[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean you're a gold digger.  Few true gold digger situations actually work out happily in the end. I'd probably be putting some restrictions on my husband if he did nothing but want to spend my money. [/quote]

She married the guy when she was in her early 50's, he's still working so he's probably close to Op's age.  This doesn't sound like a typical trophy wife, gold digger scenario to me.  Usually those types of relationships involve a higher earning "rich" husband and a much younger wife who has babies and hires nannies to watch them while she shops and drinks champagne with her BFFs at the country club.

This guy sounds like a prince charming who lured Op in and then went crazy control freak on her.[/quote]

Basically thats about right especially the last Prince Charming part!  Actually he’s a few yrs younger then me. And he wanted me to quit working and take care of me and be in his words, “a lady of leisure”.  I worked in the beauty field and the economy fall really hurt me.  Since,  I have become a gourmet cook and donate my time to underprivileged children and babysit his grandchildren(who love me more then him).   I always worried this would happen because he’s always been a good husband and I always joked with him that he would end up showing his true colors as a controlling Douchebag like most men with money.  He’s just been getting worse and worse with any argument, which is not very often, with threats of divorce.  And now I have to really watch my steps and not make him angry or I might come home with a note that says, “I’m done!” and him gone like last time .  I was thinking today to get a gemologist cert and work in a high end jewelry store. FYI I’m not a troll! This is all real what I’m dealing with . Which to me isn’t all that unusual. Rich man, poor woman, turning into a controlling jerk. I thought I was so lucky. [/quote]

He's an abuser and no you're not out of bounds for wanting a normal marriage. At the very least he should make sure you can live in the home for the duration of your life. When things calm down I would try for that, otherwise don't sign anything.  Check your state, but it's unlikely that he can waive your right to alimony. Also a prenup can be invalidated if it's too lopsided. And if there's a severe financial balance that will work in your favor if you divorce soon and things don't change. This would appear to be the case, but document everything. Get a safety deposit box and start putting away cash. At least it's something you can get to fast, and it doesn't leave a paper trail.[/quote]
