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.

I disagree with your post.

my wife has added immeasurable value to my life: in the home we have built, the family we have grown, and the wealth we have generated.

a good woman will support you when you need it. Of course such a woman will want you to support her as well. That’s a proper symbiotic relationship.

and you are right, the right woman should t have to cajole, threaten, etc. if that’s been your experience, I feel for you and understand why you would be jaded. But then maybe you have been meeting the wrong women.

This is like asking a guy who won the lottery if it was a good idea to buy the ticket.

At the very least, you expect a woman to be as you describe if you bring in millions like you do. And sure, maybe you didn't always make this, but I'm sure she saw the potential in you.

The same woman you have would be completely different if you weren't as successful as you are. They are all built the same and they all have the same firmware. Whether she runs the "miserable wife" firmware code who will make the husband pay will depend on how well you manage to keep her happy. Half of the time, even keeping her happy will actually be your downfall.

So although picking the right one is critical, it's all still a crapshoot, and your current state of bliss is more on you and your success than on her. Don't kid yourself about your magical ability to choose wisely.
 
Well, let’s be honest. There are two sides to the story. A divorce usually is not the fault of just one spouse.

I don't agree.

There are three different possibilities:
  • he was guilty
  • she was guilty
  • they were guilty
My wife is psychologist and specialized in the area of marriage and sexual problems in relation.
According to her, the cause of problems can go from extreme guilt for the man, over both guilty to extreme guilt for the woman. each case is different.
 
Marrying the right woman is worth 10s of millions of dollars. Marrying the wrong woman is -10s of millions of dollars.

I realized that only after I dated/married my second wife. I then only realized how horrible my first marriage was and how good the second one is. I refused to marry for 7 years with my second wife because of the traumatic experience with the first one.
I had a very negative opinion about women in general due to my personal experience. After my divorce I dated many women (lost the count but sure more than 30 as I was apparently an interesting party) and some had the same pattern of behavior: being kind and friendly and to get quick the result they wanted several of them proposed to have sex on the first date. That was always a red flag, although I never refused their proposition.:D

Luck plays a factor.

But there are many good women out there. There are also many bad women.

I’m sorry if you haven’t experienced it. Someone who pushes you to be better but supports you in the battle.

Yes, never spoil them. And don't ever tell them exactly how much money you have in your trading accounts. If you must then understate it.
Although you might trust your partner today, 5 or 10 years from now she could be a very different person.

I had no problem dating again, but I had a similar reaction in that I didn't trust myself to find good women.

First date fuck = second date cancelled.

Didn't refuse the first date fuck either lol.
 
As a test based on the discussion here, I tried to go further than the usual 4k the past couple of days by trading more. It was a bad idea. Both days ended up more than 4k (5k on Thursday, 8k today) but it was very difficult. I'm going to stick to the 4k and maybe ONLY size up beginning of next month. I've been encouraged to feel comfortable sizing up by Overnight and a couple others and I have been keeping a close eye on volume. There is no way I'll be detected. Then I should just automatically hit better numbers.

Love u guys.

Hey now...Remember the caveats of sizing up. If you are making those bones of 4K to 6K per day, do NOT change a thing. That is plenty for now.

Do NOT size up any further than you have been until we have a better directional line via the Fed.

I won't change anything other than size. Everything else will be the same. I do not believe it will be problematic tbh.
