Prenuptial agreements

Re: Prenuptial agreements

I don't see the point in legal marriage, but that's another conversation altogether. If you don't have a pot to piss in, I guess I can understand not really caring about a prenup. However, if you face the possibility of losing everything in a divorce, you'd be a damn fool not to get one. If the woman your with doesn't want to sign one, you don't need to be with her.

Re: Prenuptial agreements

That is why I put this But it does have some truth to it. When you are in your 30's and getting married you have more worth. If he is in his 20's and she is in her 20's, what worth do they have? They are just starting out. That is why I say a prenup is not a good idea. Unless they both agree on it and have worth.

I own a pretty decent house, have quite a bit in savings, a secure job, and not much debt. I may only be 24 but I'm in pretty good shape.

So what were you saying?

Re: Prenuptial agreements

What if you were in this situation? Woman you're dating wants a prenup? Do you split because she's obviously outrageous in what she wants? If so, how do you "truly love her" like you believe, and yet bail so easily?

I will just put it this way. YES. I would split. Why? Because marriage is about trust where is the trust there. We just see it different, but that is cool.

That is because you went to Dame. But a lot of people your age don't have all that. But I got your point.

We'll agree to disagree...I just think that if this one issue would make you bolt it makes me question your love. If I loved someone who wanted this I'd say "ok, it won't be necessary and I don't agree with the need, but if it makes you happy that's fine"...I can't imagine breaking up with someone I loved deeply over this. Over life more serious and tough issues come up compared to prenups, if your relationship can't handle something as simple as a prenup it's better off you not get married.

*cue Allen Iverson voice* Prenups!?!? We talking about prenups?!?!

Re: Prenuptial agreements

Well here is my thinking. Love is base and built on trust! If you don't have trust your marriage will most likely die. So in the case of a prenup where is the trust? That is why I say it is a bad start. You have to build that trust and keep on building it, and that is not easy it take time and that is why I say a prenup is not the best for building that trust faster. But it all good. I enjoyed chatting with you guys about it, but we will see it different. I am not going to change my belief and you guys are not going to change your beliefs.

Re: Prenuptial agreements

Dog why do you keep insisting that buying insurance means that you think an accident will occur? Why can't you understand that logic is flawed?

Is it build on trust. And why are you comparing this to a marriage. I mean for real. Life insurance and marriage are not the same? lol You get life insurance to protect your wife and family a prenup only protect you. Once again that is selfish, but that is the way I see it. It is all about me when you talk about prenup. Life insurance is about your family. I still say it is not a good start for a marriage, but if both people are cool with it more power to them.

Are you talking about car insurance? I am lost? The reason you buy it is becasue you never know what can happen, but marriage you can say the same thing, but the different is what marriage is built on and that is "Trust" Prenup kinda put a hamper on the trust factor.

Exactly why a prenup is a good idea. lol

Not for marriage, it should be built on trust, but that is cool. I see a lot of people here disagree with me, and that is cool too.

Yeah, I respect your view and I understand what you getting at but like you said...we just have to agree to disagree.

Re: Prenuptial agreements

I see where he Scott is coming from, especially with his religious background. I think to really get into the issue would violate the TOS (bringing religion into it). I mean it's two schools of thought really, and neither is going to convince the other.
