At the end of my first marriage, My ex pounded the piss out of me right on a main street where I lived. I just pushed her away when I got tired of the smackdown. 3 days later, a cop shows up at my door with a summons. She had the nerve to call the police and press charges. I had spent a night in the local ER getting xrayed and 3 days out of work and I get arrested.
When we went to court, My lawyer is playing footsies with the Asst DA. Over pillowtalk, they decided the case had no merit and in court , the case was dismissed. My lawyer wanted me to file a countersuit. I said no. But I took the tags off of her vehicle and cancelled the insurance just after i left court on a Friday. Maybe she shouldn't have called My parents as her witnesses. Never was the brightest bulb on the tree. That was 24 years ago. been married 21 years to new wife. I still won't strike a woman. No matter what.
