We will hire help with childcare and housekeeping, but she will manage the day-to-day responsibilities of cooking, cleaning, shuffling kids to school, etc. My parents had the same setup and it worked. My dad was very involved in raising us, but my mom did the bulk of it.
Anonymous wrote:OP here. I guess this is not the right place to ask this. I’m still a little surprised with most saying they would never sign a prenup considering this forum is filled with divorced people, people having affairs, and people who hate their spouses.
The prenup is to protect my businesses and certain assets. Any money we earn once married is considered “ ours” and she will have full access to. I don’t plan to get divorced but divorce rates are high.
I’m fine with a woman who wants to keep her career but I would prefer a woman who wants to take time off and be a SAHM while the kids are young.
I want a woman who is kind, attractive, smart, etc. I didn’t say those because they’re a given. Everyone wants that. Everyone wants to be married to a kind, loving, attractive, funny, and faithful person.
I want a true marriage. I do not want a mail order bride or someone young. I’m looking for a woman over 30 who is mature.
I have never cheated and never will. Divorce is not something I want.
At 37, I feel it’s normal to be single. Many people are getting married later in life. The PP who said having a kid at 40 means a child with special needs is wrong and insensitive. Many men and women have children at 40 or over 40 who do not have special needs. The age increases the chances, but that doesn’t mean it will happen in every case.
I can afford the lifestyle I want. I do think it’s ridiculous that some people on here think you can’t raise children with less than $400. I’ve known many families who have made less and still live in move homes, send their kids to private schools, and outsource help.
I want children. I will be part of their lives as much as possible. I will not be around as much in the earlier years because I want to set my family up for a great life. I’ve known many people who have similar situations.

He doesn't want her to have the ability to handle the finances, and he wants a pre-nup. Very different than your set-up.
That is because my husband isn’t an ass.

OP here. She won’t be able to touch my businesses or family money or money before we met. Everything else is hers. Money we earn together is hers. The house and car are hers. I kept the house when she left but I let her keep a new $40k car, didn’t ask for the $20kdebt I paid off for her, and she kept the $30k ring I bought her. Any gift I gave her she kept.
If the businesses are untouchable and the money comes from businesses, how is "money we earn together" hers?
OP here. I have other streams of income. The businesses and any family money I have is mine.

How would you pay her that $2.5 mil? Sell your company?
Response ?

Haha!
It’s only funny because it’s true!
OP said he doesn't want someone who is divorced.
I didn't read through all the posts. Why not? OP seems quite picky. IMO, those two are perfect for each other.
I bet OP is the type who will expect the wife will:
1. put out on demand
2. stay slim after all the pregnancies
3. be submissive to what he wants
OP here. I don’t expect sex on demand. My ex and I only had sex 2-3 times a week most of the time. I’m fine with that. I don’t expect a submissive woman.
I actually prefer woman on the curvier side. I’m not into a skeleton. Not obese but my last girlfriend was 5’2, 150lbs. Busty and curvy. That’s what I prefer.

Do you miss her? Do you feel like she was the one who got away? Do you wish you had sweetened the deal to keep her?
Or are you perfectly fine with the fact that she walked away?
