Many of us got screwed by the market. Now as I see my investment portfolio, I try to figure out if I will actually be able to overcome these losses ever, and if yes, how long the wait is going to be. Unfortunately though, I also think that nobody has got the answer to this. @Brad I agree, but I know about a more generic problem – the recent stock market crash.

Past, specific experiences are not determinants of the future, ever. Sometimes it takes a while to regain equilibrium and move forward, but it's always possible. @raincoaster sorry! ;)

You were screwed by a specific person, and it doesn't mean the next person who comes into your life in the same role (partner, spouse, business associate, whatever) is going to screw you too. Furthermore you can take steps to ensure it doesn't happen. In the case of the guy who lost it all in a divorce, he could insist on maintaining separate finances if he decides to get married again.
