  • The popular belief is that prenuptial agreements are bad.

    Go talk to a marriage counselor they will tell you the exact opposite. A prenuptial agreement make sure that everybody is on the same page. It makes sure there’s no misunderstandings as to how a marriage should run. It also make sure there’s no misunderstandings of how a divorce should be handled.

    Hollywood would make you believe that a prenuptial agreement is wrote by one person it’s actually wrote by two. And technically it’s actually wrote by four. The two people getting married and each one of them have an attorney. So that’s four people that are getting this thing wrote.

    It protects you from unknown events in the future. For example, let’s say you and I get married no prenup. Few years later I have a traumatic brain injury and I get a personality change out of it. This can actually happen. Well now I’m a sociopathic asshole. Now it’s all me me me. If there’s been a prenuptial agreement, you are protected. I would’ve made sure that future you was protected from future me.

    It also clears up how things should be handled such as if one of us owns a house. Who gets the house is your name going to be on it? What happens to it during a divorce? Everybody has their own opinions on all this shit happen, but very few people will write it down.

    We’ll talk about how we think these things should be happening, but we won’t write them down and then years later we claim, but I didn’t really say that or I didn’t mean that.

    Here’s the problem. We all have a prenuptial agreement at the moment you get married. The state has wrote it. I can pretty much guarantee you you won’t like the one the state wrote. Write one yourself.

    It’s the same way with a will. The state has already wrote you a will I can pretty much guarantee you’re next of kin is going to hate that will.

    If you gotta buy a used car, you want everything in writing not just the other person‘s word at it. If you buy a new house you want it wrote down not just the sales person‘s word of what is or is not covered. So why would you have a verbal conversation with your significant other of how a marriage should be run and how divorce should be handled, but not write it down?

    In my opinion, you get married you get a prenup. Make sure everybody’s on the same page. If they refuse to write it down, Handle it the exact same way you would handle buying that house. They don’t want to write it down you run.

    How many people do you know of who got married then got divorced, and the judge absolutely screwed them over.? With a prenup, you are telling the judge how to handle the divorce. The judge isn’t telling you what happens. Again a prenuptial agreement is wrote by two people. Both people have equal say as to what is in it, both people are equally represented by attorneys. Therefore, nobody can claim one person had control over the other.










  • I’m just going to respond to the tldr.

    I’m very small reasonable percentage. But that’s for me to decide what is reasonable. Not anybody else. After that, I’m going to live a better life and yes, I’ll hire people on to do stuff that I don’t want to do or not capable of doing. And I’m going to travel the world and see things that a lot of people can’t do. I don’t have to share beyond that. So I guess I’ll just go get fucked, but hey, you know what I don’t give a shit. As long as a person is sharing a reasonable percentage of their income, that’s good enough. Telling a person to share so much that they can’t afford to pay other people to do the stuff they don’t want to do or aren’t capable of is in my opinion, just stupid. Tell me a person to share so much that they can no longer travel around the world and see nice things and live a better life in my opinion is just stupid.
