Divorce Math: The answer always equals one

ctomshaw's picture

I have never been able to deal with numbers very well. I didn’t get the process or the language. I thought “Calculus” was some Greek God with the power to make men’s brains to explode. Balancing a checkbook is more difficult than balance a VW Beetle on my head. »more»

Barack Obama and the World at Midlife

Never fear: this is not a political exposé. Instead, it's a reflection on a fascinating conversation that I had with Dr. Jed Diamond last night on my internet radio program. As you may know, Dr. Jed is the author of the best-selling books, Male Menopause and The Irritable Male Syndrome. What I didn't know about Dr. »more»

Is The Man in the Mirror a Fraud?

hlesbrown's picture

For the past few days, I've been reading Dr. Jed Diamond's newest book, The Irritable Male Syndrome with rapt attention (in advance of interviewing him on my upcoming internet radio program).

In the carnival Fun House that is life after divorce, there are plenty of terrifying firsts that leap out at you from the darkness.

Dropping your kids off with your former spouse after their first every-other-weekend sleepover. Eating your first meal alone in a crowded restaurant on a Saturday night. Balancing your own checkbook for the first time. There’s one first, though, that far and away brings with it the most petrifying, mind-numbing, inescapable panic of all.

The World's Having a Male Midlife Crisis

hlesbrown's picture

If I didn't know better (but I'm not sure that I do), I'd say the world was having a midlife crisis. Whether it's about half-way through it's life span, I don't know; but I do think that it's behaving just like a middle-aged guy. »more»

Honey, Who Are We Again?

I've read that one of biggest pitfalls to having kids is that couples tend to forget who they were prior to breeding (though I personally think the the loss of perky breasts is high on the list). As a Gypsy Nester, one who is looking forward to life after kids, I thought I'd share a secret. »more»

I wanted to start this topic because its something I think of often in my line of work as a Licensed Private Investigator.
I have so many clients victims of adultery that are understandably upset over adultery, hurt and betrayed. To the point of domestic violence and even murder.
Betrayal is a horrible emotion and its so painful and hurtful in so many ways. »more»
