Marrying for money

Quote from cashmoney69:

threads like these, along with looking at other peoples "relationships", just make me think that marriage is a crock of shit. Peoples values aren't the same and no one takes it seriously any more. American society made it acceptable.

this is true.

That is just insane. When you die everything will seize to exist. So why all this hyped up talk?

You won't have eyes to see, ears to hear, a mind to envision, a brain to think, and values are what you take to your grave when you die. [/QUOTE

seize to exist, wow grim realism, not true, thankfully.

On a trip to nyc I bought a nice pencil drawing of central park. I loved it. Brought it home and showed it to my wife, she hated it.

What would you do?........ Think.... She is not going to have this hanging in her house.....We could argue, n'est ce pas?

I fixed this pronto. I told her I am taking her to ny to the diamond district and she can pick out a ring (my price limit) then I'm going to take her to the bridge in that picture of central park and give her the ring & tell her I love her. We did this. This is now a very special picture for the both of us.

And now, every time you want to buy a painting or drawing, you'll have to get her a diamond ring as well...
By the way, is it her house or your(as in both) house?

I smell those girls all over Manhattan. Most of the traders and ibankers I associate with use them for what they are worth.

Yea, it's our house but,

I'll borrow a line from Dave Chappelle (I think).

I could live in a cardboard box, but women won't fvck unless they have a house or someplace warm preferably indoors.

Great story, you would have been better off throwing her off the bridge and buying a special frame for the pic to hang in YOUR house.

Nice line.
Now, imagine if the opposite happened: she went on a trip, bought a drawing (or something else) she liked very much, showed it to you, and you thought it was horrible (and actually told her so). Was she gonna hang it anyway? Give you a present to make it up to you?
Don't get me wrong, what you did was very slick, you were able to anchor something she didn't like to a special moment. But....
