The "D" word...Has audio ever caused it?

It's not the divorce that hurts, it's those damn alimony checks that are the real killers. The better question to my mind is: how can one make payments and at the same time continue to build a decent system? Many recently divorced have said learning to budget right after their divorce is one of the hardest parts.

No i'm single but infidelity with a girlfriend cost me a total system back in the 80s.

a few years ago, an apparent audiophile in the denver area ended up both divorced and imprisoned, based at least in part on his compulsive purchases of audio gear (and cars, rare wines, etc.). seems this fellow, an auditor for a hotel chain, embezzled millions of $$ over the years, which he used to buy an incredible array of goodies. he had so much audio and video stuff that most was in storage. his (former) wife and the audio dealers who naturally adored him believed his claims to be a trust funder whose "job" was merely something with which to keep busy. for him, i'm sure, compulsory restitution is much more hurtful than alimony. -kelly

Was not the cause but when I left I departed with only my clothes and my gear and I shudder to think of the system I could have amassed if I had stayed and hadn't payed the support I have over the last 8 years... Nah it was worth it

What about that poor guy that posted a while back and said his ex took his vinyl collection as part of the de vorce, not because she wanted it, but because he loved it. He said she threw all the records in a dumpster. I suppose it doesn't matter what she did with them, either way he lost them, but how's that for harsh!
