What? Look, I'm going to air this out here right now. My parents are very well off. I lucked out. Won the ovarian lottery. Why on earth would I want to have to split my inheritance with someone? I don't think emotionally, Josh. That might be where we differ.

I read your concern of money and future inheritance may be holding you back. No ones parents wants thier money bequeathed to you to go to your spouse or future exspouce. In my state and the surrounding states, seminars on living trust and trusts are advirtized all the time for this type of planning. I did do a pre-nup mainly due to my business and equipment. Because if it went bad, I needed to make sure I still had the tools to provide.


Talk with your folks. Don't let a inheritance be a monkey on your back. Estate planning is a must in my book. Do some reading or go to a seminar on it. You may even find a rich women there.

Couldn't give 2 shits about the government or finance aspect of it. After 8 months I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with my wife. Icing on the cake was the 2 little humans I got to be a part of creating.

Same.

My little humans just arrived at the same time lol. They completed what my wife and I started.

Here inheritance is about the only thing that is NOT community property. You get to keep it all.

I think the real question is why the **** do people get married when they're on the fence to begin with. We all know full on going into marriage what the flip side is to a perfect life.

If you're undecided, you're not committed, therfore not ready.

That's why you don't understand marriage. It is an emotional bond with another so deep that the man doesn't worry about his risks.

You never will since you grew up so wealthy. The best you will ever do is a prenump. I hope I don't affend you. I'm just calling it like I see it. Marriage obviously isn't your thing.
Can vouch for this. Even after getting my ass handed to me in divorce I found a girl that I wanted to marry. Stars didnt align in the end but I wasnt worried about the money enough not to marry her. Been a year and i still have the ring just in case.

Michael get a dog in the meantime. Mines my BFF lmao.

So you can't have commitment without being married? Hogwash. Not buying it.
How can you be committed if you either party can leave whenever they want?

I do see your point, this is because people do not marry for love or forever anymore. Marriages(1/2 of which fail, thus your point) today happen based on wants, marrying for lust/sex/money/etc, instead of unconditional unfailing love which marriage is supposed to be based on.

The government should have no say in who/why you marry. It should be between you and God only!

Not offended. I think you're probably right. Either the prenup or I marry a gal with megabucks. In which case I will gladly sign a prenup so her assets are protected. But if I do that it's all a money game isn't it? A financial/governmental contract.

Thank you for sharing dude. I’m not too privy on how inheritances work, but can you not put them into an account your wife would not be able to access? I could understand that.

But money aside, what other downside is there? If you go in thinking about how it could end, it will put the entire relationship into a different filter / perspective. You should be with someone because they make you happy. No more, no less. As long as the relationship is healthy.

The other downside is failure. Roughly 50% or maybe a bit above of all marriages fail. I have failed at enough things in life and do not need to add to that list. But I still don't get why marriage is a necessary thing if your relationship is already good and firing on all cylinders. What's going to make it better by inviting Uncle Sam and religion into it?

I've was foolish enough to try and fail at marriage twice. The 1st time we both failed and were too young to get married, it should have never happened...the 2nd one, I loved with all my heart and if I'm being honest still harbor those feelings for her, but she had a 2 year affair with another married man and broke up 2 families. I honestly don't believe that modern women are capable of a lifetime of commitment. Feminism has completely ruined at least 2 generations of females. Social media and liberal ideology have convinced most women that if you find a better option or one that makes you feel good you should take it. Committment is passe. On top of this, the court system has become completely gynocentric. Why do men pay child support and alimony at a 91% clip compared to women? When you walk into court as a man in a divorce proceeding you are already 10 steps behind the woman no matter who was primarily at fault. That's the cold hard truth. If I told you that the plane you were about to get on had a 50% chance of crashing, would you get on it? Of course not! Yet everyday men knowingly and voluntarily get on the "marriage plane" knowing it's got a 50/50 shot at going down in flames, and if it does it is an utmost certainty that it will ruin them financially. So...OP to answer your question, yes it is wise to leave the government and religion out of your relationship. If you truly love someone and they truly love you...the paper is not necessary to prove it. I loved and cherished both of my wives when we got married...people change, things happen...nothing is permanent. For those of you who have long lasting, happy marriages...congratulations. You are the exception not the norm.
