[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if you give up your career after a decade to stay at home, and this enables your spouse/SO to have his career take off and accelerate as you follow him with the kids all over the world for the next fifteen years.  At the end of which your spouse/SO is earning many, multi-millions.

No way can a man (or woman) who has not worked in more than fifteen years get a job in their late forties that earns anywhere near $100k, much less the multi-million dollar lifestyle in which they have lived for at least a decade.

In those cases, the stay-at-home spouse often is awarded generous alimony for many, many years.[/quote]

[b]I think it is so bizarre when spouses claim they were the reason their spouse was so successful, like it would never have happened if they did not marry that specific spouse.[/b][/quote]

Only narcissistic spouses make and believe such claims.  That was what my exW used to verbalize - that and also that she was "successful" in spite of me, that I was a loser and she succeeded at everything she did "all by herself."  My family and I finally had a really good laugh at that one. especially as she crashed an burned following the divorce, lost her job due to malfeasance at work, lost the house that she bought out from under me and is now working in her mid-40s at temp jobs because no one will hire her.  Oh, and I had custody transferred to me.  I wouldn't say I don't suffer schandenfreude, but man karma is a bitch! [/quote]
