I see that whenever a thread appears on this subject it attracts a lot of vitriol. Is it anything to do with your profession? the fact that you are working away from home or spend inordinate amounts of your time either on this site or waffling on about technology?

Think the problem per se, from my experience with a few guys where this has happened, simply comes down the injustice of the idea. That you you might be working all the hours under the sun, perhaps away from home, to provide a nice life for all involved, and then find yourself being sent down the swaney and wondering why you bothered in the first place.

One of the things Belgium, like France, seems to have got right, is the idea that before you live with/marry someone, it's just common sense to set out a few things on paper. Hence, the free brochures in the PO encouraging people to spend a few minutes with a notaire/notaris before they move in together.

This is yet another reason to discourage marriage. And the native population shrinks as a result. Why should divorced women have the luxury and choice of not working for the rest of their lives? Marriage for women is a business investment. Keep to hookers, they are more honest and up front with the deal… and cheaper.

How very true ; I have outsourced my sex life for some time and I have found this arrangement to be very satisfactory and cost effective.


Somebody said the other day; in apparent shock of my sexual outsourcing that he had never paid for sex;

My how Old Alf at 46 laughed at that one ... dating followed by marriage is the most expensive form of sex.

See the one-fingered salute as posted by Spartacus in the thread about immigrants and green belts for advice on how to issue a proper insult.

Thanks Xenophon, that is high praise indeed coming from an old pro such as yourself.

I realise that the romans probably beat what brains you had out of you or you might have picked up on the sarcasm in the smiley!

Piss poor. Try harder.

Mailman, I know your parents haven't taken you through the birds and bees yet, but I feel obliged to point out that blowing your husband off can't result in a pregnancy.

Radio this morning indicated that in Scotland, she gets half of whatever increases occurred during the marriage regardless of what you turned up with at the start, seems fair to me.

Atw, How many countries are there in the world?

I'm pretty sure France doesn't have one with the UK... IIRC of course

No, a treaty came into force in 1846.

You could also country-hop, and wait for a case to come to court in country A, before moving to country B. She'd give up trying eventually.

Well, she will apply for case in local UK court, which will make decision in her favour in abcentia and then issue warrant for arrest to enforce it - this kind of court avoidance game can only work when the other side is very poor and can't afford lawyers, but given those cases of wealthy guys you can be damn sure there will be enough lawyers who would put time into it as rewards are there to be taken.
