wonder How the "Other Woman" Feels?
Dear Cathy,I was truly offended by your article and description of the "Other Woman" in a marital affair. The Other Woman, truth be told is a wonderful,loving lady. She is caught in a love triangle without knowing.I met a guy, Tommy who said he and his wife had drifted apart, which happens. they were living in separate rooms. I can't understand that, I was married for 30 years and the sparks never left, I am now widowed.Tommy and Patricia were staying together for the financial reasons, not love, not intimacy. So, Tommy knew all the right things to do and say, and we had a world-wind romance for almost a year. Then Patricia saw a smile on his face and Tommy was happy, now she wants marriage counseling, no intimacy, but counseling.Yes, the trophy wife so to speak, why should she have to go out into the world and work? Give up her lifestyle. Well, she knew how to put the guilt on him, and it worked. Tommy wants to give his marriage one more chance, but I should stand by him and if they can't fix what is broken, which will take many years of therapy, he will come back to me.Wow, I felt my heart was ripped out of my chest and stomped on. The Other Woman, I am no glamor girl, typical legal secretary with a warm and loving Italian heart, who would do.post continued

New York Goes No-Fault
Governor David Patterson signed a bill passing no-fault divorce law for the state of New York. The new bill will allow couples to divorce by mutual consent or unilaterally.Governor Paterson said in a statement. "These bills fix a broken process that produced extended and contentious litigation, poisoned feelings between the parties and harmed the interests of those persons -- too often women -- who did not have sufficient financial wherewithal to protect their legal rights. I commend the sponsors on providing a real and effective legislative solution to a problem that has for too long bedeviled ordinary New Yorkers."Evidently Governor Patterson knows nothing about divorce in those states that already have no-fault divorce laws. It is the two people divorcing who determine how "contentious" the litigation becomes, not the laws of the state. Too bad states can't adopt laws require couples to be civil and respectful during the divorce process.To say that no-fault divorce laws protect the financial interest of anyone is ludicrous. It is especially so as far as women and children go. No-fault divorce laws give free reign to men who want to abandon a wife and his children. I'm not sure why Governor Patterson believes a woman will have more "sufficient financial wherewithal to protect their legal rights" under a no-fault system. A woman will fare as well under no-fault laws as she did under fault laws. In most cases that isn't very well.What do no-fault divorce laws really mean for the state of New York? It means a man can be left, with no legal recourse should his wife find someone new. She, more than likely can take his children, change forever the time his is allowed to have with his children, request alimony and get child support all on a whim.A woman can be left to raise her children alone or after decades of marriage face her retirement years alone should some prettier, younger model come along. Her husband can sail off into the sunset with his new sweetie while the old model works well past the age of retirement just to keep a roof over her head.No-fault divorce, just like fault divorce is not in the best interest of most. Lies are told, harm is done and feelings are "poisoned" regardless of the laws. At least under fault divorce laws you have to work your way out of a marriage. People are forced to stop and think twice before dismantling something that was once precious to them. That is no longer the case in New York.

Zsa Zsa Gabor: Nine Times Married, Eight Times Divorced
To say that Zsa Zsa Gabor has experience with divorce is an understatement. She also had unique views (for her time) about how women should stand up for themselves in divorce and everyday life.She may not have been full of wisdom when it came to marriage but she was full of wit when it came to divorce. Below are a few memorable one-liners. Please, don't take them seriously lest you end up as Zsa Zsa.married more times than you care to count."A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he's finished.""Conrad Hilton was very generous to me in the divorce settlement. He gave me 5000 Gideon Bibles.""Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.""How many husbands have I had? You mean apart from my own?""I am a marvelous housekeeper. Every time I leave a man I keep his house.""I learned in school that money isn't everything. It's happiness that counts. So Momma sent me to a different school.""I want a man who is kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?"More Divorce Humor
