[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$4.1mm in real estate (net of cap gain, still have mortgage $850k). 
Income from real estate: $250,000/year
Employment income $60,000/year (mommy-tracked and recently went back to corporate)

43 y.o., one child almost college age; high net worth dad finances college.

I feel poor after a marriage with $1mm annual income where I could afford anything. Would marry again but only someone with assets and higher income than mine. I dont believe in marriage for love. Mine was for love and it fell apart in adultery. Partnership, good sex, common goals - this I believe into[/quote]

Sounds like you married for love and ended up with money. Why NOT go for love when you have so much?[/quote]

Talk about money not buying happiness…[/quote]

I am the original poster: money, assets, corporate success completely destroyed my marriage. My exH became obnoxious, got a disgusting sense of self-entitlement. I was pulling off a lot with family real estate business but otherwise didn't have a high-flying corporate career. He was calling me "nobody" during the divorce. It was the hardest, the most demeaning experience of my life!
Even though I am now independently wealthy, these millions came to me and my son at expense of a deep psychological trauma. I know my exH is also very traumatized by divorce and won't trust a woman again. He thinks I ripped him off for millions - but it was 50/50 split, nothing more.

It will take me a long time to heal, and if I ever remarry it won't be before a 15-year mark with my next partner. I see no point remarrying a mingling assets: even best marriages built on love can fall apart suddenly and people have no control over it. I though I had control over my life, my husband, my child, my future when I was married. Apparently I had zero. It drives me mad
