In the divorce, who gets to keep DU?

[prolesunited]

If you and your partner, who also posts on DU, split, does one of you leave? Which one? Or, do you both stay? How would you stop fights from spilling over?

[NightWatcher]

1. you can both stay on DU but if a (ex)marital spat flows over here...

...we'll all pop some popcorn and enjoy :)

[Gormy Cuss]

2. Based on a very spectacular breakup among DUers last year, I'd say

we don't care how you work it out, but please work it out somewhere other than HERE.

[Ptah]

18. I'll second that, Gormy Cuss

:scared:

[xchrom]

3. me -- it's in my pre-nup -- i get du

cause i don't want to miss any episodes of retro sexiness.

now i need a mr xchrom.

4. Use the ignore function.

That's what it's here for.

5. Hetero, or not?

If it's hetero, the woman gets the DU but the man gets visitation rights.
One week end a month and every other holiday.
If it's a gay couple, I dunno.

6. Why would the woman get DU?

7. Why would it matter

if they were Hetro or not? Or gay or not?

:shrug:

8. I agree with Gormy Cuss. Otherwise its the big TS all around.

9. Hedges and I have joint custody.

Surprisingly, the "how would stop fights from spilling over?" question can be answered thusly: We are both grown-ups. (Yes, even Hedges, at least when it comes to this.) When one party (or both) is not, you have problems.

10. DU is mine

There is a reason to keep business and pleasure separate.

:)

[prolesunited]

11. So is DU

business or pleasure?

[Nicole]

12. Joint custody.

Put each other on ignore & it should work out o.k.

[Deja Q]

13. Lemme get into a relationship first.

Or, the day I think there's no point, see if I can find anyone who can give me a good healthy bug of death. :P

14. If two people live in the same city, does one have to move to another city?

On the other hand, with what I've seen here, I'd suggest everyone pack up and move out. To the Kingdom of Far Far Away.

15. If HEyHEY ever leaves me he'd BETTER not fuckin' show his face around here again.

:grr:

[XNASA]

16. Whoever is coming out ahead at the time. You know.....

To even things out.

;)

17. It has happened on here.

I think if people were mature and considerate of others (which they sadly are not), they would refrain from gloating and acting like jerks to the ousted party in the relationship. I have seen examples of people who obviously are not mature enough or secure enough in their "new" relationship to manage to avoid being nasty and hateful. So sad.

And no, I am not, nor have I ever been, involved with anyone on DU.
