Prenup?
What do I think?
I think at the point we have reached in life, to marry without a prenup is crazy.
And if your lovah says that you are being unromantic and untrusting, you had best do some reconsidering and maybe some serious running.
I have known of some real messes made by later in life marriage without a prenup. It's not just about protecting assets for your kids, although that seems to be everyone's first thought. It's about protecting assets for yourself.
Or might it sometimes just be easier to do things like K. T. Oslin sings about in "Live Close By, Visit Often"?
I remember getting into an argument with a guy at work over this one. It got pretty heated -- although it really was a good natured debate.
I think I won by creating awful scenarios in which I asked my opponent to imagine himself caught -- because he did not believe in prenups. It was fun to debate, especially for me because I was right.
He never did admit I had won though. But I could see his wheels turning so I knew.
