That is so sad isn’t it?
Even if she was just a housewife with no kids, she is entitled to that Why wouldn’t she be?
I wonder how these freepers that had a mom who didn’t work and a father who made all the money would feel if their parents divorced because Dad decided he didn’t want to be married anymore. The way they are thinking would leave the mom penniless becuse of she didn’t earn an income? of course she should be entitled to half.
I would suspect that in this case, she is starting high and knows the final deal will bargain down.
That’s how theses people seem to feel dowsn’t it? It’s disgusting.
THE LADY AND THE TRAMP- Disney had it right
And that’s not counting the other types of women....
women who don’t marry - old spinsters of course.
Married women who don’t have children - selfish.
And then, of course there are the divorced women - who seemingly have ALWAYS brought it upon themselves.
Then there are women like Elin who have been cheated on - usually because they were “cold” and didn’t “take care” of their man.
oh - there are all sorts on this board for EVERY situation where EVERYTHING is the women’s fault.
In fact - I think I’ve seen it suggested here that men really ought to stay away from women - ENTIRELY.
They’d be much happier :)
Glad someone else has noticed that.
I call this, “The woman Thou gavest me,” syndrome.
It is literally the oldest excuse in the Book.
There is a ping list around here - I think it’s “women are evil”
Whenever that sort of thing comes up.
“You can see this is a sore point with me, and I’ve never been married. I am just a Y-Chromosome carrier ANGRY at the Feminized judiciary that steals a man’s hard earned pay. FIVE FRIGGIN YEARS OF MARRIAGE and the female dog gets half? BARBARA STREISAND!!! “
Well then - maybe it would be best simply to never get married?
That’s always an option.
I see criticism here aimed at women choosing men, allegedly, solely based on his income.
How often are men criticized for choosing their women solely based on boobs/body with no regard for their character?
And if the hotbodied babe turns out to be not-so-nice - they are SHOCKED!
It cuts both ways.
I’ve got 4 sons to raise (and 3 daughters).
My advise to them will be to closely examine character.Make sure this woman is “mother” material.
Worried about her stealing your stuff? Well - hire a lawyer and work that out beforehand.
I’ve told my oldest boy - marriage is about self sacrifice for both involved.
If, sadly, it turns out poorly - she’s really crazy - she’s mean - she’s cold and manipulative - she’s unfaithful, that is not an excuse to cheat.
That is a time for divorce/annulment BEFORE bringing anyone else into your life.
She should go for it. What angers me most about this whole sordid affair is that he put her and her children at risk for AIDS.
Oh no, those Freepers typically advise importing an unspoiled-by-America (young) bride from Asia.
HA!
So true - because that ALWAYS works out right? LOL.
And I’m sure those brides are always thrilled with the arrangement.
I happen to know of an eastern european chick locally.
She’s miserable.
Absolutely miserable.
Good for her she deserves half and will move on with her life.
Bingo. AndTiger should pay the price for his deception.
well said!
When you've got half a billion dollars who needs PR?
Cultivated?
Who would want to live in an institution?
Well when men get half the boobs after a divorce then it will be even.
