inheritance is already protected,


This would be my main concern.

Is it protected only if you receieve the inheritance before the marriage or does it still apply if the inheritance comes post-marriage?

I can't decide if the faux-alpha or the ignorance in this thread is more entertaining.

Every person and relationship is different, so I wouldn't criticize anyone else's decision. For me personally though, if I were getting married and felt that I needed to begin that marriage by planning for the possibility of divorce, I just wouldn't get married in the first place.

It is entertaing that people think that they're "alpha" just because they're single or married. Plenty of "beta" married and single folks. The woman does not make the man.

Most people don't go into a marriage with the idea that it might possible fail.

Posted by Henry Jones Jr I've never been able to understand this. Taking precautions doesn't mean you have no faith in your relationship to last. If something were to happen, then there's already a document signed by both parties and you don't have to get lawyers involved or frick each other over. Someone explain this to me.


Are you married? Do you have a prenup?

~50% divorce rate. Can't get much worse than that. People might as well sign them. Then guys can keep their shirts.



Misleading, Divorce rates has fallen since the 60's and 70's

while i do agree with this, there are probably 2 main reasons people get a prenup

1. been divorced and will not marry without one again.

2. first time marriage for youngsters where one of the couple comes from a lot of wealth at which point that particular guy/girl probably doesn't have a say so whether he wants one or not. it will be the parents forcing him/ her to have one.

the second one has nothing to do with the couple entering a commitment that they think may possibly fail, and you can't exactly blame the guy who's already been there, now can you?

Generally speaking, inheritance is separate property. Unless, like many, you convert it to community property. For example, if you inherit $100k in cash and put it in your joint checking account it can become converted to community property. If you inherit things like stock or mineral properties it is easy for the dividends or monthly payments to become community property - to the extent that the income stays in a joint account. There are plenty of ways to avoid this.

Yeah, I'm not divorced, or plan on doing it, but getting married was one of the biggest mistakes I've made. Nothing against my wife, but it's just not for me.

What's your problem with it and why won't you get a divorce?

Your wife is so lucky to have a spouse that can't even be honest with her.

at this point, I am about to embark on the next decade of my life, the 30's!

If its not happened by 35 I'd say, I will remain single
