Ahh internet
So I post on a forum somewhat infrequently. Today I started to read a thread on prenups because I figured it would be intersting.
Someone posted this:
When you introduce a prenup, not only are you insuring against a divorce, you are saying that you don’t think that the person you are marrying is going to be reasonable throughout the divorce process. That’s the kicker. How do you walk down the aisle if you don’t have trust at this level?
So I replied:
Umm… I’m not sure that *I* would trust myself to be entirely reasonable throughout a divorce process. After watching friends break up, divorce and my parents divorce I have to say that during these situations people often think the other person is being unreasonable no matter what and the situation deteriorates from there.
I’m not sure what I think about prenups, especially since I’m a grad student so I don’t really have any finances.
He then replied:
I guess I don’t think that all people should get married or have kids. If you can’t expect yourself to be reasonable, isn’t there a bit of negligence involved in getting married to begin with?
Oh man that TOTALLY made my week! I love the implication that I should never have children or get married.
