Many millionaires marry in love only to have their ex ask for a divorce and take as much as she can with her. You have no sympathy for a man like that?
How many low to middle income women marry millionaires?
Just think about it. She has to be a gold digger who manipulates and works hard to get into that inner circle where she could even meet a millionaire. She has to be very young and very attractive (and stay very young and attractive) and the guy is going to be really old and unattractive. Id say just the sexual favors and putting up with his crap earns her the enjoyment of his riches.

No I have no sympathy for a man who marries eye candy knowing full well she is only in it for money. If one has the intelligence to be a millionaire they should have the intelligence to protect their money.

There is a proven strong correlation between acquiring wealth and divorce. The more money a man earns, the better chance his wife will divorce him. How sad is that.
Women who are in for the money can come up with simple reasons for a divorce so why not.

That's a comforting thought to me, somehow.
You are right. Men that have all that wealth are loving enough to marry a woman who doesn't have much and give it all to them and live happy. It's nothing new really to see rich men marry women like that. But it is also sad when they are in love with women who take them to the cleaners in a divorce.

I always thought it was the opposite, the poor/less educated are more likely to get divorced.

Are Marriage Statistics Divorced from Reality? - TIME

Quote:

What seems most clear is that less-educated, lower-income couples split up more often than college grads and may be doing so in higher numbers than before. "The people who are most likely to get divorced have the least resources to deal with its impact, particularly on children," says Amato.
Marriage as a 'luxury good': The class divide in who gets married and divorced - Money - TODAY.com

Quote:

Education and social status has always been an attractive quality in potential husbands, said Jeounghee Kim, an associate professor at Rutgers University who studies marriage trends. But starting around 1990, she said, “(Women’s) economic status began to work pretty much like men’s economic status: The more education you have, the better economic prospects or careers you have, you are more likely to get and stay married.”



Her research has shown that higher levels of education, and thus income potential, also greatly reduce the likelihood of divorce – although that effect is stronger for white women than for African-American women.

Where do you get you stats. According to census in marriages with an annual income of over 50,000 risk of divorce decreases by 30%.

That’s right but also think about millionaires who are young and attractive and in love who still marry someone who isn’t rich but still has her degree and works just like your average Jane. She would still be lucky to marry that young millionaire and have everything she ever dreamed of and would never be able to afford.

Let me repeat the question. How about a millionaire who marries IN LOVE, that is, not just because of what he sees but because he is just simply in love and wants to make her happy sharing his wealth and luxuries with her? Only to have her ask for a divorce in a blink of an eye.

How about focusing on normal regular people instead of a very small minority then using them as a prime example? It's ridiculous. Especially considering rich people generally marry other rich people. Your sample size you are parading around is minuscule.
