“I have to find a dress.”

“For what?”

“My dad’s wedding.”

“Ohhh.”

I’ve had a variation on this conversation for the past year. Obviously, not always with the dress, but somehow, my dad’s impending wedding seems to come up in casual conversation once in awhile, leading things to be awkward. I get the occasional sympathy, the gloss over, the interrogation and even the shared personal stories of divorce and remarriage. Yes, my dad is getting remarried. To wife #3. I am a product of wife #2, aka my mother, the saint, and wife #1 was short-lived and a complete unknown to me.

I dealt with my parents’ divorce throughout senior year of high school and tried to handle it the best I could. Now I need to deal with my dad walking down the aisle.

Don’t eff with a lady in love. Yesterday, a woman in Japan was arrested for killing her husband after he divorced her.

Did I mention that this was a virtual couple? Yeah, they were married online. And she killed him online (and by killed I mean deleted his account).

“I was suddenly divorced, without a word of warning. That made me so angry,” the bitter (online) housewife stated.

Two words: Crazy Biatch. It is pretty clear why this woman had to turn to the interwebs to find a mate.

So, now the woman is in custody and could face some jail time or a serious fine. This guy is just lucky he didn’t meet her in the real world.
