Not sure. Maybe because I didn't have the exact language of the document? He's anal about that sort of stuff. We've talked about it in the past and he thought prenups were too easy to get around.

When you truly love someone....you want them to be happy.
A real man would break it off and tell her to find a man that wants to be a parent as badly as she does. He would do that cause he loves her and realizes how important children are to her.
Yeah... I can see that side of it being a dick by him... that's a tough one though... he may truly love her and want her to be happy...and she may truly love him and want him to be happy as well... In the long run the guy is being about as honest as he can be... it's her choice at this point.

You're friend sounds like he has not been around enough people similar to him with children.
I had a good run during college and even more so during my mid to late 20's. I accomplished a lot of professional goals, traveled, chased women, and bascially answered to no one. However, all of those good times seem empty when compared to the fulfillment and purpose my daughter brought me after her birth this past Monday.
I laugh at how selfish and ignorant I was over the past decade before her. I can't spend enough time telling my friends that were like me to not waste time like I did.
Had I known how awesome this was I would have done it a long time ago.

I agree. I was told this in passing when i ate dinner with them the other day and they both seemed comfortable talking about it so there might be other circumstances or something. I don't know and I don't claim to understand the whole story. Ethically I don't really believe in prenups. They're just not my thing. But I am interested in law so I'm curious how it'd play out. That's why I started the topic.

although I'm sure most people agree, I think it's important to find the right companion to have a child with before having one... and that has been my struggle.

The dude is prettyselfish. He wouldn't be a great parent. He might change, but I think he would think that children weren't a good investment on his limited time and resources. Hell, I am single and 24 and I already want children so I don't even want to approach that line of thought.

I give their marriage a 0% chance of success. And that's being generous.
But I doubt they even make it to the altar.

This board gets dumber by the day.
I asked my lawyer friend in fake life, and he said the same thing.

I'm not concerned with moral quanderings. I don't wish to judge people in my life. I find that stuff evens itself out, in this life or the next. I'm concerned with the legal ramifications based on what people have told me.

You sound very jealous he is marrying her

Working.
Did I ever tell you that I tried to name my last kid "Maximus", but my wife wouldn't let me?

He is not forcing marriage on her.

Not at the expense of making you truly unhappy.

He is happy with status quo. If she wants children she needs to up and leave as she is seeking the change in the number involved in their relationship.
quote:

He may love her and not want children. He made this clear, its her choice to stay with or not.
How on earth can you believe this is the man's fault? The woman is aware of the fact he does not want children. She has the ability to leave...what is the problem?

Be a man and just say you don't ever want kids and you will never change your mind and that if she can't accept that to give the ring back.
My ex and I agreed to that as it was my only stipulation about getting married. 5 years later she wants a kid, I get a vasectomy and bam I'm out of the house. Oh yeah she kept the ring by the way. Had I not done all of that, there would be a kid in a really shitty situation.
What's so white trash about that? How many men get tricked into kids they don't want, the kid grows up in a bad spot, everybody is miserable all bc of a selfish woman who lied to get what she wanted.

Well than she is the idiot for staying with someone that clearly does NOT want kids when she clearly does.
