Heh, heh. People thing a ten year marriage is a long time - waht a crock. If he got her when she was 19, she would be 29, still employable in almost any field. If he got her when she was 29, she already had a past for which she was responsible, and now she is only 39. She can still call upon what she accomplished in that past - if anything.
My wife who is fifty just landed a very nice job in the airline industry. She had been away from it for almost 20 years...
The man in this story has no responsibility for this womans wage earning abilities after a measely ten years of marriage, especially considering that this was her second.
And on a side note, you don't need no steenking pre-nup to keep your assets from before you were married. By law, they are yours, unless you used the common assets of the marriage to make payments on them.
The airline industry has been at something of a tech plateau. If she worked in computers, forget it after being out of work for 10 years. Who needs a Visual Basic 3.0, Clipper, Novell programmer ?

Is she a stewardess? Hope she ages like Joan Collins/Alexis Colby......
Glad to hear it, RR! Maybe she should now start supporting you! That way, you can clear your conscience by making the supreme sacrifice of hanging around the house all day. :-)
