You know - I was having this discussion with my buddy the other day. We both determined that if/when we get married, we will be making our respective spouses sign pre-nuptial agreements. I have many reasons for this - one of the biggest is that you never know what can happen in a marriage...after 10 years feelings could change, bad things could happen, and so on.

My mother left my father when I was 3, took the kids, and a damn huge chunk of his salary with her after the divorce. My buddy's father lost a house he had built with his own hands to his ex-wife.

The legal system in this country still heavily favors women when it comes to divorce proceedings (IE: My mother was given full custody of us, even though she didnt have a job and my father worked, and we basically lived in poverty because of it...but that's neither here nor there).

Not to only bash women...men can be just as untrustworthy. In this day and age, with divorce rates as high as they are...I don't see how I wouldn't want a pre-nup.



TL,DR: Married bros, single bros, whatever - what are your view points on pre-nups? Why does the legal system hate men so much when it comes to divorce? Are women really as money grubbing and bitchy as they seem to be....because I feel like all I hear are horror stories.

My wife and I have a pre-nup. It was something we both agreed on. I think it makes sense, especially when one person might bring more to the table financially than the other. Before we got married I owned my own house and had 3 cars. Sure wasn't gonna lose them in a divorce if it ever happens.

Definitely smart - I know some people get really defensive. I guess it depends on the relationship...but for example my brother was basically like "yeah I couldn't even bring up the idea of a pre-nup" like it would be a touchy subject and would hurt feelings.

The problem that Eturnal is describing isn't that this woman is unfaithful, its that she's stupid and insane.

The man who married her was a moron. Straight up. Feelings change, but marrying someone that stupid and irrational, he got what was coming to him.

Nihilism is a copout.

There is no way to know that someone is going to change their personality and views on life at some point in the future. Like you said, she was stupid and insane but no one ever knew her to be like that until after her mother died.

Edit: Just kidding. Not shutting up. Prenups are great for people like Krunkz but they're not always viable. My wife and I entered our relationship with each person brining near nothing to the table. Now we have a lot of nice stuff so if the court decided to split our assets 50/50 then you won't find any tears. She'll get what she wants/needs and I'll get mine. Between the two of us, we always said that the person that leaves the relationship is the one to leave the house behind... I'm confident that we'll both uphold that verbal agreement. The only hardship I'd foresee with our divorce is determining custody of our son - we'd both fight for being legal guardian but I'm thinking we'd find a fair way to split our time with the little guy.

I heavily favor anything that involves a contract. While that won't stop the signers from breaking the terms and doing terrible things should they feel inclined, a contract means they won't get away with it.

If destruction exists, we must destroy everything.

About the same odds.

Passions change easily. People do not. I think the best question to ask of a marriage is, "if we stopped loving each other, would our marriage endure?"

That, to me, is why most marriages today fail. People expect romantic gratification, the kind associated with dating and romance etc, then things fall apart when they realize how grey married life is. But if you focus on who you ARE, and not how you FEEL about each other, the marriage will endure and become more than love.

My extended family has no history of divorce. At all.

absolutely, positively yes to pre-nups. There is simply 0 downside to them. If your marriage endures, great! If not, you're still okay. Though I do agree with Eturnal's agreement with his wife about the one who leaves the relationship leaves the house. I will be using that one.

Aestu, the marriage counselor.

Well, at the very least he'd be able to identify with people living in sexless marriages.




This.

Rofl well played.

In NC, i think if you own a house, and then are married, you now own half a house.

I hope its not true, and can't be bothered to research it, but man, I'll be having a prenup if I end up getting married with nothing but one testicle.

With the divorce rates as high as they are, it would be foolish to do otherwise.

Correlation versus causation.

versus reality.

I probably won't ever get married.

Because I don't ever want to go to prison for murder.

Why is it the reality?

Why is the divorce rate 50%?
