Time to cut losses?

[Truthseeker82Participant 6406]

Came acrossa guy who I knew in grade school. He is now a surgeon probably worth millions. Guy is in his mid 50’s, kept in great shape. Has 3 grown kids and is married. Took a look at his wife – getting to be overweight, chopped of hair and as far as I can tell, does not work. Probably was hot when he married her – hit the wall hard and you know the rest. He dare not divorce her since at least half those millions are going to end up in her pocket, so I assume he stays for this reason. Made me think: with all his success – he is tethered to a woman who appears to be way below his pay grade, so to speak. Is it worth it to cut his losses – pay up the wazoo now – but enjoy the freedom and hot 25 year old ass he can get while still relatively young? Appreciate any thoughts out there..

His b~~~~ are in her purse & his mind is under her control.

Unless hes fking a hot chick on the side ….. he’s a zombie now.

DON’T MESS WITH ZOMBIES.

As allways, that is why marriage is a stupid option for men.

I dont recommend divorce. The ugly c~~~ he married will take his kids and his money.

Its cheaper and easier to keep the old ball and chain, ignore here and bang a prostitute once in a while.

Or, at his age, just by a fleshlight and be done with sex.

[Mango IngawayParticipant 2264]

Agreed, if he has to break up, he should do it now, so he has more time left to enjoy life when the t~~~ is gone.

Looks like their relations~~~ is going to the sewers anyway, so…

It is a common failing of childhood to think that if one makes a hero out of a demon the demon will be satisfied.

That’s really a great question, but it’s one that only he’ll be able to answer.

If he’s blue pill or even traditional then he probably feels like all of the weight and changes are part of growing old together, and he’s probably already made the decision to finance her for the long term.

If on the other hand she’s unpleasant, and not just in the hair cut and gaining weight aspects then he should probably take the hit and live well off of his “half” when she and the lawyers get done with him.

I’ve asked my Dad a couple of times why he’s paid so much for him and my Mom when his requirements were much lower. He’s a pretty pragmatic man who was an engineer until he moved up to the point where he was supervising large chunks of engineering and manufacturing, so he’s an analytical mind.

His answer was pretty simple, “I broke her by giving her everything she ever wanted so she started to want more.” They were high school sweethearts and she grew up pretty poor.

You can break it down to the simple math and say he should cut and run, but with the opportunities that are probably thrown at him on a regular basis there’s something keeping him there. Call it love, lack of vision, or blue pill. If they’ve been married 30 years he’s either indoctrinated or content with the way things are… or potentially planning an escape, which he probably doesn’t tell everybody that he runs into from the old days.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

OK, don’t laugh, but maybe she’s a great person and they are still in love. It does happen. We know half of marriages end in divorce, and then there are the marriages that last. Some of them are happy and some aren’t. That does leave a 25% or so chance that they are one of the happy ones.

At 51, I am not really attracted to a 25 year old. Physically yes, but I don’t think I could talk to one for more than about 10 minutes without being bored out of my mind. I would take a 50 year old that was a little less physically attractive but was fun to be around any day.

I only throw this out there because the odds are slightly better than zero that this could be the case.

I’m 55 and date strictly younger women.

Being physically attracted to a woman is high on my list of what I’m looking for in a woman that at some point will insist I f~~~ only her for the duration of her interest in me.

I don’t find women my own age physically attractive. Lately I dated a few as an experiment and found that their age was clearly apparent in their skin. This is my limitation and cannot be changed. I tried.

As far as not knowing about life, I love to take a woman under my wing and help her out. The age difference is like a cultural differences and is part of the fun in the same way as outside your social group can be exciting and interesting.

As far as having things in common, I still like going to live music events. Most younger women are into it. Older ones not so much.

So overall a younger woman wins out. I think most older women know this and hate younger women for it.

Of course, as men we all have our own proclivities. Older women do have their charms.

If he is lucky his wife will either get cancer or heart disease. I do not wish this upon her but hey if she’s fat she days are numbered.

This can be a tough call. It depends on the man. When I was married, I stayed with my marriage 5 years longer than I wanted because I didn’t want to take the hit. I probably only make a fraction of what this man makes so that may be the sticking point.

She's not looking for love. She's looking for someone to finance the lifestyle that SHE thinks SHE deserves.

[BeerParticipant 11832]

If she hasn’t worked in forever he’ll probably lose quite a bit more than half and have to pay a boat load of alimony. Sometimes its cheaper to keep her…especially being at an age where he’s probably thinking about retiring in another 5-10 years.

[InfernalShadowParticipant 377]

If I were him, I’d cut my loses. I’d rather be homeless at this point than to be stuck with a woman, especially an ugly woman, for the rest of my life. I think he’s just staying with her because he’s being controlled by her.

I don’t date however, because I can’t stand being around most women as it is. I just use fleshlights and hentai(cartoon porn).

[TiredofbsParticipant 485]

All of the comments above are very good. The way I look at it, unless he’s complaining that he’s unhappy, maybe he’s simply “satisfied” and does not want to go through the long, expensive and painful ordeal of divorce. Who knows, maybe he gets a little on the side from someone more attractive. Maybe not. At his age, and with his wealth, he has a lot to lose in a divorce.

I’d get her hooked on junk food and GMOs, if she’s not already, and let modern food science work its magic.

The charts show men go up in value and women down.

The men I pity shackled to a woman who says “f~~~ it” and gains fifty pounds.
She destroys any semblance to a reasonable downcurve in her chart.

How in hell is a guy still aroused by 50lbs of fat?
Sure, take a blue pill and don’t let your hands sink into the doughy flesh, after rolling her in flour and looking for the wet spot and extinguishing all light sources.

a wife gains fifty pounds and no one bats an eye. That’s just the way that it goes.

single women won’t gain fifty pounds? because no one will bat an eye.

it’s always worth it to dump the baggage.
if you STILL have half of a few million, it’s a no brainer.
cut the losses..
lost enjoyment of life.
lost worrying ,
lost health,
lost a couple million and your’e still a millionaire, c’mon…
