It is interesting that so many define a 'good man' and one who treats a woman well by how much money he gives. He is boiled down to nothing more than a wallet.

What to you then makes one a good woman and who who treats a man well? What does Chrsitine have to do to earn that distinction?

Is she bad and not treating him well if she doesn't keep cooking him dinner? Having sex? What does a wife need to do to be a good woman and to treat her husband well?
People are very clear on this thread that for men, their worth is based on $$ and what defines a good man is how much he has and gives to the woman, but what defines a good woman?

In the Kelly Clarkson divorce thread with a similar prenup - I don't really recall comment about how she is only a good woman and only treats her husband well if she gives him a lot more of her money. No one was calling her names and putting her down for not opening up the bank and ensuring her ex (and children when with him) had the same lifestyle as he had while married to her. It seems few feel that women are defined by $$ and how generous they are to an ex - so what would have made Kelly a good woman who treated her man well?

This keeps getting repeated here with no article to substantiate. Where did you read this?

It was in some of the very early Daily Mail reports but hasn’t surfaced after that.

Oh that makes sense to keep repeating something said once, by the DM.

PP to whom the above person was asking the question. Yes, that’s also where I read it. It may arguably be a face-saving tumor.

Same. I don’t really get the histrionic poster(s) going on and on about what a jerk he is. I do not see it.

I'm not histrionic, but yep-- I still think he's a pluperfect jerk who's worth 400 million. FWIW, I'm not impressed with her either.

Yeah, we get it. You keep using the weird phrase “pluperfect jerk,” which nobody normal uses. You aren’t convincing anyone.

/\/\ LOL! You're the self-appointed classroom forum monitor! Teachers know there's one in every classroom.

Huh?

I think the person who thinks that Christine comes across as a bit touched in the head is right. You see it in her supporters too.

I think she probably cheated, so he’s being petty. Good for him!

ITA. He wouldn’t even notice $15-20M and she’d still have to adjust her lifestyle downward. The kids will notice her drastic lifestyle change and blame their dad for not taking care of her.

They’re going to blame their mom for blowing up their family due to boredom.

They're going to realize what a small, miserly percentage of his wealth he gave their mom.

When they get a huge inheritance they’ll understand plus they will realize their mom squanders money.

+1 I have to wonder if all the Christine supporters are divorced?

I've been married for over 30 years and am not particularly a Christine supporter. With a net worth of about 400 million, I just think he's being obnoxiously cheap towards the mother of his children and wife of 20 years.

She signed the prenup. It existed for a reason.

Yes, he knew himself quite well. Guess he's always been obnoxiously cheap.

Maybe, but this is more about power. He’s punishing her for daring to leave him. Had he wanted the divorce, my guess is he’d have been fine paying her off.

PP here. Good point.

That ship and lifestyle has sailed. Strange she doesn’t get it. She seems sweet and all but what did she expect? Especially with that pre nup?!?

She seems a bit touched in the head…no connection to reality at all.

If I had to pay out $80m to my first spouse I would either never remarry or have a very stringent prenup so I understand why he is like this.

If it means more money for them in a trust or something they won't care.

I think most adults are far more loving and protective of their moms than what your post suggests.

Have you read DCUM? People on here don’t want anything to do with their parents.

PP here. I'll admit that many of the DCUM posts about family and parents are surprising to me. Not the way my husband and I feel towards out parents and extended family at all.

People with happy and functional family relationships don’t post here.
