Sorry to hear about your heartbreak GG , to have loved someone who now lets you down is a horrible feeling .
If I may give some advice when you are ready for the next , play down your wealth , be the average Joe .
Have a mate who went over to Russia on the trip called ( Meet Russian Brides he was a bit burnt at the time, when the group met the Lady's in each city he asked through the interpreter ~ one's he fancied ( I need to screw you to see if we are sexually compatible ) before any thoughts of marriage .
Well he did dip his wick all over Russia & came back as unhappy as he left .
Real Love has no comparison , do try again when the times right .

Sorry to hear about this GG... what proportion of your assets did she manage to get away with? wouldn't you be holding gold, bonds, stocks and various other asset classes which aren't so liquid and easy to take away??
But this is an interesting lesson for me.. i'll be very careful when i find someone to get married to..

And here lies the problem. If wealthy older men play down their wealth, what do they have to offer to the younger attractive woman (that they seem to go after)?
Please note: This is just a passing comment, as I've seen this sort of thing happen numerous times. It's certainly not directed at GG in anyway. GG could have George Clooney looks for all I know!

You are a very lucky man then , lets hope that GG will be so in the near future, only problem is when having tasted such pain the natural reaction is to build that emotional wall .

gg, I had bit a problem with the exit of Sollette #4. Yep it was a bit messy but surprisingly, for some reason she didn't fight me over the Toyota Crown or my Dave Allen VHS collection. I was a bit cut up for a while especially after all the money I'd spent on her English lessons and cultural awareness classes.
I thought I'd found a stable cultured lifetime female companion, a step up from previous attempts with waitresses, pole dancers and short haul flight attendants. I suppose my work & life style are not the most congruous environment to live in. My industry and field of expertise has a high relationship failure rate. Yet I've now survived quite well and am very appreciative of the support Dr Lindeman offered during some rough days (and nights). Also you know the old saying "Time cures all with a bottle of Jack".
But I still feel a bit guilty about some of those early morning long phone calls I made to those understanding directory assistance lasses during the lonely periods of recovery. It's a bit harder to get a real girl now but keep persisting with the robotic voice, I find a deep broad north eastern European lisping accent often confuses the voice recognition software and you'll eventually get a real human, with a 70% confidence factor of ending up speaking with a girl. I'm very polite and now always ask how is the weather in Bangalore.
Although I didn't come home to a denuded abode, this did happen to a mate of mine Tim, when his relationship soured with a trainee cheerleader from a now defunct coastal leagues club. Everything went that was movable, including the carpet tiles in the guest room ensuite, which we believe were all relocated to a mystery location somewhere west of Baulkham Hills just past Hillscam way. He still fondly recalls using his plastic camping shower until the bathroom fittings were replaced. I don't believe it was all Tim's fault but he does have an unnatural attraction with the rock singer Nena, you know the 99 lufteballon chick, that may have contributed to the relationship's demise. Thank goodness the breakup didn't comprise his new identity gained courtesy of the witness protection program as a result of some minor involvement with truck stop and a 24 Hour Chemist with poor security. I've never thought it was prudent to asked him where that new Harley came from either.
gg, my advice is to get back on the horse as soon as you can, there's plenty of lovely caring ladies willing to be seen in the companionship of an articulate, stately, worldly, educated gentleman as you. It's a pity you live so far away from where I am based, I would love to introduce you to some of my friends that frequent the "Boardie" on the weekend.
There's one lovely semi-petite ex-long hauler named Nicki that I'm sure you hit it off with. She's been 48 hours sober, she's only got two more procedures of the laser tattoo removal treatment to go (and with a high neck collar you hardly notice anyway). She does mean pirouettes like Steve Nicks on the dance floor in piano bar and does a great bass air guitar impression of Suzi Quatro. Although her leathers are a big tight but hey that's what Tony Ferguson's for anyway. She's now not as feisty as she used to be but she did once restrain a juiced up front rower in Business Class all by herself after a misundestanding about responisble alcohol serving just before the aircraft diverted to Nadi. She still has the Tuff-Tie restraints mounted in a display case in her unit as testament to her nimbleness and sense of duty.
If you'd like to know more about her I'll see if she'll let me post her pic and contact details, although her mobile wont be reconnected til Thursday.
Hang in there gg, it could be worse. Imagine if you'd also invested with Manny !!
I'm predicting a bull run with the ladies very soon.

Gosh GG, I am so sorry for the manner in which you found out about the separation. No-one deserves to come home to such abandonment.
I know that you are hurting right now, even though you started this as a financial kind of thread, but obviously it is all rather crappy for you right now.
And indeed if this is true
Good on you Gav, hope that feeling remains as you traverse through the ups and downs that life brings. Sometimes those feelings are all that you have left to hang on to, and even those get very strained at times.
GG I hope that you will find someone who enjoys your company soon, but perhaps find someone who doesnt want or need the commitment that marriage requires.

I havent read any of your personal reflection/extra curricular stories, but if indeed your behaviours matched your emotions then I am very sorry for your loss. But, perhaps you need to think about whether the behaviours you demonstrated during your marriage indeed reflected that you understood what love in a marriage means. Maybe she felt abandoned too, emotionally. Just guessing from the other posts here.

Hi GG
Sorry to hear
Obviously you probably dont want to go in depth on the forum, but if you have 4 failed marriages, is there a common thread to what went wrong.
you come across as someone who is interesting and intelligent, so I am sure u must have given it some thought.
problem is that most men need a female companion,loneliness is a hard thing to conquer, so the question is how to get involved with a good sort.
after 25 yrs with a wonderful woman, I feel blessed.
I think woman are the most highly refined of anything on the planet, nothing can compare to a really good one.
having seen various friends and family have not so good experiences, and the insight of my partner, who does much marital counselling, here is what i believe are pre-requisites.
1) must be kind hearted...any evidence of harshness or cruelty, forget it
2) similar intellectual capacity
3) matched sex drives
4) similar assets
5) know the person for long enough for initial chemistry to wear off
many might disagree and I could add more, I went through this mathematically with someone close recently, who was smart and wealthy, and we realised that just the above ruled out at least 99.5%
for a mature person, such a partner is mighty hard to find, they are usually long term partnered!
having said that, there is much to be imagined for the prospect of hunting the field, I mean there a BILLIONS of women out there..i need to stop now..
good luck

Mate I am in a worse position just paid 4k for 2 acres on a river bank over seas and getting out of Australia for good on the 22 Oct to build a house for about another 5k and the bad news I am 59 and have to decide which 24yr to settle down with and wait until I can get my pension.
All the best, lot more to follow in your foot steps and with the Feminazi taking control most of you left are in trouble.
As Erroll Flynn said women are like Elephants good to look at but not to own

I'm sure the girls were unhappy as well. I couldn't do that though I'd have to live with someone before any thoughts of marriage.
It's their choice, but playing up wealth will obviously tend to attract the wrong types, well at least the wrong type to live with and marry.
There are plenty out there. Are you genuine? Are your mates genuine? I'm guessing you think so, so I ask you why females would be any different. For every bad male experience, there's a bad female experience. There are some bad experiences here, so there are going to be some bitter opinions. Part of the problem is that many males are attracted to the wrong types, or act in a way that attracts the wrong types (such as splashing money around).
