A woman friend of mine in her mid '20's married a guy 30 years older than her about 4 months ago. Why? Because I think the fact he is rich, lives in a big fancy house (which he let her help pick out), makes a lot of money in his job, spends a lot of money on her, drives fancy cars, and provides her a lot of security were key reasons. He is a nice guy and her family and friends seem to like him and accept him. A lot of people though, because of the age difference, don't think the marriage has a lot of future. Do you think that if the marriage does start going south that she would stick it out (assuming it doesn't get physical) because of what she'd be losing? I would think in a marriage where the people are about the same age and things go bad that the likelihood she would leave would be greater than in this situation I described. Any thoughts? I don't want to see her get hurt if things don't work out.

Don't worry, a gold digger is a gold digger. In a divorce she'll get a lawyer and he'll pay pay pay.

The same thing happened to my best friend, and sadly she is no longer my best friend because she is not the humble girl i once knew. I loved her and it was like breaking up but it had to be done. She will pretend she doesn't need the money when they fight but if he really wants a divorce, she will probably do anything to stay. The truth is there is NO way these women will marry these men if the car, the house, the vacations were not involved. He is looking for an attractive woman (arm candy) and she is looking for financial freedom, so if anything goes south she will be willing to stay and she knows it whether she admits it or not. And shes not stupid enough to think if i leave "i will get half" because hes not stupid enough to not have a pre-nup. So I will guarantee you she will stay through the worse, most woman would, and they are lying if they say they wouldn't because those are the ones who have not been addicted to "money and everything it buys."

As long as the money is there she will be there.
No it was not love at first sight and she knows that very well. Girls know much better than us guys how to make these things work.
I see this a lot here. Many times it is even fourty and fifty yearso older.
Money can make dreams come true even if only for a while.

Well she's already married the guy, so you can't really "help" her to not get "hurt". But if she is happy, and they are happy as a couple, then let them enjoy their happiness. None of us know if a relationship will stand the test of time. It's a Leap of Faith and of course Love.

Happiness doesn't have and age limit, nor does failure. If things are meant to be, age difference or not, thngs will work out.

Did it ever occur to you that she loves this man? She gets all those perks, granted, but she also loves her husband. I would imagine if she loves him she will do what ever it takes to keep her marriage, rich or not!!!
