Not that kind of working.

Actually I know some females who had to give money to their exes when they divorced. The women's money came from working.

Not if you marry a woman richer than you.

er, but isn't insurance for calamities that might happen but probably won't?

Financial loss in the event of a divorce is a racing certainty (if you're a
bloke!)

Maybe he should have used his skills to recruit some insurance against divorce.

There will be insurance to cover the potential financial loss, and if not then there should be so an opportunity for someone's plan b to come up with a new insurance product and make a killing.

Though maybe it should be covered by the theft part of home insurance.

"Ten years ago, Craig Coles was living in his dream home, a palatial villa complete with a swimming pool in southern Spain, with his wife and their two beautiful children. He never expected to be spending his forties living in a rented flat in East London with an Albanian divorcee and a 24-year-old Dutch girl.

He never imagined he’d be returning each night from his job in the City as a top insurance recruiter and waiting patiently for each of his flatmates to finish in the kitchen before cooking himself dinner-for-one, then spending the evening watching television in his bedroom - the only place where he can enjoy some privacy.

On the weekends, his children Ashton, seven, and Lily, nine, come to stay. They sleep on camp beds lined up next to his own bed, waking early to make pancakes together before the others are up, hurrying out to spend the day in a park or museum - as their playing might disturb the other tenants."

Which bit of this story are you finding discomforting?

[SueEllen]

so in one post she was too stupid to realise he was an asshole and in the next she is too complex to be accused of being money grubbing.

Of course whoever he stays with is going to suffer.

I think you have a reading comprehension problem - or are you in the habit of not understanding posts you quoted.

AtW had better keep away from women then. He is still saving up for a sofa.

I'll put my sofa into prenup for sure, aft it gets delivered

[AtW]

He may be ok if they are squirrel lovers and think Brummie-Russian accents are sexy.

Women are more complex than that even if they are one of the money grabbing bints.
