Prenuptial agreements

Re: Prenuptial agreements

See thats your fault. I talk about prenups EARLY. No girl I've ever seriously dated doesnt know how I feel about a prenup. So its not like I'm pulling ****, Ive drafted a few for friends of mine. Plus my prenup template is fair. You keep what you have before. You keep your retirement funds and you split what was purchased while married.

And how is that working? Have you been dating anyone? Or are they running as soon as they hear this?

Deep down inside, dude knows you are right. People and their, "If you really love someone you would do X" kill me

I still believe if you really love someone then this would not be needed. I also believe if you truly love someone you can get through anything. Now cheating is a tough one, but some of the things people get divorce for are sad.

Re: Prenuptial agreements

I would never get married without one. It's borderline idiotic not to have one going into a marriage, IMO. If your truly in love with someone then there should be no problem in having a prenup because you'll never have to use it. Just as others have said it's just marriage insurance. No way I risk my future financial stability on something that I may not have any control over. (For example if she cheats on me)

But who know's thats just me. Maybe I just think it's an unecessary gamble.

Exactly, this can work both ways. Always better to be safe than sorry though.

I don't see the problem honestly. Are those of us in favor of prenups completely void of ever finding true love? Are we never going to find girl who will commit to a marriage because we deem financial security important? Frankly if a girl is so insecure about signing a prenup marriage probably isn't in our best interest anyway.

No not really. I think you can find love. I do think that is not easy to find a girl in this world that will feel the same way, but more power too you. I say it is the other way around if a prenup is important to them, then I say they are not ready to get married. But that is just my opinion.

Ive been saying this to girls for 10 yrs and never had an issue with it. See this is a common sense issue and I dont date women that lack common sense. I tend to date professional women so they have as much to lose as I do. They own houses. They have investments. They have retirement funds. They want to protect their stuff as much as I do. Ive met a few that didnt agree but its far from a dealbreaker.

LOL. Thats is some silly **** you just said right there. How do you get past someone wanting to leave you? If your wife wants to leave you what can you do about it? You cant force her to stay with you if she wants to leave.

This is just a guess but I bet you got married young (20-25) because no one with extensive dating experience would ever say something like that. Anyone who has been through a few breakups would never think "Love will get us through anything."

He'll come in with the "if she really loved me then she wouldn't want to leave" line. Then he'll say something about only marriages out of love that isn't true or real are the only one's that don't work.

You'll never get him to understand your side of things.

So you have been dating for 10 years and still having found the one yet? I agree if you both have stuff before the marriage, but if you are going into a marriage with nothing then I think it is starting the marriage off on the wrong foot. If you both have the things that you mention then I say yes a prenup is good, but that is only for marriage that are on their second or third marriage or getting married in their 30's when both actually have something.

I think you quoted the wrong one? I said if they cheat that is hard to get over. But I have seen people get divorce for stupid reasons. I said when you truly love someone it should get you though the bad times. Why do you think it says for better or worst?

I am talking if you truly love someone you can get over a lot of things. The problems is people base their marriage on feelings and not commitment. I find it funny that we divorces are spouse, but not our kids. And yet your spouse is suppose to be the most important thing in our lives. We will just agree to disagree. I am cool with that.

Talk to me when you are in your 30's.

^ So now you use fallacious statements in arguments? What does him not being in his 30's have to do with anything?
