It’s like I’m in my 20s again. I don’t need the baggage and loss of my independence that comes with marriage. And it seems as soon as young women (late 20s and early 30s) see you’re financially secure, have a head on your shoulders, and willing to spoil them a little, they are very giving. I plan to enjoy this for the foreseeable future.
Until you meet someone in her late twenties or early thirties who is self-assured, beautiful, and smart, and she wants to get married and have kids, and you know you're already out of your depth. This happened to a friend/colleague who had sworn off remarriage. However, he was still handsome, fit, high energy, high net-worth, and at the peak of his career, so he attracted some impressive women, and eventually one that he felt was too good to let go, and they had more kids. It is unclear whether he's happy, but he does project a happy family life, and his wife is hot. I think there are a lot of versions of this story out there: men in their late forties who have the resources end up getting sucked in because they're desirable and can pull high-quality women who have high standards and want marriage. Women in our late forties don't want to be responsible for raising children anymore. We've had enough, and we screen out men who are looking for a sugar mamma and a stepmom to take over their parenting responsibilities for us.
Guy here…I mostly fit that profile but looks are subjective so I’ll leave that judgement to the women I date. But if I ever thought about getting married again to a woman like you describe above….I would make sure to have an airtight pre-nup that was lawyer proof.
Lmao.
Lawyer here.
Are there still men out there who think a “lawyer proof” prenup exists?
I specialize in highly contentious divorces between high net worth individuals and I exclusively represent wives because my mom was a housewife who got screwed and I’m playing out my own revenge narrative against my hated father by divorce-raping husbands up and down the northeast. (I’ve been to therapy and I’m now in touch with my actual motives for doing this work.)
Here’s what I do with “lawyer proof” prenups:
First, I challenge the circumstances under which the prenup was signed. Fraud, duress, you name it. Regardless of the merits of the allegations, I can drag out proceedings for anywhere from six months to 2 years, depending on the court’s docket and how amenable the judge is to fishing expeditions.
Second, I challenge the interpretation of various clauses in the prenup. You see, it’s not what YOU intended in drafting that matters. It’s what can be reasonably be inferred from the actual language that’s relevant…and that gives me a lot of room to drag things out another several months to a few years even.
Third, any woman you’ve so much as smiled at during your marriage is a potential mistress. Get ready for me to drag them all in with salacious allegations that will definitely make it to all of your business partners and friends through no doing of mine.
Fourth, anyone you’ve given any expensive gifts is a potential co-conspirator in a fraudulent scheme the object of which is to depress the value of your holdings and thereby cheat my client.
We haven’t even gotten to scope of whatever is left of the prenup and various ways of narrowing that scope so that the enforceable provisions cover a lot less than you intended.
While all this is going on, your lawyers fees, medical bills from the stress I’m deliberately causing you, and lost wages from all the hearings I’m going to drag you to are mounting.
The smart men cut my clients a nice check to make me go away. The stupid ones end up paying that money to their team of lawyers and experts. Regardless, I promise you will not get to keep or enjoy very much of the money you thought you were protecting with the one-sided, greedy prenup.
