If you collect alimony, you're a moneygrubbing whore.
Okay, so

bad_service about her father-in-law passing away and his girlfriend of five years, claiming to be the man's wife, cremating him within 24 hours without consulting his family/next of kin or having any legal paperwork of any kind. Distressed because she and other family members did not get a chance to pay their respects and receive closure, she calls this bad service on the part of the funeral home.

Cue.... alimony wank!

Yes, that's right. Forget the possibly irresponsible/unethical funeral home and the possibly shady circumstances, it's all about them moneygrubbin' hos because alimony is charity and true feminists would have none of it.

Some lone voices of reason pipe up, nobly excusing

cbpiz due to her distressed state while at the same time patiently disagreeing with her, but no, alimony is for the weak.

Uh-huh.

The wank is dying down, as the OP seems to realize this isn't the time/place, but was it ever vociferous.

	Wow, and here I thought the wank would be centered on the chick who admitted that she didn't get married so she and her boyfriend could live off her ex's alimony. (Reply to this)(Thread)

I can top that easily. My godmother's cousin's first husband died and she remarried out-of-state so she could keep getting the first husband's military benefits. And the kicker? The government won't stop it, even though a couple members of the family including godmom have tried to turn her in. And she's been taking the money for something like 13 years, if not more. She gets enough to make a mortgage payment and enough to live frugally on. Added to by her second hubby's trust fund status.

	Heh, my coworker's brother just found out the ex-wife he's been paying alimony for re-married more than five years ago. Like any system that's meant to even the odds, people are going to take advantage of it. C'est le vie. (Reply to this)(Parent)
