Part II of a Report by Tara Winter Wilson

Toxic Wife Syndrome- "She is the woman who gives up work as soon as she marries, ostensibly to create a stable home environment for any children that might come along, but who then employs large numbers of staff to do all the domestic work she promised to undertake, leaving her with little to do all day except shop, lunch, luxuriate. Believe me, there is no shortage of the breed and I've been inundated with horror tales about them."

Women like this are successful only because there are guys who believe at their core that marriage is essentially a bargain over sex.

If I ever get to a point in my life when I can afford to buy staff for my wife, then I'm not really going to care how she spends her time and/or my money. Because frankly, I'll have so much of the lovely, lovely green folding stuff that it's not going to hurt to pass it around.

Half of a million dollar fortune is still half a million dollars.

And to be honest, anyone with that much money probably got it from feeding off the work of much harder working people and they will never see a penny of it. So in a way it's an apt punishment.

I once heard that Melania Trump was asked, would you be with Trump if he wasn't rich? And she responded, would he be with me if I wasn't beautiful? Sounds about right.

ThePinkSuperhero nails it - nasty old men marry gorgeous women fifteen years younger than them, placing so much attention on their wife-to-be's physical appearance that they forget to investigate whether she is in fact a cruel, soulless vampire. If you don't know that much about someone before you marry them, it's a safe bet you aren't marrying for love, and it's silly to expect that they are.

Not to inject this discussion with an actual issue, but what about how the courts go about awarding money to short-term spouses in wealthy relationships? The focus of this article is on the women who take advantage of these situations. People take advantage of opportunities. That is not news. But in the case of the large monetary awards to short-term spouses, the opportunity exists because of the court system.

Is this right? If a super-rich guy marries someone who is a waitress and is not rich at all and we are married for three years, does everyone feel that she should get half of my wealth? Does that make sense? Would it be a bad idea to just make sure that she is put in a better position than she could have reasonably expected to be in had she not ever married the guy?

We cynically say that the superficial bride is in it for money and that the superficial groom is in it for sex. One of those motives seems to be backed up a bit by the law.

Is that a secret? Is there a rich man in the world who doesn't know that when he gets a divorce, he's going to have to shell out some cash? Get a prenup or marry well. Or both. It's not that hard. If you're rich, and you marry without a prenup, that's pretty dumb. I can't say I feel too bad for these rich guys (who are still rich when the whole thing ends). Even for Paul McCartney, who is coming out as the Nice Guy in his whole battle- I feel sorry for him on a personal level, but on the other hand, people talked to him about this before he got married- I believe his children were veeeeery against his relationship with Heather Mills.

If a super-rich guy marries someone who is a waitress and is not rich at all and we are married for three years, does everyone feel that she should get half of my wealth? Does that make sense?

It might, yes. Let's say she manages the house/kids for 3 years, and he makes an extra 10 million dollars because he's freer to do whatever it is he does that makes him rich. It's not his money, it's THEIR money, as long as they're married.

I was under the impression that it worked the other way around, too....If a super-rich woman married a penniless guy without a prenup, and they were together for a few years, the law would work the same way, right? She would have to give him some of her wealth? I really don't know. It would be pretty unfair if the law was gender specific, but I assumed it went both ways.

Yes, I believe so. Celeb example: Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey. When they married, he had more money, but they did not sign a prenup (in CA, a community property state). Over the course of the marriage, she made the bulk of their fortune, and ended up having to fork a chunk of it over when they divorced (they settled out of court, but it rumored he got less than half but more than the pennies her camp initially offered).

Since that's the widely understood social and legal contract you (or the not-you super-rich guy; it's hard to tell here) entered when you married the waitress, uh, yeah.
posted by Skot at 9:24 AM on March 2, 2007


The laws in the US are different for different states. I know that in PA, you can leave a marriage with everything that you entered it with but all the wealth that the two of you acquired during the time is common property. So if one of you owned a house when you got married, that would still be owned by the same person after the divorce but any increase in value of that house would have to be split.

If you're rich, and you marry without a prenup, that's pretty dumb.

Regardless of wealth, I can't imagine getting a prenup. It seems the most unromantic, depressing, cynical thing ever. I don't understand how anyone can vow 'to have and to hold from this day forward; for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part' while deciding who keeps the Manhatten pied-à-terre and who gets the Mercedes.

I'm not saying that people should be prevented from getting prenups, I don't think it's any of my (or the government's) business. But plenty of men would never get a prenup for perfectly good reasons, so it's very harsh to just call them 'dumb'.

Well, Aloysius, if a) you had several million and b) you knew this kind of thing could happen...you might change your tune.

If you're rich, you attract people wanting your money; being human, you might be duped. Hence: prenup.

Too much of a mental stretch for this guy, though. I think the underlying sentiment is "why don't women know their place and let men like me use them for free till I tire of them? OH THE HUMANITY!" And you know, not getting much sympathy from me.

I mean, yeah, she went shopping; but she also had to sleep with him. Maybe she was underpaid, for all we know.

I'm not trying to start an argument about prenuptials; it's a personal debate to which there is no right answer, and I certainly don't intend to criticise people who do choose to get prenuptials. I think they're cynical and in some way devalue marriage, but I don't expect everyone else to agree with me.

I took issue with TPS for describing it as a "dumb" decision not to get one — I think couples are perfectly entitled not to get one, and it's not for TPS to criticise someone who just has a different view of marriage from hers.

Of course, cultural differences are a factor here: in Britain, prenuptials have no legal standing, so courts are entitled to ignore them. Perhaps if I were a Hollywood mogul I would have a different opinion — but that's exactly what I'm saying: it's a personal decision that oughtn't to be described as 'dumb'.

Did you read my last comment? I'm hardly about to try and convince you that my opinion of prenuptials is right and yours is wrong, after saying that it's a purely personal decision. One is either repelled by prenups, or thinks they're sensible — it's a personal, emotional opinion, and no one is ever going to be convinced by some random on the internet to change their mind about it.

Hahha, thanks vronsky. Prenups are one of those things I almost hate to defend, because they are, like Aloysius Bear said, really unromantic. And I can't say for sure that I would get one if I got married, because there is that perceived negative implication of, How Can We Say It Will Last Forever If We Prepare For The End? Kids who want to stay virgins until they're married don't carry condoms, right? But I know in my head that it's a wise thing to do, particularly if you have children from a previous marriage, or there's a great asset imbalance coming into the marriage. It's tough.

I work in a tax office. A lot of our churchgoing customers, I tell them they're allowed to deduct their tithes and offerings and they tell me flat out that they don't want to. They feel like it would go against the spirit of the whole thing if they were getting personal benefit out of tithing.

It's not rational — not in the economist's sense of the word. But it's their choice, and as long as they're making it freely and not being coerced by their church, I'm all for it. You do whatever you need to do to feel like a good person, and in the end that matters more than money.

That's what the argument about prenups reminds me of. Sure, they're the smart thing to do, but some people have belief systems — religious or secular — that rule them out. What should they do — take the money and feel like assholes, or lose some money and sleep well at night?

I agree with TPS wholeheartedly on the prenup thing, and I think that part of the problem is this whole expectation that it will last forever. I mean, I hope my marriage will be a good one forever, but if it isn't, I really hope I have the guts to get out of it. Ditto for my partner. And if we had any assets, I think getting a prenup would be the most respectful thing to do. Kind of like what TPS said - I love you so much that in case things go wrong, I want to feel free (or you to feel free) to leave, without worrying about money or fighting with each other for years. Especially if there are kids involved.

I didn't start a discussion about the rights and wrongs of prenups — you said, "If you're rich, and you marry without a prenup, that's pretty dumb."

I said it's unfair to describe someone else's decision about a purely personal, subjective matter as dumb. Personally, I can't see how vowing to love and cherish someone til death do us part is compatible with agreeing how you're going to split up your stuff. You can't seriously vow to do something for the rest of your life, while making contingency plans. If you don't have faith in your spouse not to dump you in a few years and make off with your Porsche, why are you marrying them?

I realise that there are rational, financial reasons for making prenups, but for me these are outweighed by the instinctive, emotional reasons. I certainly don't expect you to be persuaded by these reasons into changing your mind: I'm trying to explain my personal reasons for feeling this way, not trying to persuade anyone else, or criticise other couples' decisions.

There's something weirdly fair about using someone who is using you in return. (Skeevy, but fair.) I'm sure there are a few rich men who genuinely love the woman who's using them; for that matter, I'm sure there are a few trophy wives who genuinely love their keepers. But I think sad arrangements like that are fortunately the minority — most people are bright enough to notice when things are that one-sided.

And of course, if nobody's using anyone, it doesn't belong in this thread. I'm sure there are some arrangements like that too, and more power to 'em.

"Why stay married if you have such contempt for the other person?"

Um, because divorce is costly, destructive and emotionally torturous, for either party?

I think the number of marriages that stay together because of unremitting love is very small. It's possible to have a mutually beneficial cooperative long-term relationship that's more about convenience, mutual support, and fear of loneliness - and probably a lot easier than maintaining a truly loving marriage. People can be mercurial, and the relationship can change for any number of reasons, but sometimes it makes more sense to stay married even if it's unhappy.

I should think there's a corollary, the Toxic Husband Syndrome, with a number of different manifestations: the guy who turns out to be a strip club or prostitute addict; the guy who turns into the abusive wife-beater; the guy who turns into the wife- and children-ignoring workaholic; the guy who becomes a get-rich-quick gambler and loses the house to debt; the guy who turns into the happily unemployed couch potato... to imagine a few.

A couple of those have happened to women I know. To be fair, a couple of guys I know have had their wives transform into toxic people too. It happens.

Sometimes it's just a crapshoot.

Certainly not. On that level, prenups make sense for everyone, even the really poor, or those marrying young (I wonder if there's data out there somewhere on who is getting prenups- I would guess that it's skewed toward older couples, but I'd love to see the numbers).

Why a prenup IS romantic. "I love you enough to want to prove to you I don't want you for your money" and "I want us both to have our own assets and indiviuality, in case our lives go in different directions," which happens even when people don't blow up in a divorce squabble. "We are not rich, but we have various assets, and that is not what our love is about." Being afraid of a prenup is like denial to me -- denial that people can turn out to be other than what you thought they were, denial that people change, denial that you could be mistaken about yourself and start acting like a righteous jerk without knowing it.
