An economist can assign a much different dollar value for men & women for marriage.
The Beatles declared that you "Can't Buy Me Love" (as did Patrick Dempsey) but that doesn't mean you can't put a price on it. According to Paul Frijters of Australia's Queensland University (per the Sidney Morning Herald) marriage is worth approximately A$32,000 (that's $30,000 in US dollars) in happiness to a man, and A$16,000/$15,000 to a lady. Read : Can You Buy Happiness?
Essentially, the act of getting married makes a man equally happy as getting lump payments equaling $30,000. The analysis goes on to mention that men feel like divorce is like losing A$110,000 of … Read More
A new study reveals why men with ill spouses are six times more likely to head for the door.
This Love Buzzer has a friend. One year and one day into her marriage, her husband went into the hospital for what was described as a standard procedure. He didn't leave his hospital bed for three months. In fact, he almost died.
Every day of those three months, this woman took the subway back and forth. She stopped in on her way to work; she went home from work, fed the dogs, then went back to the hospital. All while, he was sometimes in a medically induced coma, oftentimes uncommunicative, and rarely lucid. It was a very difficult 92 days. And … Read More
And their eight kids will have something else to tell their eight therapists.
Jon and Kate Gosselin plan to spend Christmas together with their eight kids, three ex-lovers, two dogs, one marriage rent asunder, and a partridge in a pear tree, according to Us Weekly. (Not a Patridge. She's on a different show.) "Christmas Eve and Christmas day are joint-shared custody days, which means we're both in the house," he said. "So we'll be there." Unlike last year, the Gosselin Christmas won't be filmed for TLC, but this year will have the sideshow of both parents trying not to rip each other's throats out. Ah, just like when … Read More
An event to make starting over way easier.
Ever heard of a divorce fair? It's sort of like a job fair but for people who have ended their marriages. As you may recall, other older divorce fairs didn't start with much of a bang. The Viennese divorce fair was a total sausage fest. The London divorce fair is starting to gain some steam. But, per Reuters, the Parisians figured out how to do it right, right now. While previous shows set their laser beams on putting people together with legal and financial professionals, the Gallic version was all about getting your groove back post-split. Read More
Many states are reconsidering spousal support.
There was a very interesting story in a recent Wall Street Journal around the ancient right of alimony, money one ex-spouse (usually the man) pays to the other after a divorce.
The gist of the grist is that several states are currently reevaluating the way they handle spousal support. Alimony came into prominence in the US in the 60s and 70s in lockstep with an increase in divorce. In some states people can receive alimony for their entire life, even after they've remarried.
Proponents say the money compensates some spouses who have sacrificed careers for families and … Read More
"Mad Men" has made us cheer for a cheating husband.
We cannot get over the Mad Men season 3 series finale. Thought #1: Best show on TV since Six Feet Under. Thought #2: WTF, Betty Draper? Thought #3: Why are we rooting for the cheat-bag Don Draper anyway?
Now, we know. We know that it's about time that Betty stand up for herself. The character's ability to make you love and loathe her simultaneously is a gift from the writers. (And unfortunately, not the actor, January Jones. Pretty girl, but we hear Jon Hamm hates working with her…He totally carries every scene. But anyway…) Ex Ashton Told January Jones To Quit … Read More
