I'm calling Ksteezy and Kspar on this one.

In 2014 it almost seems necessary. Yet, even mentioning it is taboo, like it has an aura of failure. I really don't understand.

I've never been "in love" at least to the point where if she said "me or x" I choose her, I think that is always a ridiculous position to take,but I digress. I'd rather be single my entire life than commit to giving a girl half my J's (I use that as an example, if you don't understand what I mean then you are probably to dense for this conversation.)
 
Apparently being in love means you have to put your financial wellbeing at risk.

Clouds judgement most definitely. Not a lick of logic. You're exactly right, need it in today's world.
 
The reason prenups are taboo is because no one wants to think about the possibility of their relationship ending when its only just begun.

A lot of people believe that it shows a lack of commitment as well.

One of the many reasons why I will never get married.

Pretty much. Although I do believe prenups only work if someone is making some serious dough over the other. If not, there might not even be a real reason for it.
 
Do you guys think this generation is more open to the idea of a prenup than those, even a little bit older than us?

Why would you think they are unnecessary if you don't have a lot of material assets?

somewhat agreed, but think income imbalance is even more of a factor. Most cases I've heard about where the guy gets it bad is when the wife worked a menial job or stay at home mom.

Best case imo is marrying someone with similar goals/ambition, so in the event of breakup, neither has to worry about supporting each other (aka court-mandated robbery)

Honestly some of the stories scare the **** out of me. Very successfully people getting wiped clean: lose the house, car, etc and left pinching pennies for themselves while work hard only to send it straight to someone else :x:x:x

Prenuptial is taboo because women make it. No man wants to feel the cold shoulder that's sure to follow when bringing prenups up.

The basis of a woman wanting to be married is rooted in emotions, to bring up money, you'd be forced to think about what happens if the marriage fails.

In this day and age with women earning more than before, I'd think women would bring the conversation up more often, but I guess not.

It's an oxymoron so to speak

Do you think it means you should not sign one?

Do you think the "I vow to be with you forever" actually means something?

Would that be willfully ignoring the statistics of divorce?

Do you think anyone ever got married saying "this is only going to last three years?"

If splitting up is an idea then it'll manifest itself IMO. Of course what I'm saying doesn't relate to everyone, just what I think.

I do think people get married for financial reasons knowing it won't last

I do think people get married "just cus".

Some people just don't take it serious. That's the reality of it

What do you mean by that?
 
brought this up at the family dinner table and everyone called me cold hearted. The Maury show and more have ruined me. If all it takes is meeting with some lawyers for a day to make a peice of paper that will protect assets fine. People change, mistakes are made and thinks happen. The paper just protects everything from the hassle of divorce in case

Do you think splitting up is a viable option? Or should a person stick around even though they are miserable? Or getting beat? Or the other person is a super mess up?

Do you think people change after marriage?

Thanks for being the only person to answer questions. I'm getting older, the thought of marriage scares the ish out of me, yet all my friends are doing it. I know love fades, the best you can hope for is an attachment. I think people change. I like the idea of an escape clause, I view marriage and love as two different things, one is a business one is an emotion.

If two people 100% came into the marriage with good intentions and things don't work out, in all for splitting up. I think the problem today is that people get married and don't even respect the commitment. That's why the separation rate is what it is

The solution like someone stated seems to be to marry someone who is equal or near your equal.
 
If you marry the right person you should know her well enough to know what she's about...I would have felt like an idiot asking my wife for a prenup before we got married for many reasons, some of them being

- it displays distrust when trust should be at the highest point
-I'm not rich
-seems like a real petty thing to do if you are not really dipped in millions..

Anywas everyone handles it differently, but if you feel your soon to be spouse will snatch half of what you built on your own without remorse, you should rethink marriage :lol:
