FR....how many years?

How many of your friends also made it that far and are still married?

well let me put it in terms that you can understand and then we all can go back on topic:

1. I suggest you watch who you call "ghetto" especially since you have yet to define it.

1a. stop trying to be cute in front of your friends while using such terms....THAT isn't cute...it's akin to a lil kid using a word trying to be grown have NO CLUE to what they are saying and wondering why 5 mins later they are missing teeth...

2. If you or anyone else here thinks that I plan on taking time to go back and do a spell check or look for grammtical errors or find out where I missed a period or anything like that when I post just so I can please some of you young stuck up snot nosed brats...guess what.....I have a middle finger waiting for you....2 if you cant count

Ok??

Have a nice weekend.

Who care's about a pre-nup? if it lasts no one looses, and if it fails then one person looses less (it's almost impossible for a marriage to end without someone giving up something).

Just keep in mind that even the act of getting married is the act of taking a pre-existing relationship that for all intensive purposes is functioning quite well, and creating a legally binding contract basically saying that if the relationship should end up failing and you break up now instead of just trying to avoid running into each other at your favorite watering hole, one person has to give the other half they're stuff, half they're savings, half they're retirement and a portion of they're income, sometimes indefinitely.

So as long as you're going to bring contracts into it might as well add one in that assures that one person doesn't get screwed.

My cousin called to give good news....her boyfriend of 5 years finally proposed to her and she accepted.

We are all happy for them of course and she is excited but then, she tells me that he brought up the question of getting a pre nuptual agreement.

Here is the twist on it.

- She is making more money that he is, which he has no problems with.

- His idea is that the pre nup should be good for 5 years and if thier marriage survives beyond that, let the agreement dissolve.

his ideology is that he want's to do this to protect her just in case something happens. They are an otherwise happy couple with no hang ups and 2 wonderful kids but he acknowledges how marriage changes people and God forbid if something happened and they divorce, it could get really bad.

One of thier other friends that we all know had a really ugly divorce after only 4 years but had been together for 10 and as far as we know are still fighting over property.

I told her, I think it may be a good idea...I especially like the part of it not being a long lasting agreement and I told her if that is his way of thinking, I don't think he is being selfish but in a way, pragmatic about the situation and perhaps should at least look into it.

Any thoughts or opinions?

Personally, if I was making way more money than the guy, I wouldn't put an expiration date on the pre-nup.

But that's just me :)

I'm not sure if that really has anything to do with karma. Generally, people who are unhappy in their own lives wish unhappy things upon other people... 'cause you know, if they can't be happy, NO ONE CAN! :p

If they were wrapped up in happiness, they wouldn't really dwell on the fact that they think someone else is incompatible or won't "make it"... it might be a passing thought if they really believed it, but it wouldn't be something that comes up time & time again... :)

But I'm really glad you & your hubby are still goin' strong!
