What's your opinion on pre-nup's?

[JCBourne]

I was talking with a friend about this and there was some good points brought up that made me want to come here and see what people think.

One good point was that by doing it, you are basically thinking the marriage is going to fail and thus possibly making it fail due to doing this before hand.

Another point however was to over the person's ass. In case something ever went wrong (weather it be your fault or the others) you wouldn't have to worry about the things you had before you were married or were expecting in a will from family.

I'm kind of torn myself about this. I think the first point is true to an extent because by getting married you should really feel like you want it to last forever however on the flip side I think who knows maybe a person will do something stupid on purpose or accident and ruin the marriage and make the other want to get everything you have.

What's peoples views on this? (If you don't mind stating if your single, single and divorced or married that might help with understand your point of view)

Thanks.

I work hard for my money so no one will take what I busted my ass for.

Take half of your money now and put it into a separate account so she doesn't know about it.

I'm all for them...

it's about protecting yourself not about being a pessimist.

In twenty years you can tear it up. Prenup all the way. Safety first

That likes saying that getting car insurance makes it more likely you're going to have an accident. A prenup is simply marriage insurance.

Fifty percent of all marriages end in divorce. It's pretty much a coin toss. Do you really want to bet on those odds? Oh, and just to round out the percentages, the other half of marriages end in death.

As a male, if you do not get a prenup, and you get divorced, you will get financially raped...without lube.

Also, the woman will be 100% against it. She knows that she's throwing away a golden parachute by agreeing to it. She's not being an idiot, why should you?

Get a pre-nup. Save yourself pain, torture and suffering in case things don't work out.

Think with your big head, not your little head, or your heart. Just a little heads up, all women are evil, conniving cunts of things - even the nice ones so dont be fooled.

. . So if you were a smart man you'd make sure you had a prenup agreement. A smarter man would stay single and hire someone when the situation required it

I think they need to be done. You don't want someone taking mostly everything you have, especially when you worked hard for it and they didn't

I think your statement needs a caveat: Any woman that feels scorned will act evil.

Woman are, generally speaking, more emotional than men. When you've done something to piss off a women royally, they will do horrendous shit to you; and they'll have the courts on their side. Kiss your money and kids, if any, goodbye.

In a positive sense, a pre-nup can be a symbol of getting married because you want to be with someone, not because you want their money.

Depending on whether you're asked to sign one or you're the one asking to have one signed, will decide your stance. These are just the times we live in...everyone wants to cover their behind.

It's all pretty straight forward if you don't have much. But how does one really know if your in a relaionship with someone who genuinely cares for you or has an ulterior motive, like taking half of your cache.

That is a terrible concept. That is like saying people put on their seat belts because they expect to get into a car crash, and cause a crash to happen just by simply putting it on. Marriage is a failing institution in this country. Only an idiot would get married without a pre-nup if they have Scythian of worth before he/she enters the marriage.

If shes making all the $$$ then no pre-nup and pull a k-fed But on a more serious note... I agree with everyone saying that a pre-nup is simply marriage insurance. However, I am married and we decided against getting one, and put our faith in our marriage and in each other. So far so good! But with the divorce rates today, a pre-nup is a very sound precaution in my opinion, but could be a very touchy subject for your future wife. Tread lightly and think carefully about how your going to present it to avoid a conflict. You don't want it to mess up a good thing. Good Luck!!

and how many cases have we seen on court tv, etc. lately where the new wife has tried to off the husband. people are fucked up and our society is a perfect example of what greed and the quest for wealth will do to people...they will do anything

That is a very interesting point.

On the flip side, I talked to my lady about it awhile back. She didn't think much about it and it didn't make her mad. She said she had no problem signing one if I was worried and that she cared nothing about my money.

While I think all women can be evil and at some point will fuck you over somehow I believe what she said just because of what things we've gone through together and I've been with her for a very, very long time. She's never given a crap about what I own or my money, it would have came out in the time we've been together in fact she likes to buy me things and thinks "money is just money" and doesn't get all worked up about it like I do.
