Marrying A Man Is Easy, Marrying His Mother Is Not.


wealthymattersIt is my observation that two women cannot share a man and a woman is more possessive of her son than she is of her husband. So it is a natural reaction for every woman to resent the son’s wife who not only displaces the mother in terms of affection but also in terms of attention . In the normal course of events the mother chooses her son’s bride so she is more amenable to the new woman in her son’s life and unless the bride turns out to be a monster, the relationship can be cordial if not pleasant and loving. But God forbid, the man chooses his own bride, the mother already has her hackles up and for the young woman to win her heart she has to climb mountains, do somersaults, hang upside down, walk over coals and smile through every calamity. Marrying a man is easy, marrying his mother is not.

Let Go – Make It Easy On Yourself


every relationship has a course to run and when the time comes for that relationship to end it does . There could be any number of reasons for the death of a relationship – the physical re-location of a person, a clash of ideas and thoughts, the redundancy of the person and ultimately the actual death of a person. It could be something that happens suddenly or something that happens over time but happens it surely does.

 

 

Heiresses Beware!


wealthymattersHere are some words to ponder.The whole story is here:Link

I can’t help but wonder what irresistible attraction a liar and a cheater holds for a young well educated woman with a good well paying job: two of these women were investment bankers,  one working in Canada and the other in England, who had no dearth of good proposals coming their way? Where does education, logic and good sense go when it comes to a man who has a sketchy past, an erratic job record and above all an inherent character flaw of being dishonest?

Mesalliances


wealthymattersMany people find my criteria of a potential spouse hard to stomach.There  always the charges of elitism,entitlement,greed and a paucity of romantic feelings.Today I am glad to find the following,penned by an older person I admire.She’s been married for three decades and has raised two very successful daughters.I’d be happy to be like her,when I reach her stage in life.Anyways, what’s so excessive in expecting men in their  late thirties to have found a measure of business and social success,have some savings ,understand something about relationships and be ready for the constraints imposed by responsibilities?

For the past several months now I’ve been hearing stories of how good girls from good families are finding spouses in men who normally won’t even be considered suitable  let alone be eventually chosen as Mr. Right. This is a problem across the board , one faced by every community and from every part of the world. Every mother of a daughter says that she can’t find a good match for her daughter while every mother of a son says that she can’t find a suitable bride for her son. Obviously this has led to lowering the bar which has resulted in some very disappointing and unexpected matrimonial alliances…..

Today I heard of yet another case of a girl making an unusual choice: a man professionally as far removed as possible from her “industrial” family and  geographically, culturally and socially at the other end of the spectrum but as the other idiom goes.Marriages are made in heaven and lived in hell!
