Still married. Going on 30 years. Cannot afford the divorce.

You just haven't met the man to totally sweep you off your feet.

You are not romantic enough then.

Who cares about paperwork?

When the right one comes and you feel all tingly, paperwork should be the least of your concerns!!!

Maybe it is just the passionate Cuban in me speaking out. But a calculated, passionless life just ain't worth the trouble.

Give me passion, give me love, give me a red convertible...(oops, did I write that???).

...400 suspects released, 400 prisoners in custody, 10 indictments, 0 convictions.

Oops, got this one confused with the Guantanamo Bay thread.

Actually I was just kidding about that. If I was truly unhappy with my marriage I'd leave, no matter what the financial cost.

Rather be poor and happy than rich and miserable.

For me, the times when I've been closest to calling it quits it has not been the financial pain that has kept me hanging around. Rather, it has been the pain of not being able to see my children ALL the time that has made me rethink my unhappiness.

Besides, after 30 years, who else would put up with me, warts and all?

It is not easy living with an irascible Cuban. So we hang on to what we got.
