and you. Often prenups are invalidated.
Just a few anecdotes:
CONCLUSION:
- I was always intrigued by trading, but did not spend a lot of time in it. But one day I discovered that I had more pleasure sitting in front of my PC and screen then in sitting (or lying) with my wife. She was like an iceberg. I mean cold, not big sized.
- During our marriage she never worked, had a cleaning woman, a gardener and her own car. I made the money.
- One day she wanted to go in therapy to save our marriage. For more than 1 year we went weekly to some psychologist. Then suddenly this psychologist proposed my to spent less time in trading. For me that was strange. Why did this proposal come suddenly out of the blue?
- I started to review the therapy and found out that this psychologist was specialized in therapy for gambling addicted people. So the aim was not to save the marriage but to stop the trading. I chose instantly for the trading and divorced. As we were married with a prenuptial contract, she left with no money.
- My ex had to find a job, but had no education. So she had to start working in an elderly home changing diapers on old people and washing them.
- As she had no money she immediately started to look for a man who could support her financially. In 2 years time she had relations with 5 different men. But each time it went wrong after a few weeks. I found out that money was the problem. Her best friend was married with a very close friend from me. He told that she first tried to catch a man with sex. This started successfully till she asked the man to pay part of a flat for her. They all ran away one after another. In the end the first candidate came back and agreed to pay.
- I am now married again for 10 years with a Ukrainian woman, 16 years younger than me. She is... Psychologist.
While my first wife is washing old people and putting them new diapers on, my second wife is chilling in the Italian sun on the border of our swimming pool. The first one had problems with the opportunity cost of trading, the second one not. So it shows clearly that you should always make the right choice, or trust me as I made the choice not they.
Great story. Very thoughtful, thx for sharing. Props for standing your ground as a trader, and kudos for finding new woman. Well played.
You sound like an interesting, smart person. With principles.
why do they do this. just move on yeah...
edit: oh shit, your story was you choosing trading over your wife... so in effect you "let her go" as well. So I guess some women really don't like being dumped.
Are you sure... You should ask my ex.
To be fair, I am the one who wanted the divorce, it upset her and it took her nearly a decade to get over it.
Sure about what? That there are two sides to the story in a divorce? Or that usually both spouses have at least some fault for the failed marriage?
What would you like for me to ask your ex?
It sounds to me that you are saying she was pissed at you for initiating a divorce. Some people come after you when they are angry. Why do you seem surprised?
Maybe she took the marriage vows seriously? I don’t know. Shit happens in life. Things change, feelings change. Marriage is for suckers. I never bought into it.
Marrying the right woman is worth 10s of millions of dollars. Marrying the wrong woman is -10s of millions of dollars.
Right, according to her there is only one side at fault. I don't know if marriage is for suckers. I think that men go into marriage too lightly, too much "hope".
Marrying the right woman is worth 10s of millions of dollars only if she comes with 10s of millions of dollars. Come on, man. You are making me think your wife reviews all your posts.
The right woman doesn’t insist on marriage. She will stay with you regardless of the legal status of the relationship. She doesn’t cajole, threaten to leave, give ultimatums, etc., to get you to include the state in the relationship.
Marriage only makes sense if there is a legal advantage for it, such as for immigration, tax planning, medical POA, etc., or maybe when children are involved. Kids are unable to understand concepts like legal fiction. They just want to fit in with their peer group.
Wisdom, wisdom, wisdom.
