Posted 4 hours ago4 hr Administrator I was almost ready to do a poll for how long it lasts, and my guess is she will get two kids from him, and then...This is a fascinating case-study of marriage and celebrity couples in the current culture.A couple of modern day issues to watch for; her biological clock was shouting, (Age 35) because if she wants kids--she had to find a simp soon. Women at that age will reject suitable matchups in their 20s, but when they get to her age--standards have to be revised.Women want a man who makes more money than her, that she looks up to. Thus why highly successful women have a very hard time finding a mate due to the very small pool of men actually above her level. Frequently the men she is attracted to in their 30s are not interested in her, but in a younger woman in their 20s because they can. Hence it was amazing that she found someone, considering the odds.One of the biggest predictors of upcoming divorce? When the woman makes more money than the man, and that is true in this case, but only by, maybe a BILLION?A highly predicting divorce element of celebrity couples? When the man is an athlete, and when he retires and is no longer in the spotlight and is just a "house-husband" caring for the kids? His attraction fades with her badly, and when considering her status and career? Whew! Quite a few athletes get their divorce papers demanding half within two years of retiring.Oh yes, I know that most of you will say about me, "now THAT is one bitter ol' divorced guy," and I am just telling you what the current culture is. I did not invent or change it, as it has evolved into what it is. Everything above can be confirmed by thousands of men.There IS one thing going in Travis's favor...Even with a Pre-nup....the higher earner pays the alimony later, and he could be compensated if it ends. This is a very rare instance, but this is a textbook case of when it could happen.On the other hand, they could rise above the massive odds presented by today's culture at that age and have a happy life together. We wish for that, but the odds are...55% of first marriages fail among typical people, not counting the massive issues listed above.Nearly two-thirds of all second marriages fail.Right at three-fourths of third marriages fail.Only 12% of those that are still in their first marriage after ten years are actually happy. (Which is what...5-6% of those who began?)My upside view is, "at least they will have some children," but in the massive majority of cases--the woman will poison the children against the divorced spouse. I've read hundreds of accounts of this, heard it tragically from fellow Duck-Buddies, and experienced it myself.I recognize that so much of what is above is grim and negative, but it can be confirmed if you do your homework. I just thought this was such a unique case to watch over time...how right will I be? (And yes, I do hope for the best for them) Mr. FishDuck
3 hours ago3 hr I'm glad you covered the most important points so that I (or anyone else) did not have to tread through those waters.Mostly annoyed that this will be a primary topic of some sports shows/podcasts I enjoy listening to.It will last as long as Swift decides it will last.Hope it lasts, but don't think it will.
2 hours ago2 hr Moderator Great take. What's the Over/Under on the Pre-Nup from Swifty's side being longer than War & Peace? Next up, Billy Belichick. No babies, but a Bigicheck for the Chick. Fortunately, North Carolina allows its citizens to marry teenagers. What's that, she's 24? My bad, I thought Billy Bob was robbing the cradle? 67-year-old Madonna is a slacker; her guy is 29!It's Only a Movie! 🤑🤪

25 minutes ago25 min Moderator I think it is safe to say the majority of marriages don’t work for the long term. People change, or in many cases, they don’t change.A marriage is a partnership, and even business partnerships fall apart over time.You should always start with good intentions, but as the old joke goes…"Why is a divorce so expensive? … because it’s worth it."
