No, not all of them are crazy.
As far as I can tell, they come in two flavors. Vanilla and Wasabi.
You want hot in the sack, horny, adventurous, and exciting.. you get the downside of that too, in crazy, insecure, shop-a-holic, maxed credit cards.
That's Wasabi. (aka high default hormone levels)
That's my dad's taste in women, after my mom. Huge tits, exciting .. empty brains. And he's managed to lose
two twenty year retirements in three divorces.
You want reliable, dependable, no drama, responsible with money, doesn't screw around, as fit as she was in her 20's, has a Bachelors of
Science in an engineering field.. you get the downside that goes with that too, in low/no sex drive. (aka lower default hormone levels).
And, if you think there are more flavors than that.. heh.. call me after 15 years.

Whats the best way about going at it? Draw all money out of your accounts first? Liquidate stuff? Lawyers before or after this? Is there like a step by step list somewhere?
If you're married to a Wasabi flavored woman, and you wake up every morning thinking
"WTF kind of idiot is this next to me?!".
Get out.
Cover your ass with as much legal firepower as needed.
Wasabi women, once scorned, get
vicious.
Truth, fairness, equitable splits, honest retelling of history - all goes straight out the window as soon as you say
"I want a divorce".
When you say that, she heard
"I want to crush every childhood dream you ever had, screw every woman but you, and skullfuck your favorite teddy bear"Those kind of women, it's not about a man's mindset of
"be fair, split the gear, move on".
No, to a scorned Wasabi woman, a divorce is all about
emotional fairness .. payback for
her perception of abandonment,
her emotional hurts,
her heavily spun/edited version of events.
The emotional women are a touch easier to understand if you think of it in terms of the above
emotional fairness, and throw away any concept of objective, impersonal, logical truth or history.
Short form:
Before you ask for a divorce, plan for the vicious fight and get legal advice, then perhaps try for the reasonable
"be fair, split the gear, move on". Don't agree to a damn thing, without getting it signed off on by an experienced divorce lawyer. At the first sign she's not going for the
"be fair, split the gear, move on", get the lawyers out. Being fair while she plots to screw you, will get you screwed BADLY.
Have plan "B" ready to go at a moment's notice, but try plan "A" provisionally/tentatively.
