Not only that, he was a CPA before they married and he went to law school. He could have made a killing representing people before the IRS.
But if you ain’t paying the people that can take everything from you, you sure ain’t paying a lawyer. If you aren’t smart enough to get the money up front, you won’t get paid.
Her dad was a lawyer and ended up in prison so there was that.
Per the Bible (II Timothy, I think), if a man doesn’t provide for his household, “he is worse than an infidel”. Someone who is worse than an infidel is about as low as you can go.
Run for Congress if honest work is too tough?
Now you got it.
Most divorces occur because of infidelity. And guess who is usually guilty? Duh!
I think most marriages end in divorce because of money, mr. bitter.
Hey easy MM. I was agreeing with you. And how do know I’m a Mr.? (Ha, ha, I am). My point I made unclearly is, men cheat. A lot. But not me. 29 years and counting. And they said it wouldn’t last! (because me)
Happy FReeping!
Yeh a woman will turn on you every time. Never trust a woman she’s just after your money. :-)
1 Timothy 5
8 Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
Right. That’s it. “Infidel” is in KJV instead of “unbeliever”.
I get FB notices from Prager University. One of the videos that I actually watched he called “The Missing Tile Syndrome”. If you are in a waiting room and it is missing a ceiling tile - where to you think your eye will wander to? Same with everything else in life.
Of course some things we can fix easily enough. Some might take a lot of time and energy. And some things won't change.
Somewhere else I had heard someone talk about how God had put your spouse in your life - and that it was a “God” thing. I'm not sure that's true in a lot of cases - but it definitely was in mine. I know that in rough times I need to remember that with my wife!
That, and my dad (RIP) back when I was dating her told me “If this relationship ends - it will be your fault. So don't!”
>There are some women out there who are “high maintenance” and divorce a decent man who is not living up to her financial expectations. However, in a lot of cases, “not making money”, means that the husband shows no real ambition, and is perfectly content to let his wife carry the load and keep things going while he hangs out with his buddies. I don’t blame the woman for wanting out of a situation like that.
She took an oath. I have nothing good to say about oath breakers.
>It’s about time the ladies got their digs in. This forum has way too many of these threads in which women are demonized by bitter, lonely guys.
Indeed it’s now time to hear from the bitter harpies and their cat collections.
Oh, so sorry, I didn’t get your sarcasm. 29 years is great - I’m at 25. I married the right man and love him to bits.
God bless!
You won’t find them on FR. They don’t exist.
I ‘m sorry to say you are right, Miss Marmelstein! Not all women are like the ones described by bitter Freeper men, I absolutely reject some of the terrible things that have been said here. My husband had to take early retirement for medical reasons. He went from making $200k per year to zero. I don’t love or respect him any less and am thankful that as a professional engineer, I am now the family breadwinner.
Good for you! My husband was fired in 2011 and our income dropped to practically zero. Hard times for several years! It never occurred to me to leave him - it wasn’t his fault. And by hanging together rather than hanging separately, we are now in a safe harbor and enjoying retirement (if a bit early!)
Bless you.
God Bless all a yall!
It's naive to assume that the initiation statistic is the indicator of a careless attitude about divorce. Filing for divorce by the woman may be a defensive measure to protect the children from alcohol abuse, ir physical or emotional abuse. The woman finally stops being the punching bag, or the doormat, or the one with ruined credit because of his spending, or the one at risk of venereal disease if her husband is unfaithful and/or a liar. Naturally there are also situations where the woman is the main transgressor. But we really don't know what goes on behind closed doors.
