Some interesting views in this thread some coming from the school of hard knocks. Glad I read it.
A few thoughts. Buy the next Sunday paper and turn to the section honoring couples observing their 50th wedding anniversary with a wedding day picture and a 'today' picture, then reflect on this: Men marry women hoping they will never change, while women marry men with the mission of 'changing' him.

I realize the above paragraph may seem to be a bit twisted, but consider this, there's plenty of wisdom to the saying: The grass is seldom greener on the other side.
I agree too with those who cautioned to give it a lot of thought before jumping into the hobby, for there's only a remote chance of ever returning to the normal side.

I didnt hobby with this wife for many years (didnt need to, she was putting out just fine), but as soon as she started going bonkers and being a cunt all the time, I knew I could just go get some strange that would be 1/1000th of the effort - and I did!
Another item to consider: Some say the liberal's goal isn't to reward success. Others will say family law attorney's goal is the same. If you do make a substantial income, it may be better to heed this: If it flies, floats, or fucks - - - RENT IT! If you are affluent, divorses are very expensive regardless if or if not you've been faithful.
I'll now circle the wagons and brace for the onslaughts.

A wealthy client of mine lost ALOT of money to his wife who left him. He married a russian girl who screwed him over then left, taking even more money, then remarried the first wife because she was out of money and left the other dude! He never said how much he lost $$ wise but it was enough he never had to give up the house, his cars (prob 20 collectors, high end etc) or anything else... Sorry but If I had that much scratch, I'd NEVER buy again - RENT ONLY!
