The whole “victim mentality” is one of my biggest pet peeves, so listening to this lady was like nails on chalkboard for me.

All she does is make excuses and whine and complain about how horrible everybody else is being to her, and yet she calls her soon to be ex up at his *office* and is childish enough to attempt to humiliate him at his work. I don’t care how angry or hurt you might be, have some dignity!

It’s hard to sit back and believe the husband’s so bad when his wife obviously needs some serious help and can do nothing but pin blame on him. It takes two to tango, and from what I’m seeing, I doubt she was such a swan to be married to.

In this day and age, all of us women, shoud understand about finances and be in a position where we can look after ourselves should something like this happen. There is no excuse for not making sure that you can manage financially.

wow..that’s pretty sad, but I don’t pity her at all. She should learn to be independent herself.

I may get some heat for saying this but I do feel bad for her. She really should have made sure she was taken care of financially before she married him. But she trusted he would do the right thing and now she’s screwed.

She did state that he was 25 years older than her. Maybe they didn’t marry for love. She probably wanted to be financially taken care of and in return he wanted a younger hot wife. On her end when she commited to her husband she gave up being with men her own age and possibly growing old with someone. That is the sacrifice she made to live a comfortable life now.

My fiance is twice my age and has amassed extreme wealth. Though I love him I do feel like I’m giving up alot of my youth and lessons I should be learning in my 20’s to be with him. I’ll be damned if he passes away or becomes disabled and I’m left worse off financially then when I got into my relationship. I’m just saying I can see where she’s coming from. It could happen to any of us.

This is atrocious! I had heard about this video but this is the first time Im seeing it. I wish she’d taken better care of herself! This is a really valuable lesson for us all.

This woman has some serious self-esteem issues and should see a therapist immediately. This goes beyond personal finance help.
