Trading and Marriage Don't Mix???

It really did not become an issue from the early '90s until the mid 2000's as I was always trading downtown in the Chicago loop or the North Side - either on the floor or in a trading group office on the screen.

In the mid-2000's I started my own LLC, built out a really substantial home office with dedicated high speed lines and three work stations and twelve monitors and started trading and consulting from home - and that was the point in time where my soon-to-be former wife started really resenting things. She was ( and is ) jealous and hostile dependent on the income. She demanded that she quit her job at IBM. She didn't know what she would do with all that time on her hands ( kids are teenagers ), but she felt entitled. The term is called hostile dependency. She became very bitter and resentful.
 
After a while nothing mixes in marriage .

Also depends on the wife

Some will nag you for not working so hard

Some will nag you for working too hard

Othes will nag you on Monday for working till late and will nag you on Tuesday for coming home too early .

Backtesting does work with women either and forward testing is not accurate .

Good Luck .

PS As I said what she didnt care about 3 years ago she might try to take advantage of or resent 3 years after . You never know.

As a matter of fact, my fiance birthday is on Oct 27th. Mine is on July 27th. Separated there are 93 days between the two dates. Funny you should bring that up. Fate or coincidence. It doesn't matter. The only thing that matter is I'm profitable and you're not.

Numbers do not have magical properties. They do not ontologically exist in nature.

Bone's story was actually quite interesting. Hostile dependency due to envy and materialism rather than empathy

Yeah, but here is where lies the problem Most (if not all) hot young attractive girls are materialistic and childlike is what I've found through dating. If you want a hot young attractive woman you kind of have no choice but to put up with it. My fiance is hot young and attractive and materialistic as well. I can't be attracted to a whale.

.... and those who aren't materialistic while dating, almost always become materialistic once you're married. My income and the demands on my income have tripled in the last three years.

I don't know. The two really successful and edifying relationships I've had more to do with mutually recognizing the humanity of the other person without judgment. Categorizing people in order to understand how to relate to them never turns out well in the end. But that's just me. And the number 42.
