when it comes to antenuptial agreements i think i'd require my lady to sign a document stating that she agrees to divide our joint property in accordance with the outcome of a challenge at the time of our parting of the ways.

best out of three in an arm wrestling match. winner takes all. none of this sissy fifty-fifty crap.

I'm sorry, but I don't subscribe to the "marriage is not a business arrangement" mentality.

Because that is exactly what it is. Yes, love is important, but there have been too many incidences of love not being enough and too many divorces to prove that.

I think the average working person needs a prenup just as much as a rich person. I don't think it's just a man thing either. Women should be making dudes sign prenups. I remember Chris rock said something to the effect of " If I made a 100 million.... I can give you 50 million....and I'll be alright, If I made only $30,000 I'm not giving you 15,000 and I'm moving back to my momma's house "

You are preaching the gospel truth. Wealthy folks can survive an expensive divorce. Not so with those in the middle.

Make sure you get a credit check before you walk that aisle. I'm being serious.

you really don't have to title your threads in all capital letters. we'll seem them with lower case letters, I promise you.

I know that these prenups are suppose to make things easier when the divorce finally happens; but don't a lot of them get contested anyway?

True and this could have been an orgnote verses a snide comment on somebodies thread. I know caps get on some peoples nerves, zaza bitched me out about them once. However zaza also added a cute pic of a crying dog to boot so all was forgiven.

You really don't have to give a fuck! Makes no difference to me, I promise you.

Exactly. I'm not getting why folks are coming on threads not to discuss the topic, but to drop some nonsense jab. For real? Folks ain't got nothing better to do?

^ real talk

I don't really think it's all that serious. I just found the comment funny. Could it have been an orgnote? Sure. Could the non-orgnote have been ignored? Sure.

Oh please, you don't have to explain shit to anyone.

If you're poor, then why bother with a pre-nup?

I mean, half of nothing is nothing, regardless.

But if you're wealthy or have assets, then it makes sense.

Just remember that the person that you are with today and vows to love you no matter what could at any time wake up and decide it was a mistake. All bets off.

I never noticed that all her thread titles really are in all caps. That's funny.

That's why I found his comment funny. I actually have noticed it. It wasn't a big deal when I noticed. Isn't one now.

I'm very happy that I had my husband sign a prenup. Now I'm in the middle of the divorce and my assets are protected.

It is my experience that men allways think they can get all my money! My (soon te be) ex-husband is not the first guy to profit from me.

He made good money, however he was mainly living on my assets and money. As soon as other people were present, he would pick up the bill and pretend he was allways paying for me. He would pay everybodies drinks, pretending it came out of his wallet. Next day he would withdraw that of our joint account. In that way he had everybody convinced that I was a kept woman.

The divorce will come up in court in the next couple of months. The whole financial struggle during our marriage still haunts me.

Girls, make sure you still own your house and savings after you found out that during your marriage he was cheating on you. And make sure you will never be legally accountable for his debts. Men don't have a good reputation when it comes to treating their women right.

that's so sad.

Yep, still hurts. Especially because I trusted him.

On the other hand, that's just life. I'll get over it. We all have to deal with whatever life throws at us and just get over things, don't we?

All that misery and crisis and suffering is purifying for the soul. Only when the suffering is at it's all time high, humans will reflect on themselves in order to prevent similar suffering in the future. I also needed that experience to learn about some issues.

I have grown by this experience. I'm thankfull for that. Now I need to work on getting the bitterness and anger out of my system. I hope my lawyer will help me with that.

That's the problem, and you are aware of it. Try finding a different type of man, one who is not living off you, but has his own.
