Answer 8

Two minus one leaves at least one person asking* where did it all go wrong?

Dos menos uno quedan... por lo menos un(o)a persona siguiendo pedir ¿Cómo ha fallado la base en nuestro matrimonio?

or, continuing* to ask

Please note: I realize/am sensitive to the fact . that in using humourous captions to illustrate this picture/photo many of us are touching on areas in people's lives that are painful so amidst the humour I also wanted to interject the reminder that divorce leaves behind pain and suffering, and like war, no-one really wins in a divorce, least of all the children !

Answer 11

Si conozco a las mujeres, ella probablemente se está yendo con otro hombre y una bolsa llena de dinero de su anterior esposo

If I know women, she is probably going to the next man with a bag full of money from her former husband.

Es broma. No me mates.

Notes:

• Está yendo instead of Va for is going.
• Si conozco a las mujeres VS Conocer las mujeres. (knowing women.......Does this work?.)
• Lo próximo hombre VS el próximo hombre. A el próximo seems too awkward. Gracias.

• Favor de corregir la multitud de problemas. Gracias. ¿Alguien puede chequear mis notas para ver si están correctos? Me gustaria saber esto. - jeezzle Jul 7, 2010
• If it's just 'knowing' wouldn't it be 'conociendo' instead of 'conocer'? - Kiwi_Girl Jul 7, 2010
• ..se está yendo con otro hombre y una bolsa llena de dinero de su anterior esposo.¡¡ Jeez ,eso también se llama " instinto de supervivencia":)))) - melipiru Jul 7, 2010
