Interesting. Should we women walk away from wealth to avoid unpleasantness? Only if what you take away can really sustain you and your dreams. I was widowed at 45. My first husband was irresponsible with money and I was in a precarious financial situation after he died. Years after his death, after struggling and being very broke, I remarried. He is very generous with me financially and I helped him raise his then young teenage daughter who had behavioral and mental health issues.

If he were to begin mistreating me I and I wanted out, I imagine he would win any court fight...So, unless he was physically abusive, I'd probably stick with him

Before I met him I really hated opening the fridge and finding it empty or having my water cut off mid-shower. Nobody wants to be ignored but I could still find happiness in life, even if I had a mean spouse, never mind a neglectful, nasty spouse. I get love from my girlfriends and my kid and step-daughter.

Gladly, my second husband is a peach...he's probably walk away and leave me everything anyway...
