Fact is, things can change, protect yourself.
I'm not a prenup person but, If a person is in a partnership (business relationship) the partner may feel more secure if one was in place. A wife can dissolve a business in a divorce.
With that said, all the young idiots talking about pussies on pedestals and the other bullshite don't really understand what marriage is.

Well, in some cases, it could start the marriage off on the wrong foot.
An in-law of mine was about to get married to her fiance when his family had him drop a pre-nup bombshell on her. Caused a lot of animosity on the other side of the family and, in turn, put a lot of stress on her and the new marriage.

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

This board is littered with "bitches be crazy" "all women ____" people. I try my best to ignore them and move on. Not worth the fight.

Well you're required by law to insure a vehicle, but I get your point.

Yeah it gets old for me too, but people still change after getting married. I don't care how much you know your spouse, some people still grow apart. Some people may cheat. Sometimes money becomes an issue.

Holy shite. Wish I saw this earlier. Are you fricking 12?Holy shite.
I don't understand the hatred of women by some of you youngsters.
You don't marry a pussy or for a house keeper. This person will be raising your babies and sharing your home. Choose wisely and you won't need a prenup.
Or marry a fricking dude. Seems like what you woman haters are really interested in after all.
You truly are clueless about women in today's society. And I won't change your mind. You have been programmed to think that these women are the "fairer sex". You think they are "better" than men. Women do not have better "morals" than men. Women are far sneakier and a hell of a lot more cold blooded than men. Wake up and smell the coffee man.
As far as hating women goes I can not speak for anyone but myself. I don't hate them. They are what they are. That would be like sticking your head in a lion's mouth, and then getting pissed off when it bites your head off.
But you are probably from a different generation and have a great lady as your wife. But times have changed and its rough out here brother. Its every man for himself and I protect myself at all times when dealing with these "ladies".
I could write a book on this stuff but bottom line.....chivalry is dead and women killed it. Get what you can and move on because if you don't, they will.

I was still in college. He had graduated six months prior. He owned a Pinto. I owned my clothes.

If there is no disparity in income, assets, or likely future earnings, no need for one.
If one party has a lot and the other has a little, I would want one if
I was the one with a lot and not want one if I was the one with nothing.
Just being practical.

Is this for a first wife or third? And if it is for a third,you would have even less to protect.

That's what it boils down to in my case. It's not about hating women or anything like that. It's about the reality that two people can go into a marriage with the best of intentions and the best of circumstances and it still doesn't work out. It doesn't mean that they're bad people necessarily. Some people are just incompatible, and it's not often something that can be predicted before marriage.
I've known people that were together for years, got married and were divorced in 6 months. Marriage changes the relationship. And after it's over, the men consistently get the short end of the stick in the courts, we all know it. Women, I don't blame them at all. Marriage is a much more attractive and safer option for them. Marriage was created for women to gain protection, and it does just that even as of today.
In my mind, I cannot just shut off the part of my brain that thinks practically. Does that mean I go into a relationship expecting it to fail? No, but everyone should know that the possibility is there. To say it's not is ignorant.

Why wouldn't she be entitled to half of what you put away while married? Just like you'd get half hers
I doubt if the waiver to one's retirement/401k account would be a one sided affair.
She deserves to lose half if she signs a waiver to mine, but it's not reciprocated. I wouldn't' allow it anyway.
I'm only asking to protect this one asset(both spouses) & I think it's fair.

When I got married me or my wife didn't have a pot to piss in, so no need for one.

My wife got it in her head that she wanted a divorce a few years ago. Hadn't communicated that she was unhappy so I was blindsided. We worked through it with the help of a good counselor but it opened my eyes to the statistics. Most men are blindsided by divorce. Men don't typically initiate divorce.

Were you sweating and wishing you had a prenup if things went south?

Same thing happened to a colleague of mine. Wife just said she didn't want to be married anymore. How the frick is anyone supposed to predict that, especially if they don't communicate that they're unhappy?
If people are like "well that can never happen to me" I just find that line of thinking to be ignorant. It happens all the time, even between people that have known each other for years. If you say well it could happen to me but that's a risk I'm going to take then I can understand that more.
