Divorce drama rant

[taralei]

My husband and I are separated right now, after he threw me out and said he wanted our marriage annuled. He said that he would be suing me for the wedding rings. I don't have them, I left them at his house last I can remember seeing them. Fast forward a few days, I went to give him a few things he accidentally packed in with my things and to get my photo album that he missed. He told me that he doesn't want this anymore, he doesn't want to be without me etc.

 

But his mother is still going to sue me for the rings because she says one of the diamonds in the engagement ring is hers. He then goes on to tell me that he will only ask his mother to drop the lawsuit if I come back to him, and that he won't do anything to stop it if I choose not to go back to him. Thank you for giving me yet another reason to go through with the separation.

 

How dare he allow his mother to throw herself in the middle of OUR marriage problems and unnecessarily complicate things all for the sake of money? I didn't ask him for a damn thing and I don't want one red cent from him or his mother. SO done. ugh

Wow that's a new one. As far as I can see it:

 

If she gave your husband the diamond, and he then gave you the ring, there's nothing his mother can do about it.

 

If he stole the diamond from her, then she could sue *him* for it - but not you.

 

Whatever, if someone gives you a gift (and especially a wedding ring!) I'm sure there is no court that would insist you give it back (unless you had conned him into marrying you). A gift is a gift.

 

They sound a bit bonkers to me, I hope you can get the divorce sorted out quickly.

Get yourself as far away from that trash family as possible. Sounds like a bad episode of The People's Court.
