[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never met a woman who claimed to marry for lifestyle, I would be shocked to hear it![/quote]

I have a friend who did.  Her DH travels for work and cheats on her left, right and center and she looks the other way because she likes the lifestyle.  No kids yet.  [/quote]

Does the cheating upset your friend at all? She is open with you about the cheating?[/quote]

I’ve known her since high school and yes, she’s been open with me about the cheating.  She isn’t thrilled about it but I think has sort of made her peace with it and accepted that it comes with the territory (her husband is tall, reasonably good looking and charismatic, and travels on business multiple times a year… and I can’t say I disagree with her that pretty much all those guys cheat).  She’s never been the hopeless romantic type and dated strategically to secure the bag.  She’s very pretty but grew up very middle class so it’s not like there were tons of rich guys in her orbit to choose from… otherwise maybe she’d have held out for a better love match who was also rich, who knows.  They don’t have kids yet so I don’t know if or how that will change anything.  For now she seems… content, but I wouldn’t say happy. [/quote]

She sounds tragic.

And I would be suicidal if I had her future ahead of me.

(Why didn’t she just work hard in school , and secure her own future??) [/quote]

+1. No kids and she’s putting up with this bs?

This will blow up, but that will be good for her. It sounds very unhealthy. [/quote]
