Marriage - the ultimate rip-off
Ms x-borkey was immensely sweet during the dating stage but once we were married she made clear that she viewed her income as her personal pocket money only to be spent on insanely expensive luxury consumables such as perfumes, designer clothes/shoes only worn once, exotic flowers and deluxe chocolate boxes (at prices high enough to feed a average Darfur family for a month) wheras my income was solely for necessities like food, rent, electricity, insurances, phone bills (hours of her endless gossiping) and even her taxes. Trying to discuss this with the silly cow only ended in 'you told my dad you'd support me' arguments.

I put up with being ripped off in this fashion for a couple of years but when she cheated on me with a mate I realized after the initial shock that the worst thing I could possibly do to him was to let him have her - in full knowledge that he had a whole lot hotter temperament than me. Lo and behold, less than a year into their marriage during a row over money he beat her so badly he got 6 months in jail and she grabbed his apartment in the following divorce.
It took me a year or so to get my economy back on track after her leaching but that twunt is still homeless. Guess I ripped him off in a backwards sort of way.
