    She wasn't ever the face of any type of endorsement deal. He was.
    She didn't appear in any movies. He did.
    She doesn't have any residual income earning potential from a career or name. He does.

    So, who is she to now benefit from his life long hard work.
    He has the recurring health issues caused by said life long hard work.
    She doesn't.
    His name is worth some weight and obviously a few dollars. Hers is not.
    All she has done is lay on her back while he impregnated her and spit out a few kids which I'm sure she didn't raise solely on her own. The argument that she mothered these kids and therefore she should be compensated for what she is SUPPOSED TO DO carries no weight with me....

    To compare or attempt to liken your situation to hers is like comparing apples to oranges...Where as YOU ACTUALLY PUT IN TIME AND HARD WORK INTO A BUSINESS, she has benefited from a franchise if you will, that Hulk Hogan built on his own merit. I'm sorry but I don't think she deserves ANYTHING.

    As far as prenups are concerned, I think that 99 percent of the time they are not made to benefit both parties. Usually, that's the point...and it's not just men that do it..Women have prenups drawn up as well. Ex: Britney Spears. Kfed didn't really get s h i t after they got divorced.....I'm sure his only saving grace is that he's getting child support.
    The fact is, you don't know what she contributed. I used my situation as an example. There are plenty of people who think they know my situation and what I may or may not have contributed. Some of those people think I am just some stupid woman who sits at the front desk as mooches off of my man...OR that think my endorsement deals are only because of Dan's talent or whatever it may be. Therefore, I don't deserve sh!t. No one except Dan and I really know what I have contributed and what I deserve. In a "stars" case, there is such a thing as a manager. Often times, you don't ever hear or see that manager publicly. Therefore, you may not even know they exist. Often times this manager is a significant other or family member. Maybe this was her job...which is similar to my job

    You are right to say that she "spit out" his children. Raising children is hard work. Especially when the other half is constantly on the road, I'm sure. It is a job. A job that is gets little recognition and little appreciation. I'm not in their relationship so I'm going to keep it general. Generally speaking, when a woman stays home, it is a decision made between both parties for her to do so. There is probably a benefit of some sort for her to do so, or else she probably would have had to get a job. You can't think that a woman stays home for 30 years and her man doesn't agree with the situation.

    There is a certain sacrifice that a woman makes when she stays home. Whether you want to agree with me or not. I experience it all of the time. If I leave now (we'll use me as an example), I have nothing. I have spent the last 7 years building up my man and his dreams and his career and even intertwined mine into that. In doing so, I have sacrificed all of the plans I had in the works for myself for the sake of a partnership. In the end, that's what a marriage is...a partnership.
