RE DISCOVERY

managing the corporation

A couple weeks ago on an episode of "Bullshit" (Showtime) there was a radio jock talking about why you shouldn't get married. His point went something like, "Your life and finances are a corporation. Yesterday, you owned 100% of your "corporation," today you own 50%. If you ever get divorced, she still owns 50% of your corporation plus you write out an additional check and give it to her. Now, how is that fair? It's not." Yikes.

It did get me thinking, though about my situation and my "corporation." The corporation has some issues to work out. Debt to pay off and a child that needs rearing, education and a stable environment are the two biggest issues. Another big one is V's career and stability. After all, the poke in my pocketbook would be less - much less - if V had a career that paid as much, if not more, than my job does. Or, if we stay together, we've developed a "corporation" that is at least debt free, if not financially independent or even wealthy.

How's that for taking a relationship of a decade and reducing it to a mission statement?

And, if anyone's keeping track, V and I have been getting along these days. Although, it seems more like roommates with occasional affection. Granted, I haven't been in the mood. But, she just doesn't make an effort to tease, flirt, entice or attract me. She just asks why I don't show affection toward her.

F. was very depressed last week. She's taken her H back but doesn't feel the love. Her friends are supportive but tell her to stick with her family. She doesn't seem happy at all and I haven't heard much from her.

so... whatya think?
