"As the recession worsens, a lot of rich men are finding their gold-digging wives are taking to their heels."

Recession: When the money goes, so does the toxic wife

Mr. Paulson.....I wonder if this could be applied to the TARP ??? Just rename it the TWRP (toxic wife relief program) or aka "the twerp"

The moral of the story...............marry a rich ugly woman!

"How is the credit crunch worse than a divorce? You lose half your net worth but you are still stuck with your wife!"

[eXpat]

so, there´s a good side to all this mess

Imagine that, nothing but gold diggers. Who would have thought it possible?!

LOL I was born and raised in SoCal ... guess I'm not running in the right crowd.

But then I dislike shopping, except online. I don't like crowds, and I find most stores boring. And having more stuff just means more stuff to take care of.

When you're as rich as these guys were then you're rich enough to sock away enough money and make enough contacts to deal with problems like this before they become issues.

Of course you could always just find a decent wife in the first case.
I had numerous tests for my wife before we married. Some included little things like home made lasagna from scratch. Some where more extreme like manning the cement mixer while I poured the slab.

I figure anyone that's willing to load and mix 5 yards of concrete by hand is probably not going to bail when times get tough.

"Toxic wife". A new hip buzz-term has just been coined.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('RedStateGreen', '.')..Are there really people like that??

[uNkNowN ElEmEnt]

Oh wah, what a binch of whiners. What did they expect? like they are any less guilty of choosing a woman that shallow and of high maintenance.

All they wanted was some pretty eye candy on their arms if they'd actually wanted someone of substance they would have seen beyond the veneer. They only have themselves to blame.

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man & she won't have to worry
she'll dress up all in lace and go in style.

great post, hope_full, indeed the MSM has brainwashed so many people and so gradually that we men hardly realize what we're missing. I do like women with character and skills but I do wonder how much I'm influenced by the MSN in wanting to "have" a woman for her looks. My guess is a fair amount, and I'm not sure how to rid myself of that influence, I'd probably have to cleanse the whole of society!

A woman might love a man because he is a corporate climber in the city rat race. The man might decide later that he wants to live a more simple life away from the bustle. The woman loses interest because the man has fundamentally changed.

A man might love a woman because she looks real pretty, as she ages she stops being pretty so the man loses interest because the woman has fundamentally changed.

Why is it that I can walk around the streets of a poor capital city and have beautiful woman treat me like I'm George Clooney? Because I might as well be a millionaire there. If I were a millianaire in the UK, I'd have many beautiful english girls finding me attractive.

I hope there is such a thing as a soul mate but I doubt it. I've never seen it for myself and I don't see anyone else with a companion who share some kind of psychological bond, everything seems to be about convenience.

Might I be so bold as to suggest that "toxic wives" have their counterpart: "toxic husbands?"

People want what they want and they deal with the consequences. The same goes for men and women. It's just that they have opposing objectives. In the end it's hardly rational. It's instinct. It has more to do with the reptilian part of our brains than anything else.
