@hazardwarning yeah, it’s amazing to have an actual partner.

Tax Bill for 2022: Less than expected but still OMGWTF
H&R Block Fee: $269
Knowing my ex will have to endure more fun with the IRS: priceless
@variablepulserate There is an element of that, sure. We discussed it pretty extensively.
@matigo there’s so much I used to do primarily to avoid my family. That includes the miles I ran and all the traveling I used to do.
No more.
Lots of firsts today:
- First work flight in three years
- First time originating a trip out of BNA (Nashville)
- First time landing in FLL (Fort Lauderdale)
- First time in at least a couple of decades (if ever) that my partner and I both cried when she dropped me off at the airport
Thankfully, it won’t happen nearly as regularly as before.
Two passports and a divorce later, I have a passport that doesn’t include my ex’s last name.
@matigo not that I was technically liable for anything in the end due to the divorce order, but it’s nice not to have to deal with the courts to actually enforce that.
Meanwhile, I suspect there is some benefit to having a paid off home loan on my credit report.
As of two days ago, I no longer have a mortgage on a house I no longer own. Considering my ex-wife’s income and work history (or lack thereof), I doubt she’d qualify for a loan without her mother co-signing. Or her mother just paying the loan off.
Either way, it’s one less liability I have to worry about.
