Oh I agree with you there.

I was poking fun at the way marriage seems to work out in our society. Women marry wealthy men, spend their money, contribute nothing to the home, the business, or the lifestyle except for sex, and in return they get a large settlement in a divorce after only a few years of marriage.

My father is getting divorced from his mistake right now, and while the divorce is final, the settlement of the marital property isn't complete. The woman never had to cook, clean, or do much of anything except spend money. She's now going to walk away with a sizable settlement that she earned on her back.. which smacks of prostitution.

Funny. I have thought some of those same thoughts recently. So sorry for your father. Not fair, at all.

Take heart in that money won't buy her happiness. I consider myself the richest woman in the world, not because I have money, but rather I have the best, loving husband in the whole world. No money needed.

Also, your father sounds like he will be happier without her, eh?

You sound very bitter about your father's choice of a marriage partner. Your father felt she was contributing - at least in the beginning.
