[QUOTE="RitchieDavies, post: 1193496, member: 48751"] Heh, I don't know what's up with the negative response to ORLY!?!. I suppose Re-Raise feels some special kinda way about this topic and his wife, but that response if you ask me, was unnecessary. I have to agree with ORLY!?!, because the truth of the matter is: the days of our parents and grandparents staying together forever after being married are long over. After all, take a good look at the divorce rate today... and I hope you don't think you can't be a part of that statistic. I mean, love aside, if you've been in relationships before you were married then you should know, that sometimes... hell freezes over and things in a relationship can go sour. And in some cases, the woman you've been loving one day turns into a totally different person... Someone earlier on here once said something along the lines of "Getting a Prenup is planning on your marriage to fail." but I have to disagree with that as a prenuptial agreement is just a safeguard in case things DO go wrong and once again, they CAN go wrong. This is just reality; and in an ideal world, things like this wouldn't be necessary, but if you wish to protect the money and things that you've put your sweat, blood and tears into (and no one should fault someone for doing just that) then it is. Sure, she might be hurt from you asking for one, (which she shouldn't because if she doesn't want to marry you after you asking her for one, then you probably should think about what she's really after...) but you're gonna be hurting when or if she takes half of your possessions, all the while she was probably sitting on her duff while you were working. Money doesn't grow on trees, or so the saying goes. But to each his own... I'm sorry if I come of as an ass or something of the sort. I'm just very blunt and don't sugarcoat, which I guess... causes people to perceive me as one... then again, who knows? Ha, maybe I am an ass. [/QUOTE]
