Bezos Divorce

Married again at 55. I insisted on a prenup. She has far more assets than I do. Couple reasons I insisted on one. I needed her to know that I don’t need nor do I care about her money. I have my own and I’m fine with what I have. And gave all the kids some peace of mind.

I agree with others here. If something were to happen between us I don’t see myself walking down the aisle again.

Some of you picked up on the idea of "Live Close By, Visit Often" -- the song by K. T. Oslin that I referred to in my first post in this thread.
K. T. Oslin wrote and recorded "80's Ladies" which is probably familiar. She is now 78, looking back on a career of some liberating lyrics that were often a whole lot of fun. She wrote from the angle of a well-seasoned woman -- even titled one of her albums "Songs from an Aging Sex Bomb."

I listened to a lot of country-western music back in the 90's. I like C-W songs because they tell a story.

I am now linking "Live Close By, Visit Often" here for you, BUT, with a disclaimer: This link is from youtube and as we all know youtube gloms ads onto the beginning of every video and those ads change every time AND you usually can skip them. I have no control over what ad will pop up before this song. You could get a political ad or an underwear ad or some scary ad from the pharmaceutical industry. If you do not like the ad, do not blame me, just skip it and move on to the song.

If you listen to these lyrics and this beat, you should find yourself smiling and maybe even bopping around a little. We could use some smiles around this joint lately. :)

Here you have it, "Live Close By, Visit Often" by K. T. Oslin:

Thanks. Never heard this song before nor had I ever heard of this artist.

That’s not correct. I’m married only once. The first two were internships, apprenticeships or just practice.

I totally agree! I just hope my wife doesn’t find out.

Boomer, thank you for that link. Although I love country music and played in a few country bands to get though college I had never heard of K.T. Oslin. I looked her up and discovered she is just a few months younger than I am and worth $66M so she certainly has been successful! Her song says it all as far as I am concerned.

Some of my post marital experiences with women have been along this line which is one of the reasons why I choose to remain single and enjoying myself. SHELLY WEST JOSE CUERVO 1983 YouTube - YouTube

In HS I loved this tune. It was "our song" with an early girlfriend who told her father about it. He said it was not very nice. She didn't care.

Maybe I was just cut out to be a single guy. lol.

LOL

We learn as we go....

Ugh, where were you when I need your sound advise :shocked: :1rotfl: I do love me some KT. You may also like Lucinda Williams. She’s a little rougher around the edges but is one cool chick.

If your goal is to make sure that your children get your inheritance, then I don't think a prenup is the best way to achieve it. You can set up a trust or just have separate bank accounts or make other financial arrangements. I think a prenup is more appropriate for younger people, where one spouse has a lot of money and wants to protect it from a nasty divorce. One problem with a prenup is that you must disclose all of your assets or the prenup can be challenged and nullified.

Ive been told the single men in TV are looking for “a nurse with a purse!”

You mean old gold diggers? Why not just hire a nurse, a lot less trouble, in my opinion. If you marry for money, you better be prepared to dance for the piper!

Nothing bothers me. I have been married twice!

It’s sad as I read this. I have been married 3 times. I was completely fair before , during and after. My ex’s are still friends... I wish them well. I have given anything I wanted to my family, I’m not leaving it for death. Really? The money? My spouse will get everything in death. I choose him. I took his name. It’s my death name. I am apart of his family in every aspect even though his kids are gimme- gimme. At this age my spouse needs anything he can get as he can’t work anymore- consider that. You would rather give everything to your children whom are perfectly capable of earning their own?- no money is not important to them as a person the same age or close to you. Consider that. When I leave this world it is completely ethically right. Everyone got everything heirloom while I am alive. Money too for that matter. I had to earn mine, they can earn theirs. My spouse can rest knowing he will not struggle. As far as marriage again. Lol. Old baggage comes with each person at this age- I learned that getting married at 50- no way. Not again. Not worth it. Everything will be divided after my spouse 6 children equally. Even the brats that hate me just for marrying him.

In case you missed it — or are feeling nostalgic
 

Once upon a TOTV time, far, far away — about a week ago — there was a unique thread where nobody got snarky or hateful. (well, except for one post — that got deleted)

Although this thread was not specific to life in TV, it seemed to be of interest because the topic is certainly appropriate, and perhaps useful, to a “mature” audience, some quite knowledgeable about later in life marriages.

AND, there was no agenda or pontificating or linking ad nauseam from narrow, politically motivated sources.

Anyway, this is what a decent TOTV thread can look like. That does not happen much around here anymore. This one— “Prenups” — had some idea-exchanges, some advice, and even a little fun. A rarity, lately. (sigh)

Would you buy a home here and opt not to have hurricane insurance..
Just say en disaster waiting to happen
