I always have this question in mind but never bother to ask. New forum member Belravos (thanks for sharing BTW) shared his story of his marriage in another thread that how much the cost of an unhappy marriage/divorce outweighs the cost of punting. Obviously there have been some similar stories shared in the forum.
But I just wonder have anyone here married a rich or high income wife? Would this change the whole story. I suppose you will have more spare money to spend and compensation from divorce if it happens?

You wife's income or assets is irrelevant. You are still expected to be the one who provides financially as the man
So whatever is yours is hers.
And whatever is hers is hers.
And whatever assets she has will pass down to your kids. So its of no benefit to you




Well said. This assertion is 100% correct.
I'm expected to provide financially regardless if I am the breadwinner or not. It doesn't matter if her side of the family is loaded with assets and has cash to buy my family multiple properties and give us a good retirement. That won't happen, as all the proceeds will go to our kids. I'm OK with this arrangement, I'll have a more fulfilling life than to rely on others.





Not 100% correct about men losing majority of times and having to provide regardless. Been through divorce twice now, even with kids its almost 50/50 asset split with shared custody. Most couples are even footed these days in terms of incomes and assets. Seen my mates divorce too, its B.S that the guy loses everything.
As for a high net worth female, you wont be touching her shit, guaranteed if she is from a rich family everything is under a trust structure. And if she earns more than you, hahaha, u will be simping and doing all the cooking, cleaning and chores... oh dont forget giving her foot massages every day after work![]()



Good to know. You're one of the lucky few who got off easy. You forgot about the part where the guys gets accused of "domestic violence". Has an AVO put on him. Now she has the kids that you will only see on her terms, if you get to see them at all. She will then weaponize your own kids against you.
And you will be paying child support and she gets the house.
You're assuming that she will play fair and things will be split 50/50 my dude. Its not a happy ending for most men.
For a high net worth female, I would imagine the guy would also be a high net worth guy. As girls tend to marry up socio-economically. So in that case, you are still expected to provide financially on top of doing house chores.



Its up to the family court to decide. Depends what assets are involved, length of marriage, if there was a pre-nup, contributions during the marriage, who gets the kids. Future needs etc. Will be different for everyone.
It will only be 50/50 in a fair and fairy tale perfect world.

How much money in the bank account is considered rich? And how much salary is high? How many assets are considered many? I have to ask first..











As one of my favourite character says: the price of freedom is steep



I’ve already helped one guy get divorced, for three years I heard him complain every day about her till I had enough and booked the solicitors appointment. After that I never heard him complain and I even advised him on his new wife. Truth. Yep I had a profound influence on his destiny.
Some people just need a lil push to get the ball rolling.
