I agree with you, it's not just wishful thinking. 'cause the botton line is you still have to face the person everyday.
Love without money is hard, ...but it's doable. Money without love is a frikkin nightmare.
That's why I always say "Any ~~woman~~ person who marries for money deserves every red cent s/he gets"
They've earned it! {LOL}

I agree with you there! it's definitely doable! As an old song said: "Love is a two way street".

I would never! He's too valuable. Oh wait! You are right, we'd need a pre-nup.

Poor people need pre-nups even more.

A broke person will never get over losing half their crap, LOL! Most of the guys I know making around 50K need two or three years to financially recover from a divorce.

I think it all depends on the individuals involved.

Absolutely agreed. I've more or less sold my soul for what I have now and the retirement I'll have so I'll be damned if someone who wasn't around for all the sacrafices (I did two deployments - shutting down my personal household for a total of YEARS at a time, not to mention the number of times I've almost been killed, both by the "enemy' and people supposedly on 'my' side) gets a red cent of what I gave the best years of my life for.

My retirement is MINE. I was the one who fought, I was the one who almost died more times than I care to remember - ladies, if any one of you wants on damn red cent of it, you best stick with me "for better or for worse"

Because sadly... for some people it is not about 'matrimony', it is about 'match the money'.

Marriage has always been about money from the start. Money, power, inheritance, and political alignment etc.,
It is only recently that "marrying for love" a custom previously only enjoyed by the poor, has become popularized throughout all echelons of society. For the upper crust, it has always been about money & politics.

Speaking of upcoming nuptials... guess which self-righteous, family values, born again Christian conservative politician's daughter has a little bundle baking in the oven? She'll be marrying soon. I hope his base can't add, because those numbers won't add up, ...but I'm sure they'll overlook it because even though she's a sinful fornicator, ...her father has been 'called by God', ...either that or they might just proclaim it to be a virgin birth.

I wonder if she'll have a pre-nup? There's no question about who will cater her wedding though...
I hear Halliburton got the no bid contract on that one. {giggle}

This post is stale as my supper was, but WHo you talking about here... We are NOt talking a girl/ girl wedding R-we

& I sold all my HAL/KBR (a little late) too if that make'z you feel any better.

This is a conventional girl/boy wedding. Only VICE presidential families can quietly get away with the girl/girl stuff

HAL? Just messing w/ ya... SOme liberals get all bent when you tell them you own HAL or GD etc..
Its fun to watch their neck veins pulse... Angry Liberals are like a oxymoron incarnate...

Next, its time for a history lesson and explain to them how Jimmy Carter is the jerk responsible for the present state of the Oil Region (Mid East)

If you go into a marriage with any thought of it ending, you shouldn't get married period. And people wonder why the divorce rate is so high. No one takes it serious.

Unfortunately while it takes two people to get and stay married, it only takes one person to decide they want out. Then guess what? No matter how seriously the other partner might take marriage, the marriage is gone. One would be wise to protect oneself.

I just couldn't see it....I think it states distrust from the get go....I never even gave it thought in my marriage

Neither did I. Apparently she did. That's why next time, IF there is a next time, I'm protecting myself, my retirement, and my properties.

Granted, that's a pretty big "if"!!!!

What are your thoughts on Prenups?

this sums it up quite nicely....

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

-- William Shakespeare

No man has to worry about me attempting to "make out like a bandit"...If I were to ever sign a prenup it would be to ensure I retain *my* assets.

I hear ya there.

On a sad note, ...it appears Shaq is devastated. His wife has hid her assets from him.
That's one of the quickest ways to invalidate a pre-nup, ...by not fully disclosing all assets prior to entering into it, although usually it is the spouse with lesser assets who tries to invalidate based on non-disclosure. $:-\$

I hope things work out amicably between them. They both seemed like pretty cool people to me.

Tre · « **Reply #42 on:** October 03, 2007, 06:08:43 PM »

Here in CA, one doesn't have to disclose everything. If you inherit money or land from your family, then that's untouchable by the other spouse, regardless of whether you disclosed its existence in the pre-nup.

So long as the source can be traced - and in matters of inheritance, there's generally a substantial paper trail - you're fine.

I have to have a pre-nup, period.

Love is love.

Money is money.

It's 2 different things that shouldn't be mixed together.

If I'm going to inherit a 3 million dollar house why should some girl be entitled to half of it?

No way!

I would never sign a prenup. It means to me that the person I would be marrying doesn't know me at all. I wouldn't take any man for his money, not my thing. Well unless he was unfaithful, that would be the only time I would want revenge!

It is impossible to know what someone's thinking on the inside. I've seen people act one way in public, but are completely different deep down. Many times you only know about someone what they're willing to show you. People can conceal sides of themselves if they choose to. Every woman says "ohh I don't want the money" but when it comes down to it, it has been scientifically proven people act based on emotion and then justify it with logic. So when you have millions staring at you you're probably going to take it and then try to justify it "ohh he was an asshole I deserve the money".

That is why I feel if you get with some rich dude, be willing to sign a prenup to show him that your intentions are pure and genuine. Show him that you love him and not his money. "I would never sign a penup."

Lol I'm listening to Howard Stern about some beautiful chick who wrote on craigslist looking for a rich guy and a wealthy CEO responded to her saying that beauty in women is a depreciating asset and wealth in men is an appreciating asset and that a guy is better off leasing a woman instead of buying her. Hehehe.
