It amazes me that people would get married without a pre-nup .

First you don’t go in thinking “this probably won’t work out.” Secondly jeff bezos wasn’t rich when he got married, so they didn’t need to divide up the little that each brought to the table. No one New the internet would take off and that amazon would take over the world

I forget the comedian, but his comment was why would you EVER get married when HALF of ALL marriages fail? Imagine you were going skydiving and the instructor said, “Hey, I need to tell you something. When we jump out of this plane, there’s a 50% chance it’s not going to open.” Would you still jump?!?

How? The only way to make divorce less common is to outlaw it. And I’m sure there are quite a few people who would hate that. Just let people make their mistakes/own decisions and marry/divorce who they want

What do men lose in divorce? Isn’t it when the income is significantly different that the other spouse loses more?

It’s probably a blessed by ignorance thing so yes I get that but in some cases it can completely blindside them so it’s definitely a shock. More than likely this is something whoever brings the divorce has considered for some time (in most cases unbeknownst to the other) so they are prepared to deal with it more so than the other. Also regarding why would one be happy and the other not? That’s kind of the manifestation of divorce? Clearly one party no longer wants to be in that arrangement (or contract) and would be happier no longer involved

I just laugh at everyone with separate finances in a marriage. It is almost like you're already preparing yourself for divorce.

Lol Mt Olympus. AM1 you seem to be the one being so sensitive and defensive about your marriage lol.

Look, I’m not disagreeing with you that shared finances is important part of marriage for a lot of people because of the reasons you state. I’m just saying I think it’s rude to laugh at others just because they have different priorities. You can laugh, and I can think you’re rude. It’s really ok.

If one spouse makes all the money, what is the prenup typically like? Split income earned 50/50 or what?

You can make it anything you want...

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.
