I don’t know why men get blamed for woman not working. I know plenty of woman that don’t work and have no desire to work. My guess is that if they don’t need to most people would prefer not to work.
Outside of a very small group of people, once your dead no one is going to care that you were VP, CEO, Senior Partner at ABC & D.

I was at lunch the other day and the woman sitting next to me was telling her friend that now her last kid was going off to college her husband wanted her to get a job. Her response was, “I have an outdated degree and I am not starting a career at nearly 48 if I don’t need to and I am not going to get an hourly position at pottery barn.” I can’t say I really disagree with her.

Wow. I gotta say, I would be pretty ticked off if I were the husband. Basically wife is saying, "I did my job of raising kids so now I get to "retire" but you get to keep working so as to support us in the lifestyle to which I am now accustomed."

Again if they have the money is there anything wrong with that ?

Why can’t he retire? There is nothing wrong with him saying he is done either. I bet she’s the one who wants the nice income, not him.

I have no problem with her saying she is done working if he gets to say the same. But the women who are “done” somehow never mean that.

No one is saying he can’t retire too. This whole thread is about rich people not high income.

When you’re talking about wealthy men being able to throw their money around and attract the kind of beautiful and accomplished women who would normally be out of reach to them, we’re talking about tens of millions. They’re all business owners of some sort.

the comment with the most common sense. the majority of people on this forum and in general don’t know anyone with *real wealth* and it shows.

I’m a big fan of pre-nups (think almost everyone should have them) but you don’t seem to understand the basics of a pre-nup.

I have one and am very familiar. I know all about both parties needing to disclose assets and have counsel for it to be legally enforceable.

So then you know competent counsel doesn’t let their clients waive alimony unless there are offsets. There’s no prenup of “completely impoverish her as soon as you’re done screwing her” that a court won’t throw out.

Attorney’s will advise. In Maryland an alimony waiver will be enforced unless the spouse is likely to be a public charge. Please look up the case law on Google Scholar.

What’s the point of marring a rich guy with a prenup you describe ? She will be better off on herself . A smart young woman won’t sign it and will move on ; the guy will be left with his pick of not very smart baristas

Why all the sneering at baristas?

I think that barista is code for “woman who is attractive, but not well educated or ambitious.”
I think she is a barista because she is based on Rachel from the first season of Friends.

Ok, why the sneering at women who are not well educated?

I don’t really see a lot of sneering.

Education isn’t important to everyone, and that’s fine. But you can’t marry someone who thinks that education and school aren’t important and then expect them to teach your kids to study hard and agree to spend tens of thousands on their college education.

Wow, that’s not pompous at all. Folks, your kids will learn to study hard only if their mom has multiple degrees. Because other women must think that education isn’t important.

Why do you think it’s pompous for PP to say it’s unreasonable to expect somebody who doesn’t care about education to invest substantial time and resources into…education?

Go to any bar. The guy buying rounds of drinks for the women is the ones walking home with them.

I don’t feel like a $20 drink is the difference between wealth and poverty for most men. I think men who are generous do better with women than the ones who resent paying for drinks/dates.
