Not my experience. I have known a dude for about 24 years. He married a true fashion model. Stunning to the max. 5'11" without heels. When they were dating, she complained that his Porsche was last years' model and that she wanted him to look good in the latest model. The wedding was hyper glamorous. They housed couples in a castle for two nights. He went into debt. Within a week after the wedding, he lost his job. Within two days, she filed for divorce. She ultimately made him liquidate his Porsche and walked away with his dignity. But without his debt.

Curses withheld.

That's what happens to men when their wrong brain takes over. For all his education etc., how can anyone be that naive?

Relationships with people whose backgrounds or situations are too different.

Job, car and house vs. no job, no car and no house = eh, not such a good idea.

Single, never married, no children vs. separated with children = bad idea.

That's my personal experience -- relationships that I've been in.

Yes, Ian, his chart would be great and the synastry, too, if you have it.

I bet we need certain asteroids, too. Not sure which.

Sorry. I have no clue about his birthday let alone his birth time. And he's now a college professor at a leading institution, so maybe he was a butthead but he's not really a doofus

Typical rich kid syndrome.

yeah YTA, I don't think that should be a hindrance either. Sometimes two heads are better than one & they end up building empires together.

I've made so many mistakes in life but never in love.
It's not like I fall head over heels for anyone either, it has to be someone special.
Whoever has my heart is incredibly ******* lucky and should treasure it forever..
To me love is the only real thing in this world.

100% rule, meaning I have to be 100% certain they want to be in the relationship or it's time to end it.

Wasted far to much time with attractive, but flaky women to ever put up with it henceforth.

But YTA, that can't happen to the wealthy/powerful/successful, why to hear one tell it they are dripping super model types who no doubt merely are with them for their lack of hairline and waist.

Irony aside, just shows one has to be sure they are into you for "you", not for what you have to offer from a resource pov.

He's pretty great looking, and still is. He's magazine cover material and modeled for Brooks Brothers. With family dough. And a PhD.

Was naive and not street smart, yes. Don't assume the resourceful are all dreadful looking. Unless you have a 44 shoulder with a 35 waist, and are in your mid-50s, please take it easy. The guy was captain of his college crewe team, and they were national champions.

You have quite a self esteem, but please contain yourself.

48/34

Anywho, the real point is not to poke fun at you, rather to point out that it happens to everyone up and down the resource scale.

Wealth is not immunity from it, neither is poverty, or middle classness or what have you.

So that goes to say we shouldn't splurge our money for glamourous-but-pointless wedding. That is more like a money mistake. Then again the model girlfriend was kind of too materialistic.

Outside in, it appeared she was his "dream girl" so he went all out, he lost sight of the fact the resource acquisitions (nice wedding, vacations, etc) can never replace actual connection and love and enjoyment of each other's company in a genuine manner.

I had no wedding and no honeymoon. In fact, I also had no ring. No one blessed the marriage and both set of parents ditched us. Yet, my marriage worked out, didn't it?

Doesn't surprise me YTA as the basis for it was not limos and castles and fashion models but genuine love for each other.

Which is exactly my point.

I don't know if it's our traits or something but I second YTA. If it is true love, both people willing to work a way out from it, nothing stands in the way.
