[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless the woman had a ton of family money going into or during the marriage, or she divorced a wealthy guy, she is going to struggle a lot after divorce.[/quote]

What, why?  Half of women earn at least 40% of their HHI.

And the other 1/2 earn 0. It's the SAHMs that don't have family $ that usually sink below their former standard of living.[/quote]

Yeah. Know a few gunning for exit affairs that went belly up, got caught, got served and now middle aged thrown into the working world they haven’t been a part of for 20 years. [/quote]

My son's best frend's mom is one of them. Hadn't worked since he was born 17 years ago. She screwed another dad (single) in our kid's circle of friends and her husband found out. Dropped her like a hot potato. She went from being basically retired, living in a huge house in Old Town, married to a decent enough guy making about 400k to working as a K prep assiatant and living in a shitty one bed apartment on Duke street

I'm pretty sure the affair wasn't worth it.[/quote]

I don’t know.  This isn’t me, but I’m getting a little tired of the big house in the suburbs and spending so much of my life managing other people’s belongings.  Living in a one bedroom apartment sounds kind of nice.  [/quote]

"I'm happier by myself in a squallid effeciency off Duke street, surrounded by illegals and sex offenders than I was in a 2.5M historic row house in Old Town!"

-said no one ever.[/quote]

How many people say that they were happier when they were first married, even though they were young and broke?  
There is nothing inherently fulfilling about a house.   [/quote]
