You know the details of this whole thing? They mention that the guy is a ‘health professional’. Why is the wife’s profession not mentioned? These two married in 1966, when the guy would have been around, what, 24 years old, and you think it’s significant they had few assets at the time? Maybe the wife grew to become a complete bitch, as many do when the money starts showing up and they adopt the all-too-common attitude of entitlement for assets they didn’t earn. And maybe the guy was sick of it, and refused to allow her to take a huge sum in a divorce settlement.
No and neither do you. I find it interesting you assume it’s all on the gold digging wife given the story does not indicate such.
