It's prenup...as in prenuptials. Nuptials being marriage.

I've been married for 12 years...too late for me.

You can always do a postnup

You think other people get married thinking they'll get divorced in a couple of years? Things happen in life, its not something you can control

Well I am honestly 99% positive that it won't happen. I would rather follow the principles I believe in even if there is a chance it may come back to haunt me.

The root of the problem is the media, family, and friends telling you how there's always someone out there for you. Guess what? This isn't the case for everyone! Some people are NOT meant to get married, but society as a whole can't handle/accept this! It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with a person who isn't cut for marriage, it's what it is.

Wrong, no. Sad, yes. Especially if that person has closed himself off from the possibility.

Why is it sad? If you have to look towards another person for happiness, you're going to fail no matter what.

It's not about someone else making you happy. It's about you making someone else happy. In the most intimate ways possible - and I don't just mean sex.

You have to be insane to be male and want to get married this day and age. With a divorce rate hovering at 50%, you might as well roll the dice on your financial livelihood.

Just because 'everyone else is doing it' doesn't mean you have to. If you know what you want your life to be, find a woman who wants the same things and has the will to make it happen. Or be bitter and alone. Your choice.

Thank you!

I'm kind of getting sick and tired of these threads that are saying "Oh, don't get married, you'll be miserable!" and that nomarriage.com site. Jesus, that site makes me sick. It's so one sided it's not even funny.

It's your choice to get married - find the person that makes you happy. Yes, people do change, sh!t happens. I'm planning on getting married because it's something I've always wanted. Good luck for you people that want to stay single forever and not get married because of BS financial excuses.

It is one-sided but it also contains quite a bit of truth. Doubtful? Are you close friends with any guys that have been married for at least five years? If so, ask them how much of that site is true. You might be surprised at what they tell you.

We're saying to get a prenup, not don't get married.

I don't think people realize what being divorced is like, the guy I used as an example had his financial life ruined. I think the reason most people don't get prenups is that they are scared their fiance will leave them just because they bring the topic up.

Guys if your girl leaves you over that then you had no chance to begin with.

Exactly. If she's in it for love then a pre-nup is irrelevant to her. If a girl gets pissed and leaves you because you suggest a pre-nup, you just dodged a bullet.
