Thanks, Jonathan, for your openness about experiencing such difficult mistakes in your life. Like other people said, even though they were quite steep prices to pay for your overall (financial) success, at least you can take comfort in not getting sick so badly that require people to pay huge OOP money and on top of going through the difficult health scares health insurance companies like to play 'screw over' games with such patients. That's a very serious ordeal deal with in this country. OTOH, I think you gained some good lessons during your first divorce because you didn't get "screwed over" the second time when you said "<...I’d been careful to keep my finances entirely separate, so my assets never became our assets.>"I am wondering though how you did it if you're willing to elaborate a little. I am guessing you asked your 2nd wife to sign a prenuptial document or is there another option to protect your assets and not lose 50% in a divorce?
