When we were married, your lifestyle included living in a certain neighborhood and taking a certain class of vacations. My lifestyle included you doing my laundry and me getting up in your pussy. If I have to maintain your lifestyle, why don't you have to maintain mine?

The article says she will have to repay 43 million. She's worth 300 million. She was getting 1.4 million a month and the payments go back to 2014.

Her lawyer said the Supreme Court reached the wrong decision.

Tbh it's fucking ridiculous that it was ever a thing. (and still is in most of the world)

Like if I make the money and you do nothing then we get divorced sorry but you don't get to maintain the life I built no one forced their wife to not have a job

This is a good decision but Silvio Berlusconi is Italy's former PM and he was corrupt as fuck. If this was just some regular shmo, I doubt there'd be any justice for him.

Good.

I understand the need for alimony to keep the womans head above water, say, if they had kids and she gave up work. That's a team effort thing, etc.

What isn't fair is expecting the man to afford her a life of luxury because when they were together they lived a life of luxury.

As Bill Burr put it, you don't need a hundred thousand dollars to put fruit loops in your kids mouth.

Unshackling men and women is a good thing. However, im curious how this works when someone stays home w the kids? Maybe no one does? Everyone works. Maybe a contract for service?

Yeah, sure. Now let's discuss how men here after still stuck paying half the mortgage if a married couple split and they have a kid. While having to leave the house and paying child support on the side, of course. Hope you enjoy couch surfing!
