Between 40 and 50 percent of marriages will end in divorce. I could really care less about numbers, but they do hold some significance in understanding the downfall of my marriage, and the evolution of craziness that rose out of my ex. Some women seem fine at first, but when you get to know them, their inner evil will surely rise. Looking back, I don’t know what the hell I was thinking. I realize now that all I needed was to ask myself some brutally honest questions about the broad before I decided to put a ring on it. I imagine that most failed marriages result in part to our lack of honesty with ourselves and being open to asking those introspective questions from the beginning. So I wonder, have you asked yourself the right questions? The couples whose marriages end in divorce certainly didn’t, and instead of repeating this cycle of insanity, I thought I’d offer some advice on a few important things to consider before the “for better or for worse, for rich or poor” routine. Let’s be honest, it usually ends with “worse” and “poor.” So listen up guys! Whether you’re considering marriage for the first time or thinking about round two, these questions should help you figure out if she is actually crazy. Have you Googled her or ran a criminal background check? In our super-connected world this has become a pretty standard routine when beginning a new relationship. So, if you’re not familiar with Facebook, Twitter or Google then you have some work to do. After all, it would be embarrassing to find out from your family that your soon-to-be wife was a former porn star or serial killer (unless you’re into that sort of thing). Have you purchased enough “man toys” to keep you entertained for the rest of your life? I hate to sound cliché but, this is very true when it comes to marriage. The whole “what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine” mentality will certainly work against you my friend, it did for me. So, if you have any aspirations of buying that new truck, going to the Super Bowl, signing up for NFL Sunday tickets or dreaming of having a “man cave,” make sure you nail down those details prior to the nuptials. If she doesn’t express any objections to you having these things, you should consider yourself lucky. Are you interrogated every time you try to step out the front door? I’m sure that you’ve all experienced this scenario. “Where are you going? Who will you be with? When will you be home? Make sure your cell phone is on so I can call you. Will there be other women there?” And my personal favorite “Can I go?” And then, while you’re out with the guys and you don’t hear your phone ring, you get a psycho text or worse, a voicemail, from her demanding that you call her. What the hell? The bottom line is that you’re entitled to time with your buds and if she’s not cool with that then you should seriously consider cutting the cord. Does she check your texts, emails and Facebook regularly? Dude, really? You might as well bend over and take one from Sebastian Janikowski ‘s size 13’s. Consider this a big red flag that you’re dating an insecure and controlling nut-job. What’s her credit score? Ok, so you’ve made it past all of the other questions without any big concerns… In a crappy economy the last thing you want to do is attach yourself to a screwed up financial situation. Before you say “I do” make sure that she’s not swimming in debt.. You do not need the financial burden of some chick’s obsessive shopping habits. Besides, how could you ever give up your beer fund or MNF betting cash? I rest my case. If you still don’t get it, check out the stories below and read about some other dudes who are still dealing with crazy exes. I know that you will reconsider your dating habits before it happens to you or, if you are dating or married, before her inner Godzilla ruins your personal life and your bank account. If for some reason this blog didn’t get the message across and you do end up with a crazy ex, we would be stoked if you shared your story here. Remember, speak now or forever hold your grief! -The Gang
