Ladies. How would you like to marry a man for his money? ( Archived) (62)

I was best man for my best friend in 1984. I was jealous that he was so " happily married" (unlike me). He had and still does have a job at the nuclear plant as a nuke operator.. making 150K + per year. He always worked all the overtime he could get so that his family could prosper. His "wife" didnt waste any time quitting her job to go back to college to learn about finance. She waited until he was done building their second house, (If he wasnt sleeping, he was at the new house working on it.)(A fricken mansion) to give him his divorse papers. 1.5 million dollars later she now lives in an even bigger mansion (because she wasnt able to get the one he just built). I want to learn how to meet a woman who will give me that kind of money! Any takers? I am a really nice guy!!!!

People marry for many different kinds of reasons.... love being rare these days i think. My marriages were arranged by family except the last one... he was my late husband's brother.

Back to your senerio, .... Ever wonder if it was his work and business that took him away from home so much of the time? Loneliness can drive a person to do many things they might not otherwise do. Getting the house he built for her is a small consolation when perhaps the dreams of just being a family was lost because he was never around? There are two sides to every coin, dah?

I'm sure that you must be a really nice guy. I hope the right woman comes along for you. Best of luck!

Just a note:

I was married....had little idea of the "money" and it was not a factor in the falling in love and subsequent marraige........at least not for me. I learned quickly what the "price" was to be "so and so's wife" and referred to as such. I lost my identity as well as my ability to be independent. What I did not understand is that my husband (13yrs ago) controlled many other aspects of my life such as friends and career. To others it would have appeared, and I have heard the words since, "you had it all, you don't ever have to worry about work or your future. There was a price (pardon the pun). I PAYED through experience and years of supression. I allowed it to happen but, I also put a stop to it. Money is just that, personal security is an entirely different issue. I prefer the latter.

I would NEVER marry a man for his money...I have my own.
Money CAN NOT buy love. I don't want any of the material things in life. I just want a simple life with a man who will love me unconditionally, as I will love him unconditionally.
I know there are those out there who don't believe in unconditional love, and if you don't know what it is, or want to make wisecracks about it, go ahead.
Those of us who DO believe in it, are the lucky ones, whether we have it in our lives right now or not, because we know of a love like no other.
