So are quality men. |
You will still live happily ever after, even after some stressful periods. |
We have a serious, national crisis on our hands on unpaired blue collar men, and it’s causing violence. |
I was a ladies' maid in the South of France in the 1890s. A charming young widower wooed me with Polynesian pearls and oysters by moonlight. Then he whisked me off my feet to his half-ruined ancestral castle in Cornwall, where he'd buried only a few ex-wives under the floorboards, and together we began our reign of terror over the comelier of the local peasant girls.
You know, like you do. |
That doesn’t exist. Either he’s young enough to be never married and has less money but poised to make more, or he was married already. If he was desirable before he was married before. If he was married before he likely had kids before. It comes out of his income not yours but you don’t get to cut off income to his kids. That’s part of the deal. You can’t erase a prior life. Also most ex wives work now.
I’m the poster who said she only dates UMC and screens up front. I would not begrudge a man who was meeting his responsibilities to a prior family. In fact I would rule out any man who wasn’t. |
Not true for majority of well educated and accomplished men from UCM/wealthy intact families, unless drunk or not looking for long term. |
I don't know a single person who has professional education and job marrying someone without a professional degree. |
+1. We all met and married other physicians. |
That’s amazing! I was also a ladies maid in France and he was actually married but they weren’t doing well bc she hadn’t borne him a son. So he brought me up to England to live in his castle but she wouldn’t leave. Imagine? Then they got divorced finally after a whole hassle (politics, founding a new church, blah blah blah excuses), now I’m Queen and life is awesome. What could go wrong? |
My sister from another mother! Clearly we know how it's done when it comes to snagging those rich dudes. |
Well then he’s got to make way more than 200k. Because maintaining a non working ex wife, couple kids and a second household in dmv area will leave him with no disposable income. I am not scaling back my lifestyle to subsidize that. |
Yeah, I do. My brother was an airline mechanic with no post-HS degree who reunited with his high school girlfriend in middle age. She has a doctorate, a ton of money, and several gorgeous waterfront properties. They're happy as clams now (especially my brother). |

Lots of “educated” women in debt for their philosophy or gender studies degrees. |
Mwah come to court sometime! |
I met him in college when he was poor and kind of a mess, but had a lot of potential. He wouldn't even have graduated without me. Now he has an MBA and earns $900k a year. |
