Thanks. Like in trading, in real life you have to know when a situation is a "bad" position and get out of it. Whether it's bad marriage, bad girlfriend, bad habit......at some point you have to say enough is enough and cut your loss.
I was so eagger to find out about what factors are important to look at BEFORE "signing", that I just asked, without considering how it comes across. Anyway, what you are saying is very insightful and expected : * the influence of parents and if/how likely the person will develop their same bad traits * the attitude toward the person if money is no longer flowing like a river I remember one guy who basically paid before any marriage a huge amount to his gf - because of all the negatives his friends were mentionning. As soon as all was signed and she was sure she was set for life, she basically disappeared. The psy advice was in a way a blessing. But still, any other way to find out the truth about how the women will turn out if money stops flowing like a river or if disaster strikes ( illness, accidents, ..)?
This is in a bit similar in many parts of life : some do not want to cut their losses in whatever they do , and thus have to be forced to.
Yes, you may. However, since I started this thread, I may also ask you to start another thread on any other slightly related topics that may be of interest to you. You are welcome to do that. Rgds. (that being said, my general advice is to flee like hell (for LTRs, that is ) women who are "under" you financially AND expect you to fund their lifestyle, cos they can t fund it themselves... seems rather obvious, but...)
