I agree it's not very romantic to be so businesslike and I would probably feel like you but divorce is common and can be very bitter and time consuming, not to mention financial gain for the lawyers involved, when couples fight over who gets what.
It's no longer a celebrity thing and becoming more common nowadays for partners to draw up pre-nups before marriage, partly I think, because people are marrying at an older age and have acquired assets over the years. Do you think it's a sensible idea?
Yes and I have because my work takes me to different countries, The biggest obstacle though is the language barrier, it is very frustrating when you can't say exactly what you want to say in the other persons native tongue.
There has to be an initial physical attraction but as has been said already, we all have different tastes so in theory, an equal playing field. For me, I couldn't date a guy young enough to be my son so age is important.

I teach English to foreign students and have previously worked in Turkey, Poland, Portugal and now Spain which is where I have decided to settle. For many years I was a tax inspector in the UK which I hated.

Sorry but I'm not sure what you are saying. Do you mean that love has been cheapened somehow by people who have no concept of what true love means or am I totally missing the point? Sorry
