What are you angry about today?

Not where I live it isnt.

stryofoam cups, chips containers etc are now banned as are plastic straws. And single use plastic shopping bags - you bring your own or buy paper or re usable ones at the checkout.

I do have a re usable travel coffee cup that I use wherever possible.

It isn’t permitted here either. The takeout places have switched to different containers. No plastic bags. Once we had to purchase another reusable bag, amazingly folks started remembering to bring theirs.

First, in Canada, that house you bought would be half his, because it was the matrimonial home, even if his name wasn’t on the deed. Half of your pension would be his; likewise half of his pension would be yours. I suspect his is much higher. Bank accounts would be split. Those are just the starters. Even inheritances could be divided. Possessions would be split. If you had pets, he could demand them.

The only thing that might stop these divisions of possessions would be a pre-marital agreement and even that can be disputed.
 

Interesting thread in that it presumes people have something to be angry about - not a presumption I would make. Call me a Pollyanna, but I presume most people have far more reasons to be happy than angry.

Sure, we all have moments of righteous anger, and should deal with the situations that cause them, but deliberately stoking personal fires of anger, disappointment, thwarted expectations or resentment? That path seems to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. The madder you choose to be, the more reasons you find to be annoyed. Conversely, the happier you are, the more reasons you find to be happy.

So to answer the question, what am I angry about today? Absolutely nothing.
 
I think frustrated would be more accurate. My cell phone ran out of data so I called ATT to buy another year of data. Apparently the bank flagged it, which then made ATT flag it, and it won't go through. IF there were a person to talk to at ATT we could straighten this out. It is frustrating having to talk and deal with robots that do not get the job done. I just don't have phone service for a day but trying to talk to the robot just got to be too much!

yes the house is not his here... because it was bought by me 20 years before he moved in.....the pensions are supposed to be half of each...however he's drawn down on his pensions which are substantial and hidden the majority of the money...

Possessions are supposed to be split but he's 'sold '' his high end vehicle..supposedly.. which he bought during the marriage near the end.. and my car is not worth anything much

We have no pets or expensive jewellery... so apart from my house not being half his that's pretty much the same..

However..it's not as clear cut as this because financially both of us only have to show evidence of money ( bank statements ) for the last 12 months so in the interim which was 3 years since he left.. and 2 years before he instigated divorce procedures he has had a lot of time to get rid of money... ... if I want to prove anything different I would have to employ a forensic accountant...

I of course knew none of this until the divorce proceedings were underway

I am less likely to be angry if I skip watching the news. Sometimes I think how can you not be angry?

That's why it was a timely thread for me. I'm usually pretty happy but I happened to have two incidents today that I was glad to vent about. I feel better. BTW kids have called and texted. My Vidalia Onion dressing turned out good.
All is well.
I wish the outcomes were as easy for others.
 
Not angry yet, mostly annoyed. My back neighbors are being predictably loud. I was hoping to rest today but I've had to record them, which was annoying.

I've spent too much of my life being angry at them. I'm working on letting go of the anger while still reporting them as much as warranted. Easier said than done though.
