What is your opinion on prenuptial agreements? - GoFuckYourself.com

07-24-2004, 06:37 PM

Personally, I think prenups are a terrible thing. What kind of foundation is your relationship/marriage based on, if you prepare yourself for failure in advance?

I am not married, nor ever divorced, but lately I have been thinking about marrying and this issue just came up with a friend... your opinion? I fuckin' dispise prenups...

Dude with divorce rate so high.....I think it is a necessity if you have sizable money and assets

Spunky · 07-24-2004, 06:40 PM

It's a damn good thing to cover your ass against those gold digging whores

Juicy D. Links · 07-24-2004, 06:41 PM

Imagine i get married then divorced then chick gets half.... then i will have to give her half of my post count on GFY...thats fucked up man if i have to do that

SKULL · 07-24-2004, 06:41 PM

I s a good thing...

cherrylula · 07-24-2004, 06:42 PM

How about just don't marry someone if you are not sure if you trust them and their sense of morals.

I don't understand why people take vows like "til death do us part" and then get divorced.

I think they forget why they are getting married in the first place. Every single female I know that is married did it because they wanted some big stupid party and a pretty dress, or because she was pregnant.

And then you have the xtians bitching about gay marriage. You mean those stupid parties where they release doves and shit? Who fucking cares.

The reality is if you are wealthy and planning to get married you'd be foolish not to. Most women who go after guys with money are looking at their wallet from the get go. Wealthy guys know this from the get go too.

A marriage is as much a business partnership as it is a love partnership. This is one of the reasons so many fail. They don't plan the business part out well.

Just like when you set up an LLC or Corporation operating and shareholder's agreement its wise to plan for every eventuality if things don't work out as planned.

Something like 1 out of 2 marriages fail. Those are lousy odds if you are a betting man. Marriage is thus a gamble. Better to have insurance on your bet then not.

I can fully understand it from the business point of view, especially if you have lots to loose. BUT! As Lula said, I must completely agree with her.

Unless you are gulible, naïve and blinded easily, you should exactly know what you are "buying" into (like KRL said). Marriage is mainly about trust, and in my opinion you should either not marry the bitch if she's out for your dough, or not set yourself up for failure...

Maybe I am too young to understand.

True but failure might not always be within your own power. Failure of a marriage might be out of your own hands so better safe then sorry.

I would do it, no doubt about it, i've seen to many marriages gone bad.

Trixie Racer · 07-24-2004, 07:38 PM

Prenups are a neccessity. I wouldn't marry without one.

Trust these days in relationships?

Good luck finding that in someone. I don't even bother expecting or looking for it anymore. I just assume the worse from the get go and don't get disappointed anymore.

I think prenup is more of a proof that you are marrying only for love. It should be considered as a good faith agreement.

80smetal · 07-24-2004, 07:52 PM

I dont know, there not my thing but my wife makes well over 300k and she never once said shit about a prenup

We been married 6 years and going strong.

chodadog · 07-24-2004, 07:54 PM

I think if you feel you need one, you shouldn't be getting married. I think some people treat the idea of marriage too casually. There should be no thought of a "backup" plan when going into something like that. And people can throw divorce statistics at me all they want, if people would get married for the right reasons, and to the right people, those statistics wouldn't be as fucked up as they are.

Tom_PMs · 07-24-2004, 08:03 PM

I wouldnt marry. Period. There is totally no need to get married. None.

Real love doesn't require a prenup. But it's hard to find real love these days

That statement alone invalidates everything that you just said.

BVF · 07-24-2004, 08:07 PM

and prenups don't just cover money...It covers custody issues also and that is a BIG part of a prenup.

I'm telling you. A bitch will be all lovey dovey and all of that but wait until she gets pissed off....she WILL fuck you...If you think otherwise, you're an idiot.

I wouldn't even get married again unless the woman was rich..but even then I'd want an agreement on the custody issues of any future children.

And even if you get a prenup, it will still be challenged in court and that will cost you even more money to pay your lawyer to argue the validity of the prenup..

Marriage is a lose/lose situation for a man. I'd only marry again if there were no kids and she was making more money than me.

rowan · 07-24-2004, 09:23 PM

I'm in two minds about it. I'm recently married (approx 9 months ago) and I was considering a prenup. A friend pointed out that she becomes an implicit partner in my business when we tie the knot, which could cause some 'issues' if we ever split. I had a good think about it, also discussed it with her, but in the end I decided not to go ahead with it.

I will bookmark this thread and get back to you guys if we ever divorce.

If you have any assets, you should get one. But the chances of it actually holding up in court is a different story. I've seen it happen.

Holly · 07-24-2004, 10:55 PM

To say that you just shouldn't marry someone if you're not 100% sure or committed, is being terribly naive. How many people do you think are divorced right now that were 150% positive they had found their soulmate for life and they would be married forever? It can happen to anyone.

If you've got assets or children, you should always get a prenup. If someone doesn't want to sign, then don't marry him/her. And if you're *positive* you'll never divorce, then it really doesn't matter anyway because you'll never need or see the paper again after you both sign it. Do it, put it away, and forget about it.

Or just shack up. That's a whole lot easier.
