She was what was euphemistically referred to back then as a “serial monogamist.” She dumped me, of course. <br /><br />Years later I learned she had settled down and was living with a very rich guy who was old enough to be her father. It seems he had abandoned his second wife and kids so she could divide her time between writing the Great American Novel and yoga class.<br /><br />I admit I was a little shocked when I found out.<br /><br />But I was also kind of flattered.

What always riled me about that flare-up of "First Wives Club" b.s. in the '90s, and all the crying on Oprah about how this evil society makes these horrible men trade in their wives for the newer model, was that it always, always ignored the other side of that story. <br /><br />For every old rich guy dumping the first wife for a new trophy babe, there was a younger guy, probably putting in long hours to work his way up, who got dumped by that trophy babe for the richer model the minute she could snag him. The difference is, there isn't a whole infrastructure of talk shows and chick lit and vapid magazines to complain about that half of the equation 24/7.<br /><br />Happened to me twice. And yes, the proper lesson I took from that was that I had to start dating a better class of woman, which usually meant, ironically, disdaining the "upper" classes.fivewheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511002180195360137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-25675837928368100902009-06-09T13:42:29.487-05:002009-06-09T13:42:29.487-05:00If that is the MO these woman have,good luck to th...If that is the MO these woman have,good luck to them.

That's not bad, although it may be sad. Todays Golddiggers actually pre-plan the divorce for about the 5th year to enjoy their half of his money Without being married to him. This is more like a certain President's plan to re-distribute the wealth.traditionalguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706120413005530014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-29393870209830914212009-06-09T13:21:29.740-05:002009-06-09T13:21:29.740-05:00This essay attempts a nasty little conflation.

To make a pre-nup stand up the 3 legs of the stool are (1)full disclosure (so she won't ask for too little)which is an attached financil statement just like the Banks use, and (2) independent counsel...each has separate lawyers to show no manipulation used, and (3) get it executed a couple of months before the ceremony so that no last minute sign it or else coercion can tearfully be alleged.

She moved into an apartment she could not afford in order to be a member of of a wealthy parish. She is very involved with church activities in that wealthy parish. She hopes to meet a good man through her church activities. She is gold digging but in a responsible, mature way. Her aunt told me of her in glowing, approving terms.
