Not hardly. Never been married. Never will be unless I am dying and get married so that my long-time partner, who happens to be the ex of a guy I used to ride with regularly, might get a survivor benefit from my pension plan.I am spouse-free, dependent-free and, after paying off my mortgage last month, debt-free. The peace of mind is priceless.

A co-worker of mine got divorced in NJ. Unless he can get the decree modified, he'll be paying alimony for the rest of his life unless his ex remarries.
