life sucks!!!

although the new year did not start with a bang, but today I thought was going to be a good day... my portfolio was up almost $30K on the day, definitely one of the best days so far. and then came a call from one of my best friends, by the time the call is finished, the market has tanked, and my day's gain has been reduced to less than $10K...and I am upset as hell. k&|L"N|

It is not the money, I have seen money come ang gone, I am talking about ... well, you know what is on my mind, woman and marriage! ~M`-sSjZs

vent it out   and   let it go.... life is going on....

Hey, what is on you mind, though? "

Come on! You still gained about $10K within a single day!   A lot of married man would die to be in your position.

Diver, what were you upset about? Your friend's story about a woman/marriage? Your story nT.i|(xd.  
about your woman/marriage? The downflow of money in the short period of time while you rH@{[~p  
and your friend talked about a woman/marriage?   Hey, a day gain of $10K, what can you z8v]Kt&  
ask more? Life is beautiful to most people if they can have a finger touch on $10K in a day. 2JY]$$K7  
Apparently, you are not a material man.   Money can't satisfy you.

I am not a materialistic person, but like most of people living on this planet, nevertheless takes pleasure in making money. what upsets me is not just how short the pleasure lasts, but more how little faith we can have in this institution we all so cherished: marriage. OH.lAF4E(

this is a close friend of mine. we went to school together, and we chased skirts together. (well, to be technically true, we were just allies for a mutual friend when he was competing with another guy for a girl we all knew. we were sort of a support group for the mutual friend.) awYnlE/Z1

he had a highschool sweetheart, the relationship broke when he came to the states. it was thier first love, and I guess both he and the girl cannot get over it, so a number of years later they hooked up again. I still remember when he sought my advice right before he went back to china to marry her. now they are on the verge of a divorce. rw:z|-r

On the surface it seems like a happy marriage. He works real hard, makes good money (more than enough to support a family), enjoys life (he's the only chinese friend I have that has a season pass for concerts in SF and enjoys naps there). she stayed home for a few years and recently started working out of boredom, but with little money. a lot has happened with thier marriage, but which marriage is a smooth saling? I just can't believe this is yet another marriage to be disolved. now my friend is worried about his marriage and his money. I can't devulge in details so I am sorry to disappoint if you are looking for a story.

把婚姻做另一种投资也是不错的，其技术含量不在股市投资之下，而衡量的尺度却只有双方心中的一本帐，算法还没有通行标准。 #3knKBH

I don't agree with your views on this part. The process of life is like the sea: men come and go; tides rise and fall. Don't say to give up while you are in the low spirit. XW.k%H4@

Now I realize that any marriage will be always meeting its affair just like in the movie there are cars always crashing into each other.Coz we are human being,not a machine,we have difficulty in controlling our life as it can be.Even a machine needs maintaining constantly. *djVOC  
^M)+2@6  
In the face of difficulties,some often give up half way; others persist in their doings. Be cautious and patient. Cherish the past and wait till the flower of love is in full bloom again.

Not quite sure which part you don't agree upon. What I see from the current "rrw~  
situation Diver's friend stands may have a rooted cause, and I have the doubt that 5@J]#bp0M  
the roots might have been implanted when the first time they went on different roads xn>N/+,  
and said good-bye to each other.   It might be their types, it might be that they Rk-G|52g  
couldn't get along with the other's family, it might be they did not really love each other Mh2Zj  
so much as they thought. As to few years later, they chose to continue and finally got o!lKP>  
married, they did not really put every effort to narrow the difference, or they could not A34O(fE  
do too much to narrow the difference. r~G amjS  
5,pEJ>dDD3  
I totally agree that one should be patient and should cherish the past and appreciate q"5\bh1"  
the one who has been devoted himself or herself to you and the family, no one can 1En:QQ4/  
be perfect, and he or she deserves your waiting for the full bloom of the love flower. <=Saf.  
This distinguishes the success and failure of the marriage. Nevertheless, the devotion rd;E /:`5  
should be recognized by your loved one, if you are devoting in the wrong way, or *a^wYWa  
your devotion never gets appreciated, who's fault is it?   Identified the problem and Z2 Vri  
correct it in the right way is the key.   Love can be said with heart or without heart, ;9Qxq]
 
only your loved one can tell and feel. If one has done his/her best but still gets the :Q,~Nw>  
opposite result, it's the word "type" that really rips into them.

actually, I think the issue might be the difficulty in handling changes. a woman goes to work and start to make some money, or gets a promotion, or with some coworker's seduction, and the balance in family is broke. all the sudden the outside life seems more tempting...
