Divorces, Women, and Credit: NSFW

We’ve Got You Covertured

Exactly.
Precisely. This. God blessed me with the gift of grabbing credit with
my first paying job (my big fat $103 a week summer job) and that plus
student loans paid off constitutes credit. Then a good friend and lawyer
Pamela pulled me strongly aside when my divorce started and said firmly "Women
make out of divorces financially worse than men. Watch yourself." So I
did.
Fortunately
(this gets good, hang in here), I had pulled the REVERSE trick as this
article describes on my ex-to-be. I had the credit and had put HIS name
on one of MY cards. When he moved out early in the divorce and "wanted
to pay his own bills" I agreed to let him keep the credit card in his
wallet *for emergencies*.
I also knew that this MF passes out after...well...please fill in the blank. We were married.
I also knew he had a girlfriend...oh oh oh, make that She's-Just-A-Friend. Right.
I cancelled that card immediately because access to my credit plus girlfriend equals problems, ammiright?
But
didn't tell him for a year. Finally the day came when he was ready to
ceremoniously give me the card back. That's when I told him it was a
cancelled card anyway.
Ah, that was sweet. Don't frack with me. Or my credit. ðŸ˜
