Part of the problem is that older guys might sometimes get tired of their wives,

By the way, on that last point, there might be some willingness to assert that "I don't mind paying for the services that we agree to", but then even if we might be at magnitudes above entry-level fuck you status, we might not be very accustomed to "transactional relations," so in that regard, even if there might be a "transactional relationship" going on, we still want to attempt to maintain a kind of appearance that the relationship is not transactional, and creating those kinds of relationships might not be very easy to accomplish... Am I talking from experience? not going to get into those kinds of details, at this time.
By the way, one of the difficulties of having that long-term spouse relationship may be some of the possible "being discrete" issues because the wife might not completely mind if some of the side play starts to happen, but she may well not want to know details or to have anyone who she knows to know such details either.. in order that she can maintain face.
A detour from your usual waters, JJG. Bitcoiner problems many of us haven't (yet) dedicated enough thinkening to.
Have my last!
Well ? What are you going to do? I am trying to discuss ways that guys (or gals) might want to spend some of their wealth - especially when getting into possible extravagant levels and also not having had previously expected to have as much "excess" wealth as anticipated earlier.
I probably said too much because I was attempting to tie the subject in with sirazimuth's seeming interest in being the recipient of pain.. and both considering how money could solve some of the problems.. but still many times it can still be uncomfortable to either get into any relationship if the the person is claiming to be a "professional," or alternatively just expanding on the theme of taking the girl out for slurpies or burgers but instead taking her out to dinners worth several hundred.. and some of those kinds of experiences, including getting a place on the beach for the week could end up causing the situation in which the payment is not really direct, but instead paying for experiences...
Maybe it is just a matter of getting used to knowing how to be rich, because some guys/gals might conjecture that they would not pay for certain things, but then I already find myself to be paying for food and lodging that is like 3-5 times more expensive than my usual (and I am already accounting for the inflation aspects).... getting used to some of those kinds of ways to just spend extra (splurge) because why suffer? On a date, instead of ordering 3-4 dishes, ordering 6 dishes or more because - I just feel like trying more of the items.... so instead of a bill for $50 to $100, the bill is for $200 to $300 for that same meal, but just getting more potentially "good" dishes, and yeah, during the meal, we were still ONLY able to eat the equivalent of 2 of the dishes, so it is like taking a sample from each dish.. maybe not even necessary (but I do get the dishes to go, too.. .. but then having food from that restaurant to eat for like 2 or 3 days).... In stead of eating out once a week, eating out 3-4 times a week.
