there is no way I would marry someone who needed citizenship without a prenup

I don't think I'd get married again without one at all tbh, unless she had a lot more to lose than me

Women are emotionally driven and now they are empowered. There's a good chance she won't be a sweet loving darling in 5-10 years dude.

so, she agreed to a prenup.

she actually makes more than me currently, but I do have some assets, a duplex acquired a decade ago, and a new condo from the 200k my grandma gave me.

those two properties are signed by me and both my parents

My ex-wife made more than me when we got married, by the time we got divorced I made close to twice what she made.

circumstances change and people change


congrats on getting engaged though, srs

In the modern age its a no brainer to get a pre. It's more than just the money. legal feels during a divorce can cost tens of thousands and be a drag for everyone involved. A prenub will save both parties that expense for 1-2k (each) upfront.

If this thought even entered your mind, run! You’re about to get involved with the wrong person, and ruin your life.

Marry only when it’s a natural flow of things, when you never even talk about BS like this. I mean think about what you’re saying, you’re saying that you’re not 100% confident that this person has honor and dignity to never rip you off and take your money, and yet you want to marry her??? You out of your mind?

A prenup is for your own benedit. If you want to get rid of her, it allows you to do so without losing. Basically keeps her in check.

OP, I dont think she has any stake in properties you currently have before being married. Where most men go wrong is they add the wife to the deed after the fact. I am curious how men get the shaft with investment accounts. Like say I have 100K invested with nothing else added and at 25 you get married and at 65 it has turned into a million. I'm assuming you will be extorted for half even though no marital assets contributed to the growth.

That is what everyone thinks getting into marriage, so why are the divorce rates so high?

I've watched this a few times and think its very relevant to many people

You have to figure that women basically come into marriage with a free lawyer and legal system in their pocket.

Men dont have either of those things.

If you have a lot of money and investments and such it would be smart to have one.

For the regular guy, its not really needed. Its not like you can just get divorced and walk away free and clear just because you have one. She will just break out her free lawyer and together they will figure a way to screw you.

The real thing to do is to never let them know if you really love something. Lets say you love your playstation or tools or fishing poles or whatever. Once she knows that it will be the first thing she takes in the divorce. Like she even knows what the tools do but still she will want them and get them because she knows it will hurt you.

You always hear these stories of a woman being by your side to help you with your career and all that. Werll, its total bull**** and just something for tv. Reality is a wife is pretty much driving your boat around with your anchor halfway to the bottom. Its a constant drag that makes you have to work twice as hard to get anywhere. You can get some success but it will basically be despite them, not because of them.
"To be a warrior is not a simple matter of wishing to be one. It is rather an endless struggle that will go on to the very last moment of our lives. Nobody is born a warrior, in exactly the same way that nobody is born an average man. We make ourselves into one or the other."-- Carlos Castaneda

yeah man, sounds like a great way to live your life. Pretend to not care about any of your true passions that you'd ever want to share with her or others in your life.

I would not get a prenup, under the condition that I know the psychology of the person I'm marrying pretty well and that she isn't just "using" me.

Prenups I would assume just looks bad. lol.

If i don't know the girl well, I would get a prenup. But then again why git married.

You missed the part where most men get married young and didn't build a proper relationship. They marry material that isn't marriage material.

Asians in particular, have very low divorce rates.

Ghetto people tend to have high divorce rates.

I've seen what divorce does to people first hand. Its some sad chit. And, its for life.

Basically, its like having a 2001 Misc account and letting it go to chit.

marriage itself is a contract between you, her and the government, prenup is just an addition to that contract

an addition the government can decide to just throw out lol

My ex (no pics) divorced her husband and never took one penny or any property or anything else from him thou she took care of two kids, worked, and he had money he was offering her! THAT is a kind of person you want to be involved with, someone with honor.

My wife (no pics ****gits) rolls her eyes and doesn’t give a flying fuk about anything like that, and would sign or not sign literally anything I put in front of her and tell her to sign or not to sign. Again, this is a kind of person you want to be with. Someone who doesn’t have it in their blood to screw other people. If there is any hesitation, you dont trust the other person. Probably should just jump from one ass to another until you find someone like that, or die. LOL

But I guess if you must get married from some reason, maybe protect yourself… idk… the legal system is rigged against you, my lawyer friend does tell everyone to get one.
