My mom taught me this. Always have your own income and savings. It served me well.

My mom and dad preached this to us. My sister, brother and I all have our own retirement and income. My husband went to making what I did to near 7 figures and I kept my income.

+1M. From an early age, my parents always taught me (and my brother) to always be able to take care of ourselves, no matter what. I am so glad I grew up with that mentality and it stuck with me. But TBH, I have highly educated friends with advanced degrees from top schools, and only one of them is a SAHM (and she is looking to reenter the workforce now, after a few years off). Everyone else works, and most of them full time in high stress jobs like biglaw partners or medicine. Maybe I'd feel differently if I had mostly SAHM friends, idk.

+1 billion

I used to think men are only as loyal as their opportunities but it’s becoming valid for women now. Many of my classmates who are higher up on corporate ladder now, showed up with their new husbands and boyfriends. My physician sister observed similar pattern at her 10th reunion. When people (men or women) earn more, it opens up many doors including infidelity and they become less and less tolerant of their existing spouse’s weaknesses.

If a nerd has no monetary value among his care free female college mates at 23, if he finds success and money by 40-45, he suddenly starts looking more appealing to materialistic women around women.

Nerdy looking 20 year old women with beautiful heart may not seems as hot as her cheerleader friend but she starts looking more beautiful at 35 if she is a loaded CFO or cosmetic Dermatologist with unlimited resources to enhance her exterior looks.

But you have no idea what his wife was like to be married to. Perhaps for Jeff, wife B is a major upgrade. No one knows what goes on inside a marriage other than the two people in it.

This. Have you SEEN his new woman? What a body! Lauren Sanchez was a MAJOR upgrade over Wife #1. Sanchez doesn't bother him about ethics or treating people or whatever. She's the life of the party, creates an amazing social life for him, and rocks his world.

A heart wants what a heart wants, specially a heart with a deteriorating middle age brain.

I think it’s a “penis wants what a penis wants”. The heart not so much.

The new woman has a weird, plastic surgery face and seems to have an annoying, hyper-sexual personality.

Is it because of that nip slip picture with bezos and her ex husband?

In all four cases the doctors used their on-call schedules to cover their cheating, in at least two of the cases they cheated for years with various women before divorcing.

All are very talented doctors so it seemed to me that they let the praise go to their heads. I also think their schedules and the many available younger women made it easier, too. That said, all four blew up their relationships with their kids, primarily because the kids were ticked to learn that their dads missed important school events not because of medical emergencies but because they were cheating.

Tell me about it. I look younger and I am thinner and prettier than my ex bf's 27 yr old 4ft 10 inch 150lbs girlfriend who has piano legs and no college degree but as soon as he came into money women started showing him more attention and he was attractive. I am 40, no wrinkles, grays, no glasses, no lines, thin.

It’s very common among doctors to ditch ones who support them during the process once they start earning big bucks. It’s not just male doctors, females do the same. It’s like a norm.

What if the Mercedes wasn't that new?

So basically don't help anyone through hard times because you will be discarded. Got it.

I'm a doctor and not now of my friends from medical school or training did this, male or female. The only divorce I have seen are where the professional demands drove people apart.
