I was a witness for a attorney friend of mine when he got his divorce. His wife was a good looking, well built lady but she was all fake in public and a social climber. They divorced after 14 yrs of marriage.
Then I was his best man when he remarried. For 9 yrs I heard almost daily what a good wife he had on this go round. Then he got the news. She was draining his bank account a little at a time by putting money back in another account of hers, paying her lazy grown daughter's new car notes, taking separate vacations with another man and supporting her aged parents, all with his money since she did not work. Once he found out, he weighed his options and decided to stay with her and live in the same house but she could do what she wanted. It was cheaper than divorcing her.
My first divorce cost me more than $200,000 in 1969. My lawyers say the current wife would likely end up with something like $3200 per month plus half the property and my consulting business. This is in addition to my retirement that she already gets one half of and if I die, she gets all of it.
A person that says he is happily married is either kidding himself or has his wife within earshot.
