Lockjaw: I have to claim dumb as I don't understand what you mean in your post.

. Who's expenses? I just don't get what you mean. The husbands, the wives, the hypethetical boss the wife might work for? Or a company for every job you listed? Which is 9 by the way. Even taking that as a maximum number (I'm sure 2-3 more jobs could be added), you almost argue against yourself. The 9 jobs you listed for a housewife, worked on a part-time basis (20 hrs./wk.) equal 180 hrs. a week all together. 135 hrs./wk. if you consider part-time as only 15 hrs./wk.. At the lower end (15 hrs. a wk.) for each job, that would equal a 19+ hrs. a day/7 days a week. I'm guessing there aren't too many people in the entire world that work 135 hrs. a week, much less 180. You did say the "typical housewife".
2-3 things you listed as provided by companies might be the norm. As for the rest, the average American does not have these provided; Housing, vehicle, food, phone, and certainly not an expense account.
The attitudes I'm seeing baffle me, does no one respect their own mothers unless they were absent from the home? I realize this thread is about a rich women's divorce, but I stand by my first post, is she not a good mother and wife simply because she's rich? Yes, she cheated and I personally detest infedelity, but none of us lived in that house. He could have been a cold fish, denying her affection which most humans crave. He also could have been physically or emotionally abusive. In this very public lawsuit, both might have reasons to not air dirty laundry that could then bite them in the bud if the other party retaliated.
