Trying to use a divorce as an "excuse" is stupid too. Divorce is a choice. Don't want to pay the $$$? Don't get the divorce. Deal with it like a man and try and make it work.[/QUOTE]

Amen, I retained my wealth because I have been married for 30 years, even only being 21 years old when I married, we made it work. Of coarse we had our ups and downs, but we gutted it out and are completely happy today. It did help to pick the right one, but it was part of my plan. Some of the guys on this thread that have sympathy because of a divorce probably have been divorced at least once.
