The whole kit and caboodle

Today, I asked my husband for a divorce. He said fine, as long as I got full custody of the kids. I did an actual double take; he didn’t want shared custody, he wanted me to take the kids, no arguments or negotiating, because he doesn’t want the kids anymore. FML

Divorce him anyway, women don't need their husbands permission to get divorced in the US anymore.

I talk to stupid girls all the time who say "I want a divorce but my husband won't give me one" you're all stupid. You don't need permission from the other person to get a divorce.

It sounds like the marriage has been going downhill and is at a point of no return. Even if her husband does not want a divorce, that's not any way to talk to your wife about a serious issue. It IS verbal abuse, because he's not letting her have an opinion. This man doesn't want to change, and he won't. She should leave him ASAP

Yeah, because my mother was verbally abused. I have a reason to be so outspoken about this.

Sorry about your mom and all, but saying he doesn't want a divorce is not verbal abuse. Go back to counseling.

Can you not sue for divorce in the States? Citing irreconciliable differences? Then the court grants you the divorce and MAKES him sign the papers.

Today, my boyfriend and I were having sex. Feeling goofy, I thought it’d be funny to try to reenact that horrible sex scene from the movie Showgirls. I threw my body back, but completely lost my balance and smashed my head on the headboard. I ended up with a bad concussion and a huge hospital bill. FML

Today, my son invited me to his first standup comedy gig. I accepted, only to later suffer through an hour of the worst jokes I've heard in my entire life. It was so bad, he made Dane Cook look like a comic genius, and I had to resist heckling him. Hours later, I still feel vaguely suicidal. FML
