Reply to comment by iAmBalfrog in TIFU by realizing I’m in a practical relationship rather than a loving one. by [deleted]

Some women may do that but I’d say that’s a very small minority. Most women, yes the ones wanting marriage, aren’t doing so for financial gain.

It's not so much doing it for financial gain, but they typically don't have as large a financial risk.

Now this isn't inherently in the wrong, women do give up opportunities typically to become a SAHP. But there are a lot more stories of men going into debt to fund alimony than the other way round.

There's also plenty of high profile stories where it's hard to believe that say MacKenzie Scott would have earnt $38.3billion had she not been in a relationship with Jeff Bezos, yet marrying him and later divorcing him netted her that worth.
