[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not unheard of and sorry, but sometimes it’s not preventable. This is why Belle Burden’s book is a bestseller. So many women can relate.

Also, I hope you fudged some of the identifying details about your friend. [/quote]

Belle Burden is whatever the opposite of hyper vigilant is and there were zillions of signs leading up to her husband leaving. [/quote]

Keep telling yourself that if it helps you sleep better at night.

Though she was a total idiot with the prenup. [/quote]

The guy was a hedge funder who lived separately in Manhattan for months out of the year from her and the kids, including summers. He had many controlling behaviors surrounding money, including getting her to commingle the money from her trust. He was conflict avoidant and, by her own admission, their physical relationship “had cooled considerably” over the course of twenty years.

He seemed like a narcissist who had cheated throughout the course of the marriage. There’s no way the woman he left her for was the first woman he had an affair with. He was living like the kind of guy who had given multiple hookers Amex cards. Belle was the woman he was “supposed” to marry. From a respectable family, passive, didn’t ask too many questions, attractive but not too sexy. He dumped her as soon as the COVID lockdown interrupted his little routine.

While I don’t doubt she was blindsided, all the signs were there. [/quote]
