I (Don't) Think I Love You!

Danny Bonaduce, the former Partridge Family TV star whose life and battles with alcoholism were depicted ad nauseum in the reality show, "Breaking Bonaduce," received a less than stellar review from his wife, Gretchen, when she filed for divorce after 16 years of marriage.

No word if there is a show in the offering titled "Divorcing Bonaduce."

A new law will allow Japanese women to choose freedom over an unhappy marriage. Historically, Japanese women had two choices: stay, or leave with nothing. For the first time, they now have a third option ... and no, it's not Hari Kiri!

At times I’m amazed at the lethargic pace of societies in embracing women as real humans with real qualities and values and purpose. Women have fought for years in America for equality in society, often at times when society held similar arcane views of gender superiority and inferiority.

Even though Paul McCartney might not excitedly cheer along with this particular blog right at this particular point in his life (and many of us wouldn't blame him), we should look at these advances as milestones in the evolution of all mankind/womankind and cheer, support, blog, email, etc etc! It means, in so many ways that world societies are evolving, don't you think?

Marie, the only sister to the singing Osmond Brothers has found that "Paper Roses" is not just a song title, but also a metaphor for her 20-year marriage to Music Producer Brian Blosil, which is now ending after 20 years.

To combat the 33% rate of divorce in Poland, lawmakers have proposed a fee structure based on the couples accumulated marital assets. Rather than the cost of a good pair of shoes, divorce may get extremely expensive based on the couple's net worth. No word on how this will affect the cost of a good mistress.

Judge Determines Fear of Murder, Cruel and Unusual Punishment, and a Wall Dividing the family home are not enough to consider granting Divorce. The case was dismissed after the Jury returned a denial of divorce petition. The Not So Happy couple responded by immediately racing to another court to file restraining orders against each other. No word on their plans for Passover.

Judd husband, Dan E. Roach, was arrested on Tuesday for inappropriately fondling a 13 year old. Wynonna has filed to divorce him … She presently has no comment — but is probably writing a country and Western ballad as we speak.

Adding Insult to Almost Fatal Injury

A man who tried to get out of paying his ex-wife $2400 per month in alimony was ordered to continue doing so by the court, in spite of the fact that (he charged) his wife had hired someone to kill him. The justification by the court was had she succeeded, her monthly payments would stop, so such action couldn’t be seen as motivated by profit.

No word on whether or not he had to reimburse her for ammunition.

The bad news is Le Quang Tien was ordered to pay his wife $64 million in the priciest divorce settlement in Vietnam’s history.

The good news — he might now have a good shot at being adopted by Angelina Jolie.

A new E-book creates templates to tell children about divorce in a child-friendly way. Included in these templates are vital and supportive messages, such as:

You are loved
You will be safe
You are not to blame
We will always be your Mom and Dad
You're father's girlfriend is a whore

Well, maybe not the last one.
