I'd like to dissect this post. Keep in mind, nothing works for everyone and I am a different person than you. Agree. Marriage is a partnership. In the current climate, it is a business partnership. Love does not factor into it. She is not part of the trading business. The only claim you can make here is that her caring for the kids freed up the man to make money. I can do that with a nanny and pay her $30K/year to do what I say with my kids. So why don't I pay the nanny 50% of my income? My job is not to make my wife happy. Her job is to be happy, and she can come along for my ride. If she doesn't fit, she goes. Yes, it's not nice, I agree and this is why I tell all my girlfriends that we are not getting married because I would not be a good husband. What's the right way? Here is a text (paraphrased) I got the other day from a woman I used to date: I’m very thankful for and appreciative of your advice, friendship, mentor and for our relationship in general. Is there anything I can do for you? What do you think this means? It means I give women good feelings. I asked a woman what this meant and she said it means she wants to bump uglies. It is possible that I'm a sociopath and have no feelings (unlikely, I have strong reactions towards my kids) but there is no feeling a woman gives me that is worth anything to me. I like their friendship, I like sex, I like making them feel good, but it isn't something that satisfies my direction in life. As I said, I have multiple women I see on a regular basis. I am currently trying to work out how to create multiple families with them. I will not be alone when I die, my kids are absolutely in love with me, and many women feel the same way. The truth is that I want to live life on my own terms. I've seen that marriage greatly castrates you as a man (your post itself is something I cannot relate to). On top of that, the legal ramifications are just not worth it. TL;DR different strokes, different folks.
A second steady income from your partner is an advantage to a trader. However if you have spoilt your wife to the point she is lazy no longer works and just spends/wastes your money on worthless stuff she is going to be very negative to your trading.
If they find out what you are doing, only takes one of them to make up false accusations of rape just to get back at you. Then your life will be ruined that way.
That sounds to be the most logical. You are the trader, so you do all the job. Can she claim the results of your intellectual work? Divorce and move somewhere else where she cannot catch you.
In my native country alimony is limited to the duration of the marriage. So: married 2 years means 2 years of alimony.
Lol, yeah sure! There is nothing to explain. Stop thinking a woman is this evilness out to take a man wealth. Real men, don't let a woman take nothing from them from the start. In my relationship(s), I tell my women, if we get married, we not getting no damn divorce. That is understood from the start. But, you gotta get your mind right to understand where I coming from. A man that thinks a woman is to out to "ruin them" got some issues and is weak.
