This is true but marriage can be just as bad for a woman with money, if not worse. If the husband messes up, he has spent HER money, doesn’t help with the kids, how is that not a bad deal for the woman? I’m with the burnt guys here, as a woman, because I gave and gave and gave and ended up screwed. Not seeing the upside to marriage unless you literally approach it from the start like a full on business deal. I was a dumb romantic.
Marriage for “love” is a crock, that’s been my takeaway. Marry because you actually like one another, have similar interests and life goals, because you complement one another. Know you’d make a great team because that’s what you’re in fact proposing to do. What popular belief terms “love” is no such thing, it’s merely physical attraction, lust. That often fades. A deeper form of love due to a shared life of triumphs and tragedies gone through together will come with time and that’s an enduring love. I often wonder if folks in the old days didn’t have it closer to right with the arranged marriages. People themselves are too blinded by hormones to see what and who would make a good mate in the sense of a complementary pair.
That said, I’d never marry a woman who would have any interest in my assets, meaning she has her own. That eliminates some of the rampant scheming, grasping and greed right there.
