I think youmight be missing one definition of "trophy wife." - con_carne Jun 19, 09:24 3

- i knew a chick a couple years ago who divorced her husband mainly because, she said, he was an alchy - kare Jun 19, 09:24 18
  - One ex gf of mine went to jdate for similar reasons. She is now engaged to him and just convverted to Judaism! -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:28 7

        I am the most non-religious, agnostic fellow you could ever meet. *shrug* -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:38
      - wait, she was claiming your jewishness rubbed off on her so therefore she qualifies for jdate? -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:35 1
        
        Yes -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:35
      - yeah, that's kind of not okay in my book... -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 09:34 1
        
        I know, right? She even asked me to go along, were I ever asked or something. Naturally, I refused. -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:44
  - I can understand money being desirable, but I sure can't understand accepting something like heavy drinking just to get the money. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:25 9
    - if money is desirable, make your damn own! -- nm - kare Jun 19, 09:27 8
      - But then, how are you supposed to be subservient to the male? Duh. -- nm - con_carne Jun 19, 09:47

        I don't think it bodes well, for the long-term success of their relationship, but hey, if they're both getting what they want out of it... -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 09:33 2
        
        so they both move on to the next model. no harm no foul. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 09:34 1
        
        in an ideal world, yes. -- nm - znufrii Jun 19, 09:35
