Your initial response to me implied that you assumed someone who avoids marriage somehow avoids wanting a relationship…as if the two concepts simply can not exist together.[/quote]
You avoid marriage because you can’t trust women to not screw you over financially/emotionally. I don’t know what kind of relationships you think you’re having but I wouldn’t call them that. LOL
Because you’re acting like being rich and married is always destined to end horribly.
[quote]Once again, why is MARRIAGE seen as the only sane logical leap for a well grounded person as if avoiding the paper work makes you less than you somehow?

Are you being dense on purpose?
Quote me anywhere I have said marriage is the “only sane logical leap for a well grounded person”.
I’m pretty sure I stated quite clearly that not wanting to get married, or getting married under conditions like a prenupt, are perfectly acceptable options and ideal for some people.
You are the most defensive, combative, and self-centered man on earth, X, and that is why you should not get married. You don’t make enough money to adequately compensate for these shortcomings.
I think we can all agree that (1) marriage is a lot of give and take (2) being kind and honest are important (3) loving your spouse and being monogomous are supreme (4) coming from different cultures adds to the stress within a marriage.

Well, you take care of all your lying and other selfish needs on here, HH.
I think people need to realize that having a prenuptual agreement is no different than having a marriage “agreement.” People want to get married because they want to know that the other person also wants to spend the rest of their life with them. It’s just a precaution. In that regard, if asking for a prenup is selfish, then so is asking for marriage. Personally, I believe that there is a lot of gray regarding what a woman is owed after a divorce. To automatically get 50% is ludicrous, though.
Although I do think Professor X can be a little too defensive/argumentative, thank GOD he doesn’t just sit there telling everyone he could beat them up like so many people on this site do when they “argue.” I can at least appreciate that he is intelligent and doesn’t just say “o yea why don’t you fly to wherever it is I live and I’ll kick ur ass homo!”

Are you serious? Most people make decisions for their own benefit. You may have found someone who cares more for you, but that doesn’t discount the entire world filled with people who don’t. If finding a wife or husband you could trust with your life, finances and heart was that easy, no one would be getting divorced.

?
This hasn’t been said anywhere. How does covering your ass sound like every marriage ends horribly if money is involved?

This thread isn’t even about me…so why are you so focused on me and not the topic?

Question, is there anyone on the forum (a guy) who makes six figures or more who also makes considerably more than the wife, who got divorced, and did not get raped financially and considers his divorce to have gone smoothly?
I seem to be getting nothing but responses from people who don’t even fit the qualities listed specifically in the first post.

I tatted a doctor once. His wife took all his money in a divorce…he got her being shot in the face on his back. lol

Damn.
But then, we have Canadians claiming they know tons of people where the guy was making much more income who got divorced and things went GREAT!
They threw parties, made cake. Hell, they even still have friend sex!!
…and she didn’t even want the house or the cars!!!
