Name 1 divorce of the 50%+ divorces that ended up better for the man? The woman can't be a millionaire or obviously psychopathic.

Most divorces end with both parties being worse off. This is largely due to both parties **** poor financial health prior too and expenses going up afterwards. I did have a boss who's ex husband got his 50% plus the kids, child support and so forth. He was better off until the business he got in the divorce failed because She was no longer helping run it

Yes, most are messy. It can be a very emotional time and thus rather challenging to make good decisions.

maybe if you stopped giving people gold, they would stop digging for it.

No. I married him because I was young and stupid and it seemed like a good idea at the time. Plus, the sex was pretty good.

I never give them gold. I feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable even buying my girlfriend dinner. Hell. I basically am short of saying "I'm broke" but I know if I did it wouldn't end well since my net worth is basically the polar opposite of hers.
I do love to say "I'm broke" and being extremely cheap to people though.

So you tried to "fix him".
See I knew all along marriage is a scam. That's why I refuse to partake.
