Especially when the people they are equating to dogs are the ones they would marry & have children with.
Considering the absolute trainwreck of a situation this relationship produced, I’m thinking she may feel she’s not going to get a contract for a self-help book again.
Why would you think that? People who read the shit folks like her crank out have no interest in the credibility of the author.
Salmansohn did ok. The guy blew over a 150 grand on her in 6 months. Plus he paid for all the IVF treatments.
Obviously, he’s on the hook for child support too.
I don’t think she got taken advantage of. She was in her forties and wanted a baby. Time was running out and this was her last chance. It’s a shame that the relationship fizzled. But, she’s got a renovated house and a sugar daddy that legally has to pay child support. Not too bad a deal.
I’d say that the “practically divorced” was less of a red flag than the marriage proposal mere weeks after they met.
I am going to completely offend my entire gender probably, but I think if anyone was taken advantage of it was he.
I have never heard of her nor her books prior to this article, but how on earth could being still married (even if separated) eager to propose (as mentioned above) and seemingly eager to have children (10 trips to the fertility clinic? I have never dealt with infertility but wouldn’t most people give up after the first 6 or 7?) etc. not be “red flags”. It would be interesting to hear what advice she would have given to another woman in the same situation (before it happened to her of course) because I would bet she would have been pointing out red flags all over the place and telling another woman to ditch this guy before the affair even got going.
10 trips to a clinic doesn’t necessarily mean they did an IVF treatment each time. They (or at least she) would need to go for initial exams, then probably on some drugs which they might give her via injection, etc. You can only do IVF once a month, and I don’t think they were together that long.
Having said that, to me it sounds like they deserved each other. They both sound like awful people in their own way, and I can’t really say either one was worse, or either one was taken advantage of.
That’s true. On the other hand, good luck collecting child support for 18 years from a bookie.
Ah… con artists in love…
I think they’re both users and were both trying to take advantage of the other. I don’t know whether to laugh or pity them.
