The Editorial Board has seen its share of divorces. No, not personally, but we've lived through our parents' separations or seen dozens of our friends trudge through it.
Staying at one house during the week and another house on the weekend can be a real emotional pain in the ass, especially for little kids. What we haven't heard of, though, is going to visit your post-divorce pop in the same exact house Mom still lives in. A little confusing, right?
A Cambodian couple who had been married for 18 years recently decided to call it quits, and, as part of the divorce settlement, the husband said he wanted to keep half of the house. So, rather than simply gathering up half of their belongings and hitting the road, he rounded up some of his relatives and a few saws and literally cut the house in half.
Most people look stupid enough storming out of their houses empty-handed. They're usually yelling at the person still inside the house, relying on pure emotion to win an argument, but they end up sounding crazy.
Imagine screaming at your soon-to-be ex-wife while stomping across the lawn with part of your dining room under your arm. We appreciate your conviction, angry Cambodian ex-husband, but what are you going to do with half a house?
We suggest putting it on eBay. You might get lucky and find a woman from Chicago willing to give you about $2 for it.
