Hulk Hogan getting a divorce

[Turbo04]

Tracy. You are no Linda Hogan. I know alot of the hard work you put in and there is probably about 90% more on top of what I know. In your case, you deserve everything you get because alot of the stuff you guys have would not have been possible without you.

Turbo04. No, she doesn't deserve something just because she was his partner. You say we don't know what it was like in the Hogan house, hell, we can watch 5 years of it on TV. Sure it maybe fancied up, but you can tell what kind of person she is by watching the TV show.

The whole problem isn't that she shouldn't get half of the accumulated wealth they made together. It's the fact that in todays society, that is never enough for the women. They not only want half, they want the house, the furniture, the car and then they want Alimony on top of that. Payments made to them each month for what they are "Accustomed" too. So you are basically paying for their lifestyle that you provided them while you were married. So not only did you pay for them during the marriage, you get to pay for them after too. Let's not even get into kids and child support.

Turbo04 you talk a big game now, but when the tables get turned, you will eat your words. None of us will probably see that day, but it will come. It always does. I'm not saying I hope it happens to you, just saying I won't be surprised if it does. It's inevitable. Like I said, human nature will always win out. And human nature is to always want better.

So forget for a second that we are talking about Linda Hogan. Let's say we are talking about some other woman, who has not worked, but stayed at home with the kids, done nothing but try and be good mother and wife. Supported and loved her family. The husband did not start out rich, but ended up making millions. Decided one day that he no longer loved this woman and wanted out. Going on yours and a lot of people's logic, she is entitled to NOTHING. She worked for years to make sure her family was strong and loving, but in the end it is torn apart because someone changed their mind. So now, having spent years doing nothing but raising a family, she has no means to support her self. That seem fair to you? If so I feel terrible for any wife/or future wife and family you may have. You can't draw a line and say X number of marriages the woman (or man in some cases) should get something if they divorce, and X number should not. The whole idea of a marriage is joining 2 lives into 1. That doesn't mean 67% of one life and 89% of the other. EVERYTHING. If you can't handle that, simple enough, don't get married.
As for eating my words, what big game am I talking? All i've done is voice my views on this subject, I'm not running around saying I'm right and everyone else is wrong. If something happened to my marriage and I got a divorce, well I would be crushed. But let's look at this way:

If I end up being sucessful in my views what do I get: A lifetime of happiness with someone I love, possibly kids and a bigger family down the line, being able to pass knowlege down the gererational line....ya know kinda things a little more important the money. Oh and not watching my back every second of the day cause the world is out to screw me.

Now if I were to follow some ppls views what do I get : The possiblity of keeping my money (losing half to a spouse is only one of many ways to lose your money), a bitter cynical materalistic outlook on life that everyone is out to get me so I better keep my money on lockdown, the remote chance that somoene out there can deal with my attitude and I'll be able to trust them enough to love and marry them...

thanks I'll take the chance at happpiness, guess we can see after we all die if I was succesful or not...well maybe cause I'll prob die, but you money men will more then likely have enough to keep death away...and my wife will have taken all mine.
