Tigger, she would marry him tomorrow but he is in control and she could leave at any time- with nothing, he would even make her fight for the child maintenence.
In reality she accepts it because he treats her well, he is doing it deliberately, seeing what happened to other men.
The contrast is stark anyone with money can be a target.
I have known these nephews since they were children they are very good prospects as husbands, hard working and provided a good lifestyle for their families, if they have any faults it's because they work too hard and are too generous.
You don't know what goes on behind closed doors, but if there was any abuse there would have been signs, but the only signs are £signs. One left with over £150K value the other 2 around £100k each and they are all going to get child maintenence.
There are plenty of examples of gold diggers who marry and have a couple of children then leave, one lives next door to me, she has 4 children, by 3 husbands and 1 boyfriend who got away. Always choosing men with money and stripping as much a possible from them.
You see divorce at a distance and shrug your shoulders, when it happen close to home it hurts, at least is doesn't affect my own children so I'm not going to loose any sleep over it. I do have 4 grandsons young at present and I do fear for their prospects in marriage, let's hope they don't get caught.
