Man buys house next to ex-wife, erects giant middle finger statue

WeRpeons

First off, why move next door to your ex to begin with?
'Ex' means just that, EX....time to move on

Exactly. What an idiot! If you don't like your ex that much, why would you want to torment yourself and move next door?

nothing helps a bad mood like spreading it around..(`~__~`)

If my partner were to cheat then they would no longer be even a thought in my mind ever again, done, this grown man is a child.....on the flip side, owner of 3 strip clubs, I've known one or two and I'm fairly confident he was getting some of his own as well, ex was likely just giving payback, this is just Jerry springer drama either way.

His daughter did bust him.
She posted the pics of the finger on twitter.
Why you'd think I would misrepresent that is beyond me.
Seeing conspiracies everywhere are we?

HAHA I'm sorry but I find it hilarious.

She cheated so she deserves some humiliation herself.

Everyone has their own way of dealing I guess....

I don't think he will have it up forever and I'm sure his point has been made.

I define that as a world class sense of humor!

Perhaps.

but that is a lot of emotional energy that guy has wasted on his ex wife. He is obviously still in pain and wants her to know it.

That's sad, really.

So even if he is wealthy beyond belief... he is still sad.

stupid git could give me the money and I could actually help people with it... god knows I've seen a lot of people in the past few weeks I would dearly love to help.

ahh but a lesson to his wife. yeap. she's learnt not to marry schizo wealthy pricks.. lol

Yes, this is how I see it now.
I'll admit, last night I was both outraged and amused by these antics.

1) A happy, contented wife doesn't cheat on a rich husband unless she's a gold digger...and this has not been established. So, it's fair to assume the husbands prior behavior was at least on par with his post-divorce behavior. I have known quite a few strip joint owners (through friends) and the liberties they take with their "staff" is unusual to say the least...but there's no proof this was the case either.

2) Following the wife after the divorce and moving in next to her is one step removed from stalking...but not illegal. The behavior is sociopathic.

3) Erecting the statue in the fashion that was done is one step below harrasment...but not illegal. The behavior is morally questionable at the very least.

How many of you would like to wake up living beside an ex who felt you did them wrong?
Why are so many people this quick to embrace revenge instead of the morally correct course of action?
Morals don't count if your feelings get hurt...is that how it works?
Do they only count for the other guy?
If someone acts without morals is that justification for anyone else to stop acting human?
Isn't that exactly what Obama's doing right now?

I too see a man in great pain but do any of us see the pain the wife is going through or went through before the divorce? How about the daughter then? Does her pain not count too?
I see no winners in this situation, only losers and his daughter loses the most of all.
Maybe this would be funny in a movie but seeing it play out in real life is distressing...however not as distressing as watching everyone else applaud his actions.
This is a very sad situation.

Evening.

O-M-G.
What is wrong with some people?
What has to happen for a human being to think this is acceptable?
What a dirtbag...there's nothing illegal about it but busted by his own daughter.
Yeesh.
Someone should submit him to Vice.com for "Crybaby of the Week".
What could possibly be said to a man that would go and do something like that?
Twelve feet tall...that ain't cheap.
Where did all this madness come from?

They live in Detroit....seems like an improvement to me.

Seriously, the man is a dweeb. His daughter is seeking attention by posting it on Twitter. Meanwhile, I feel like I am getting to see some of our good ol Southern trash making a splash up north.

He's digging a few lifetimes for himselves as lessons, perhaps coming back as a single mom who had to deal with an abusive man or something, (not hoping that for him mind you), but don't know why people don't think these things through and duck and dodge alot more, when they go through life being asshats and hurting someone.

If I was her, I'd put a huge bouquet of roses up in front of that, a big screen with climbing roses, and remind him of all the times my friend said, here's the rose (her middle finger), now here's the bouquet!

There's a whole back story to this.. The guys owns strip clubs.. It's not about the x.. It's the foul mouthed crap talking boyfriend he's provoking..

and he married a woman who screwed around on him.

I don't think we can speak highly of either party in this debacle. No wonder the daughter saw fit to air her parents dirty laundry to the world. She seems to have quite the cultural and genetic profile backing her.

You are assuming he did not screw around on her...with all those strippers at his disposal? Somehow me thinks not.

Well if she was unfaithful, I wonder if perhaps she was desperately looking for a friend to save her from an abusive relationship. A man running those kind of places is not a good guy, but black op type abuser of women, its repulsive, and the things would come to my mind is his sexual abuse of her, mistreating her, any number of things, that he would be almost satanic and ritualistic even.

I'm glad she got away.

Men who don't respect women shouldn't be around them, not even someone who is forced into prositution, and that is often the case.....

Every woman in our family spoke up, expected really positive frienships and equality, and burnt the few porno's that showed up for they are extreme violence, objectifying women and increase crimes against women. We don't approve of them. And any man that would argue about it wouldn't be welcome in our lives. My grandmother would have locked that kind of man out herself. And he would never have heard the end of it. She married a hero. A real man, who was her best friend.

While totally pathetic - its pretty funny for both sides

So you are going to make up facts not presented? Are we talking about what happened, or what you wanted to happen?

I am only assuming what is in the story. Not what isn't.

From the story, her current boyfriend is a loudmouth that provokes the ex husband.

Sounds like she has a history of picking real winners.

You are again assuming she screwed around on him. What if she left him then met current lover after the separation? Who is making up facts?

I am really not trying to be rude....but did you read the story? Or are you arguing for the sake of arguing?

From the OP's link (one of only 3 or 4 paragraphs)

Alan Markovitz recently moved into the home where the statue was erected, which happens to be next to the home where his ex-wife now lives with her new lover, whom she reportedly had an affair with while being married to Markovitz.

We are not getting the whole story here, were they separated but still married? I'm just trying to get to the truth of the matter and by deductive reasoning, or even plain common sense, there must have beena very good reason why she left him for another man.

Quote from his ex-wife:

She wrote: ‘How psychotic do you have to be to buy the house directly next to your ex wife and then put a statue up like that?!?! Real classy alan.’

Of course. They are both dysfunctional. It is the gist of my position here: they are both dysfunctional.

Your point of, "Well, he owns strip clubs...you can imagine the kind of guy he is". Which is a valid observation. The flip side: What kind of woman marries a man who owns strip clubs?

I am detecting a touch of misandry in your position. If you are going to use deductive reasoning, then you should deduce that we are essentially dealing with trash with cash. Both of them. Plain and simple.
