I’m gonna be honest, I’m not asking for a friend, I’m asking for myself. Our daughter (24) married this man (65) in September. She herself stated money was the main reason, and he knows it but it doesn’t bother him. Both my husband & I are having a very hard time getting used to the idea.

    I’ll add one thing to other’s responses. Make sure she, not they, but she is covered financially. If she spends 10 years with him, not developing her career, and he drops her, will she be OK?

    I.E. its perfectly OK for them to have this arrangement, it’s not OK for her to be in a situation where she feels trapped by money.

      Bahaha dude u realized she “trapped” herself in that scenario?

      How did we get to a place where people don’t deserve the consequences of their actions?

      She only “deserves this” if it makes her rich???

      Do u see how fucked in the head you are for thinking that?

        How is “make sure she has a backup plan” anything at all like what you said?

          That’s someone who is mad because they can’t marry someone for money and no one wants to buy pictures of their feet.
