Well, Adam, this “friend” of yours may have needed to upgrade from “girlfriend of 11 years” to maybe…oh, I dunno…”girlfriend of maybe 3 years and then wife for the last 8 years”.
Then again, she’d get half of everything then, so…maybe he knows what he was doing.
I’ll shut up now.
If you’re the friend of a struggeling artist you tend to be in the same financial boat as said artist so, I don’t think she would gain much by getting half of nothing…
But, I agree. She probably got tired of waiting for the ring.
So the guy managed to keep his girlfriend for 11 years, then they finally decided to get married – after three years they got divorced.
And this girl was very happy with her boyfriend for like 8 years, then they married and after 5 years her beloved husband got a very early midlife crisis and left her, his whole circle of friends AND his family behind to start over. I don’t know anybody who still has contact to him.
Partnered with someone for six years, stayed married to him for just over one. The marriage was his idea, supposedly to “fix problems in our relationship”. I had no idea that’s why he wanted to marry me until after he asked for a divorce, and he refused to tell me what problems would have been magically solved by exchanging vows.
A marriage is only as healthy as the people in it. While “Put a Ring On It” was a catchy tune, the concept is by no means a cure-all.
This is kind of dark… I love it.
Reminiscent of the classic Pink panther cartoons!
Hurray! Themed week announcement! *smiles on a Monday morning*
Whoohoo, theme week, time to pick a fight with the missus to see if this weeks strip does the trick.
Aw Adam, do you just break up with someone? Sorry to hear that. Good thing you can turn it into something hilarious.
Nah, I think he wants the audience to break-up with someones to see if his break-up comics will do the trick!
Not that I doubt it wouldn’t, but it’s really hard to break-up with my computer…
Actually, no. A friend of mine, whose girlfriend of eleven years just left him, made this request.
ah ha!
“Girlfriend of eleven years.” That could have been the problem. (And I don’t mean I think she’s 11 years old.)
Eleven years and then she broke up with him? Poor guy.
I was left by my better half after 10 years, so yeah, I can relate.
Ooh, ouch! Best of luck to your friend.
Just to be clear: In all his sadness, he requested to be made fun of?
Nope.
You know, I’m paying for this.
SO. PROUD.
Time to play “Everybody Plays The Fool” by The Main Ingredient.
How ya doin Adam?
I am a professional at this
I recommending drinking. lots and lots of drinking. (When My wife left I went through over 300 dollars in booze in a week drinking at home.)
This promises to be a good one.
Yes. Choking your chicken seems like a good way to get over a woman.
Ha-ha! I knew that comment like that would be unavoidable.
*like!*
reminds me of an informercial/”hey you” commercials… or the “duck amuck” looney toons episode

Two stories from some friends of mine:
