kissmedeeply: Yup but i know by experience with erics heart he would let me have the world..

Hhahaha but we wont find that out will we...

For me even if something happen and i got married again i still would feel the same about prenups...

dont agree with them at all

If you dont trust the person and have to think of having one then i wouldnt marry him..
I just think going from previous personal experience when people are hurt and different side of them comes thro ( not all some), I was ripped off big time with my divorce and left with nothing, all tho we had talked about what we would do if we ever split up.

I have reached a time in my life when i would not be prepared to let that happen again, much too old to pick up and start over and if a person really loved me they would understand that as I would the other way round.

Not saying i would want what was righfully theirs, just what i took into the relationship. wine

katt1017: I guess we were lucky that we had been together long enough to know each other very well before we were able to marry. We had already seen the worst of each other and the best.

I was madly in love with one person in the past who turned out to not be who I thought she was. Looking back though the signs were all there I just did not want to see them at the time. I helped her to deceive me.
When we love someone , thats easy to do and sure we all have at some point hug bouquet

katt1017: So you don't trust this person?You think she may only be after your money?Then why be with her?It's not that difficult to understand. Would you drive a car that you did not think the brakes were good on? Would you fire a gun if you thought it might blow up in your face?

Why marry someone you don't trust then?


laugh rolling on the floor laughing ...trust.....i wouldn't trust the pope or the queen of england.....hahahaha

yes i know i have some issues when it comes to trust.....

morgan5: As i learnt if things don't work out you can see a very different side to a person you did not know existed, I found that out the hard way, so yes, if i re married i think they are a good idea.

Yes, they are important, certainly to me. I am not getting married, but we are to live together at the end of May.

We have had an agreement drawn up, she has property that she is letting out, she also has a child and she has to protect him and herself. I would want her to do nothing less.

Everything is clear, if we split up there would be no need for fighting over assets. We both know where we stand and what each of us will receive in the event of death/parting. This will be amended once we have children together, accordingly.

I hear you. Thank you. I will never marry someone I don't trust. But then again, I have never been married. He can be just a companion if I like him.

Prenups are not important to me, my house is left to my sons and i wouldn't expect anything from a partner that is left to his children. To me love, honesty and sincerity cannot be bought or sold. Shrouds do not have pockets!, we came into this world with nothing and thats the way we go out.!!!

Very sensible, and after your story on another thread, your decision to do so has nothing whatsoever to do with lack of trust as others seem to think pre-nups boil down to.

It´s all well and good to say they shouldn´t be necessary if two people are in love, but it´s a sad fact of life that many relationships do not stand the test of time and end bitterly. Just look around yourselves here on CS!

I doubt whether I will marry again, so that will probably be a decision I never have to make, but I do think about my daughter and son who have their own houses, well paid jobs with guaranteed pensions etc etc. I wouldn´t like to see them lose any of those things they have worked so hard to get.

I suppose a lot does depend on the assets a person has.

why...i am just being realistic......when 50% of all marriages in the west are over in three years..(average)...why leave myself open to the obvious??

i just love to see all this ..DEVIL MAY CARE ATTITUDE TOWARD THE MATERIAL....devil

and the idealism towards romance...hahahaha...such pride to be so in love that trust is a given and money does not matter...


only those who are warm and full can boast such valuestongue

in the real world...things change....and we need to consider our position....

it is too easy for a woman to marry ...and then to file for divorce ...and get a real big pay check....like she earned it
...hahahahaha

like mark...married 4 months...and then she filed!!

so in love,,,they were....now ..she gets a pay check ...for what?
