    Hi,

    I'm currently going through a messy divorce.

    I agreed terms with my ex last year, which I thought were good, but my (highly dysfunctional) family say it's a bad deal so I agreed to try and renegotiate.

    My ex is refusing to budge. I've tried pleading with him but he says he's already made more than enough concessions.

    There's a family pow-wow on Tuesday. What should I do?

    Thanks in advance,
    Theresa

    Fake your own death.

    Leave your clothes on the edge of a cereal crop field, and run naked into the field. Everyone will think you have committed suicide and are lost in the crop field forever. You will then be able to live out the rest of your life in anonymity in a location of your choice after Phil has made a claim on the life insurance.

      Hold firm. Remember that you hold all the cards. Start making jam to sell at the farmers market.

        Tell him to sod off, and that you're keeping the house. And all the contents. You might want to make sure he's got a drink in his hand when you tell him though...

        HTH

        PS. You can do so much better, y'know...

          If we are going to continue this tulipe analogy you need to understand that half the people in your family pow wow can only get off their knees long enough to turn around so your ex can **** them up the arse.

            Since you asked for the divorce, have you mentioned to your ex what you'd like out of it, or are you just going to blame your ex for them not reading your mind and working out what you want?

            Also, if you came up with an idea of a way to prevent further problems and they were happy with it, why are your numpty children blaming your ex for the idea?
            …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

              Perhaps the children are fully aware of the issues in the relationship. Things rules being imposed upon you after consultation with his friends, and then putting it to a vote of the neighbours.
              Don't be too hard on the girl, I don't think her heart's really in the whole divorce thing. I reckon she's hoping the ex will buy her a big bunch of flowers and rekindle the relationship she secretly craves.
              Failing that, she would like some cake...
