Titcarsilly.::won't explain why here. doesn't want to hijack::I think a lot of confusion comes from the conflation of romantic ideals with the institution of marriage. Two people can live a lovely life together forever and forever; two people can get married. You can have either without the other.It seems to me that the concept of marriage is taken in proxy to represent the romantic ideals. I find this completely flawed. Of course, my stance causes me no end of grief in relationships.

There's nothing wrong with a prenup except that it isn't very romantic.

If I were about to marry someone, and I thought, "Hmm, maybe I should get a prenup," I'm probably marrying the wrong person.
Can I author a prenup that withholds assets as she withholds sex??
To be fair to hank and qui, if what they meant was something like, "If I were about to marry someone, and I thought, "Hmm, maybe I should get a prenup because I feel this person intends to stab me in the back," I'm probably marrying the wrong person," then I agree too.
It should be more like:"I'm taking a leap of faith with this person I'm deeply in love with. I know, there are no guarantees in life. If things don't work out, I want to be fair and maintain a good standad of living for myself and our kids (if any). If this relationship ends, I don't want to be blind sided or be in a situation where I'll HATE this person I'm currently in love with. I want to put all my cards on the table right now and discuss directions we should take and reach a mutual agreement now in the even that things don't work out in the future."

Any guy that asks me for a prenup can go @#!* himself.

don't hurt me.
J, if you didn't bring enough penis for everyone, you shouldn't have brought any penis at all.
