Yeah.

Then 20 years later… she gets $15 million in a settlement.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

The reality is you would be lucky to get away with half these days. If you have children you can realistically expect to keep between 30 and 40%.

The big problem is when she cannot afford to buy a suitable house if the marital home is sold. In that instance she can expect to live there until the children are at least 18 (could even be 21) while you pay the mortgage. In that situation good luck ever being able to buy a house for yourself ever again.

Unless you are exceptionally lucky a divorce will f~~~ you up financially for the rest of your life. Divorce is fine if you are rich, although losing $50 million when you have $100 million is going to hurt, you are not exactly going to be on the streets.

Getting divorced when you are the main earner and she can’t afford to pay a mortgage on her own means you will be living with your parents or in a bedsit above the local kebab shop for the forseable future. To add insult to injury she will no doubt move her Chad boyfriend in so he can live for free while you pickup the bills. Trust me it hurts seeing his car parked on the drive of the house you are paying for while you drive back to your parents house.

This is the reality, seriously don’t get married.

The real bitch about losing so much is that, when you were married, you were already putting out far more than your “fair share” to keep the household afloat in the first place. You provided the standard of living she had become accustomed to.
If women weren’t financially latched onto the men they were victimizing, they would all be on welfare; which, of course we would all still be paying for with our taxes.

Yeah, I remember years later reading about his divorce in Ebony or Essence. I was laughing because I’ve done stuff like saying, “watch out for foxholes,” and then falling in one.
