OT- Double whammy for Pippen

Maybe Dennis Rodman marrying himself wasn't so crazy.
Rollie Fingers has been married 5 times. He said a couple of years ago that if he ever marries again he’ll marry a guy. Said “if I’m gonna get screwed, I’m gonna get screwed.”
 
In the order, the court recognizes Larsa as Scottie's ex-wife -- whom he married in 1997. The official date of separation is November 3, 2016. So...she was legally awarded "Fifty Percent" of all account balances as of the plan's valuation amount closest to the date of their separation. In other words, she gets half of the amount that was accrued in the account from 1997 to 2016.
Now, it should be noted, this is normal in a California court for couples to split their respective retirements -- unless there is a prenuptial agreement. The famous couple reportedly DID have a prenup.

The greatest part of this order, for Larsa, is that the money is to be paid in a "cash lump sum" and is to be distributed to her own account "as soon as administratively possible following the approval of this order." And...and the judge signed it on June 16, 2023.
Not that she needs it, but if you have been living under a rock for a while you should know that Larsa is currently dating Michael Jordan's son, Marcus Jordan. The richest sports figure of all time.
What if they marry and Marcus takes it all back and gives it to Scottie? What a humdinger!

I'm stuck paying child support, half my business value, almost all the kids activities/clothes/etc and a few small bills. She got plenty from the divorce and spent 5 months unemployed traveling around the world on what I paid her. Now she's broke and asking if I can help. I'm not falling for that lol.
I bet the second that last kid turns 18...you will never talk to your ex again.
 
Buddy of mine who lives in CO got divorced. She got custody of the kid. Left the state. Gets alimony and child support. Also got 150k. They didn't even own a house together. Fvcking insane. They both have good careers making over 100k a year. He's not happy.

Same thing happened to my previous VP of Sales. Minus the ex-wife having a career bc she was penniless. I think he said he paid her $8k month bc the time of their divorce he was making over $250k. Now he’s stuck having to pull in that kind of income for 2 decades I
guess…. what happens if he can’t get a job making the money anymore? I’d assume the $8k was pre-tax, would be a special kind of insanity if it wasn’t in CA being taxed at around 40% or more.

And she moved out of state with his daughter, while she knew the only way he could make the kind of money he needed to pay her was to stay where he was in the Bay Area.

My cousin turned into a raging binge alcoholic, divorced her husband and took 1/2 his 401k at $250k. Believe agreement was no child support/alimony if she could move out if state with that kids.

Marriage is insanity (I say this being married) and financial suicide for over 50% of men, especially those with money. You are essential signing up to financial slavery for 2 decades if you have kids and at the whims of highly irrational, neurotic species who can literally do nothing wrong in the eyes of the law. It’s crazy
 
My cousin has a crazy wife. He’s built up a significant estate through his business but his wife is an angry woman with mental health issues and he couldn’t take it anymore. When his youngest started college, he moved out.

His wife lives in the house which is very nice and paid off. She has run up $100,000 in credit card debt at least twice which he paid off. I think he is trying to keep her away from his assets. They are not divorced, and I don’t even think they’re separated legally. He lives in California, so he knows the stakes. Talk about being in a tough spot.

Amen!

Bitches be crazy!

I had a friend (girl) and her hubby (no ex) was a fire captain (aren't they all captains though?) and they got a divorce...he basically gave her everything she wanted as long as she agreed to not touch his pension...

She was kind enough (after getting the house, cars, boat, lake house, savings, stocks and probably one of his balls) to say "okay"...
 
Easy solution....marry a girl with money. Bam. You're welcome.
My wife got in to medical school after we got engaged. I got in to my professional curriculum a year before she did. When she’s giving me hell I’ve asked her “exactly why did you marry me?” She answered once “I thought your family had money”. Wrong.

A hitman woiuld be a lot less. I wonder what the cost is to hire a real hitman, like a former cia hitman.
 
Scottie is going through a spell...BUT...in the midst he is coming off really bad

Doesn't get this bad publicly though if Lar$a wasn't on MJs kid
I don't feel for Pippen one bit. He is known as "no-tippin" Pippen. Cheapskate. So this one really hurts. LOL

When my wife and I have had heated discussions, she likes to tell me “if you’re unhappy about things there’s the door you can leave if you like”. I’ve been known to respond on multiple occasions with, “I vowed until death do us part and believe me, I pray everyday for the sweet release of death”.
 
Here’s a story of why guys fall for girls who look like that. We were just on a river cruise from Budapest to Bucharest. We stopped at a couple of large churches. They told us to look out for beautiful young, scantily clad girls. They would pickpocket us. Our cruise director told us guys (mostly in our 60’s and 70’s) that if a women who looked like that wanted to talk to us, we should look in a mirror and ask ourselves “why?”

I see all the jersey chasers for athletes who are not very attractive, and you know they don’t love them. I wonder how many athletes who marry hot babes are happy? And are any of the women actually happy? Or do they just like to live the lifestyle and tell their friends they’re married to ……whom ever. A lie defector test would be fascinating.

Looks are fleeting.. intelligence is always attractive .
 
43 years. If I want to really get her goat I remind her that I got in to my program before she did. Then I add “you just wanted to be sure somehow you could add Dr in front of your name.” That’s when it started…😉
OUCH! LOL

Most married people are not happily married, they are basically just happy roommates. Which is totally fine.

I read a great article for a class I teach, The Stranger Beside Me. I think that was the title, it was about this huge rise (at the time, this was like 10 years ago) of divorce for people that had been married like 20+ years.

What it said was that people get married because you are basically expected to do that once you have been dating a long time...then what do you do? Have kids...so you have this dating experience that is fun, and 1-2 years of married life with no kids, which can be fun.

Then for the next 20 years, your life and her life is all about raising kids. Practices, games, concerts, dance class, recitals, sleep overs, friends, bday parties, on and on. Your life with your partner becomes all about the kids.

But then the kids grow up and leave...and you sit down across from this person that you don't even know anymore. This roommate errand runner and you realize that 20 years have gone by and things are pretty lame.

So you leave and start over.

As far as jersey chasing, totally something you see at UNL, I can remember SOOOO many small town girls that could not wait to "get with" a dude on the FB team.
 
Well, same sex married is only recently legal. So...Haha

I would NEVER ever promote the idea of marriage to my kids. Never. Unless you really believe in your heart that it is a sacrament. If not, just live together with the person you love.
Interesting.
 
Interesting.
Again, if it is a religious thing, go for it, that is amazing and beautiful and fulfilling.

But if it is just "the next step", why bother?

My brother got married and is pretty much just waiting for the youngest kid to turn 18 so that he can leave and not have to live in a 1 bedroom apt in the burbs. His wife is nice enough, your typical everyday girl, but they are roommates.

This was a great read and this industry is growing like crazy. Wedding planners are also now Divorce Party Planners and they are banking!

Its an important step if you plan on having children and for us in having a stable society.

How so?

50% of marriages end in divorce.

Or you are saying that a married couple with kids is more likely to stay together than a non-married couple with kids? You might be right, I don't know the stats, I totally agree with you that a two parent home is better for kids.

Yes because the lack of importance we have and govt overreach in our marriages.

The lack of stable homes in our country is a plague that fuels the negatives of our econony.


And there is only one other way for marriage to end. So its always gonna be 50% to a degree.

Agree, lack of stable homes are a huge issue.

What do you mean about govt over reach in marriages?
 
2 parent household kids do better in virtually every metric. And doesn't matter if you're married or not, if you live together long enough the state considers you married so you can still get screwed with child support and alimony.
I think that depends on state to state but I think 7 years seems like the number?

Super, this is a really good post. I agree with it, but the book missed a few items that are apparent to me. Since we have a couple of ladies on the forum, I will elaborate on what I believe, and if they care to respond that would be fine.

I'm completely convinced that women are emotional and men are visual. It is one of the downfalls to many marriages. A guy and gal get married, and WITH EXCEPTIONS, over a period of time the women put on weight, which, right or wrong, lessen the man's attraction to her.

Nearly every man is attracted to beautiful/attractive women. Sure, women like a handsome guy, but they are also into humor, personality, the clothes they wear, economic status, etc. Guys don't have such standards in a hot chick.

Like most guys, growing up I knew a few sluts (sadly I would have liked to have known more), so there has always been that hunting aspect that has appealed to men, and to a lesser degree, women.

When a wife, WITH EXCEPTIONS, is no longer attractive to her husband, men will wander. That's why porn and just looking at hot women takes up a lot of time for some of YOU.

With the divorce rate being 50%, and probably 50% or more of the remainder that are in loveless marriages but stay for the kids, it proves marriage is a tough gig.

I'll end this now and wait for the incoming.

People shouldn't get married because they had kids. Kids are a celebration of a marriage.

But I dont want my daughter living with some dude that want committ to her for years.

I disagree that 50% are not in love but staying married.

Divorce rate is too high.

I do agree that people should never marry if they dont want to..

Yep to all of this.

And men are happy to initiate banging BUT after the wife rejects it over and over, they stop initiating it and next thing you know....you have a roommate.

Is it really that hard for a wife to just give a BJ once a week and not act like it is the biggest chore in the world.

50% of marriages end in divorce, we know that much. As far as loveless marriages, it might just depend on your definition of love but I would say that 50% of marriages are "routine", as in, "well, I have been married for 15 years, kids are close to being in their teens, I wake up, go to work, go to a kids game, play golf twice a month, we go out to eat every other week and we take a vacation each summer" and you are just in that routine and you are fine with it, not happy, not miserable, just in that routine. That is what a ton of marriages are, nothing wrong with that.

Then you have a good % where both are just hoping to end it but neither wants to be the one who starts the divorce, so you just wait and wait and next thing you know you are living with a stranger.
