Notice how I didn't call her "my witch of an ex-wife" or accuse her of keeping me away from the kids or anything like that! This is both because that would perpetuate the stereotype of women being liars who trick men into marriage to get their money, and because avoiding such bitterness makes me look like a nice, sympathetic person that any hypothetical audience would root for rather than a jerk who deserves his comeuppance.
