I thought this thread was prompted by your grail purchase..:%:%:%I've heard this mentioned in some gun forums that I'm a member of. I'm wondering if there is a correlation with ahigher number of divorces when you factor in those who buy a large quantity of watches. Many have told me on the gun forums that their fetish in buying the newest and coolest guns created marital problems to the point that divorce was the only way the couple could resolve the problem. Now with that in mind I don't think anybody should get divorced over a tangible assest. I would think that marriage counseling or the end of collecting should be done before divorce is placed on the table.
I also want to preface this thread with "NO" my wife and I aren't getting divorced. I work with a lot of cops that get divorced because of their love of the job and for financial reasons. Most of their financial problems are a result of spending too much money on guns and other police related accessories.
Is there a correlation between the two?? Some may view this as a stupid thread, but being a Psychology Major this kind ofstuff intrigues me. This goes deeper then just walking out and buying a watch. This has to do with the obsession of buying watches to the point that it destroys your marriage or creates marital problems.
Sean,keep your day job Rob.:BEcops have a higher divorce rate in high crime areas.that would be the entire usa at the moment.The stress the spouse takes is very high and that leads to other things that seem to cause divorce.underlying problem is the job.Some women like my ex will do it just to get their hands on part of the collection, the lying wh**&e!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry, off topic.:madd
Maybe it can with some families but others? both end up collecting watches.while buying watches can put a financial strain on the marriage, theres always a deeper problem going on.The addiction just brings it to the surface.If I knew what caused divorce I'd still be married.
That sounds like an addiction to me...I know MANY people on other forums that buy and buy and buy and value pay and put on other credit cards, and before they know it they CAN'T AFFORD FOOD or daycare, or gas and are bankrupt.
That sounds like an addiction to me...
