You do realize you can sign this thing called a PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT before marriage that would sort all this out right? EVERYONE who is getting married should have one written up and signed.

asking for a prenup is a better guarantee of dying alone than being a FJ anon

To all these guys - i know it sucks, but there is only one way to really solve this problem:

> Rise up and overthrow this entire corrupt system... top to ******* bottom.

> And in the meantime, don't get married, don't give out personally-identifying information if you "hit it" www.mgtow.com

Real men don't cry about ****** options - they just get stuff done.

My question is: Why do I need a piece of paper and some other asshole that says I love someone?
#293 to #196 - anon (11/23/2015) [-]
You don't, ******* .

Getting married has jack dick ******* to do with being in love, it's a legal agreement that gives you the LEGAL RIGHTS of spouses. Marry a friend for tax benefits if you ****** feel like it.
User avatar #174 to #12 - theugandanhero (11/23/2015) [-]
But it's not like you can force your fiancee to even sign the damn thing.
Also, try to think of the can of worms you're opening when you're essentially telling her that you don't trust her enough to be wed without signing a prenup.

**** no, I am not ever getting married. I just hate to watch people throw their perfectly alright lives by being with the wrong person that we all know will turn around and become a completely different person in the end.
User avatar #303 to #215 - herparderpington (11/23/2015) [-]
I honestly don't see why people feel the need to get married.
My parents never got married and probabbly never will.
Both of them work and sometimes my father loans money to my mother but that's it.
Marriage is a useless waste of time and money.
User avatar #262 to #215 - assassindash ONLINE (11/23/2015) [-]
Well, look at it this way, if she's unwilling to sign it, and holds it against you for even bringing it up, she was likely not going to work out in the first place.
User avatar #269 to #262 - theugandanhero (11/23/2015) [-]
Yes but my point is that men in some cases are blind to what's really going on and wouldn't sacrifice their relationships for anything in the world. Which can become really problematic when you're with someone that you truly want to be with but they don't feel the same and you just can't see through that.

People don't realize that the problem with a prenup is that if she takes you to divorce court and says that you threatened/forced her to sign a prenup at marriage it will get thrown out by the court
User avatar #277 to #276 - assassindash ONLINE (11/23/2015) [-]
After a year or two of being together, that accusation probably couldn't hold any ground what-so-ever.

Yeah in most courts maybe, but I think you underestimate how biased family court is.

Just look at the custodial percentages then, in 2007 only 17% of fathers in divorces were granted custody. dalrock.wordpress.com/2011/08/15/latest-u-s-custody-and-child-support-data/

Before I waste minutes of my life reading that, can you confirm how many married men in that category went through with the "prenup"?
#292 to #286 - rainbowblast ONLINE (11/23/2015) [-]
Here's more "In fact, prenups get blown up regularly, says Michelle Smith, CDFA, of Smith Financial Strategies Group in New York. “Judges are the ones who make the final rulings. And they are human beings, just like everyone else. They are reading the faces in the room, and body language." www.divorce360.com/divorce-articles/law/advice/can-i-break-this-prenup.aspx?artid=890

That's not a guarantee that you'll be safe. The courts can and sometimes do ignore prenups if they're deemed "unfair".
#82 to #12 - baconfattie (11/22/2015) [-]
You know that in many countries if a woman says that the prenup is unfair the prenup will be ignored and the guy still has to pay?
#78 to #12 - robuntu (11/22/2015) [-]
Listen up kids - this is why you don't take legal advice from anonymous people on the internet. At least in the US, this is wrong.

A prenuptial agreement will not prevent anything depicted in this cartoon. Child custody/child support can not be decided in the prenup. And that's the thing that's most likely to ruin your life because of the biases our society/courts have that say women are better parents than men.

Depending on which state you live in, you can't even agree on alimony in a prenup.

Beyond that, prenups get thrown out *all the time*.

I recently got married. No prenup.

It's not the divorce that ***** you. It's the crazy bitch you married. I didn't marry a crazy bitch. Now, if we were to divorce would she take my **** ? Possibly. But her friends, family, and loved ones who has welcomed me into their lives wouldn't let her destroy mine, even if she wanted to, which she wouldn't.

Most women tend to be this thing called independent. Since you spend all of your time on the internet you think independent means crazy fat bitch that takes advantage of men and is just a lazy whore.

Get off the internet. Meet some real people. The internet, SJW's, and all that ******** rarely, if at all, exists in the real world.
#81 to #71 - robuntu (11/22/2015) [-]
Not gonna lie, I dated the most sane and rational girl ever. She was a software engineer, we met in college. Totally cool chick. Totally independent. Wanted to split everything 50/50.

We moved in together and dated for almost four years. Then I broke up with her, as I felt like weren't really marriage material, but we were getting old and I basically wanted to move on.

Then she went ******* crazy. As in she started yelling and screaming, refusing to let me take anything out of our apartment. She called the police and swore to them, up and down, that everything in the apartment was 100% hers, except for my clothes and my laptop.

This was right after college so really, all I had was my PS3/stack of games/TV/desk/and some pots and pans (most of the kitchen stuff was hers).

Anyway, the cops were dicks and since my name wasn't on the lease (despite having lived there for the last three years) they basically told me I needed to go or I'd be arrested. They told me I could file a claim or something and sue her to get my belongs.

Two days later she texts me, trying to get back together. I told her I thought it was a bad idea, and then like four hours later she sends me a picture of all my stuff in a dumpster.

So yeah, she was independent and all that. She had job and could buy her own TV/PS3/whatever. But once I dumped her, she went crazy and became super, super, vindictive. She trashed my stuff, just so she could. She did a few other crazy things after that - mostly just spreading lies and rumors about me. How I was a terrible boyfriend, how she kicked me out, how I was emotionally abusive. And she put a bunch of this on Facebook, and yeah, dudes and chicks were posting on there saying things like, 'You deserve so much better' and 'You're so brave!'

If we would have had kids, I'm 100% sure she'd have used them to hurt me emotionally and financially.



#324 to #81 - vymastenaochechula ONLINE (11/25/2015) [-]
the trick is to start acting like a bad boyfriend until she breaks up with you and then act really sad...she won'be emotional because she was dumped, and you'll get your things back
#92 to #81 - Penn (11/22/2015) [-]
...sounds like you were with a crazy bitch.
Plus, you were just dating. Doesn't matter how long it is. I got married. Her family and my family are now one. Neither of them would let her act like that. And, if she did, she would probably be disowned.
#95 to #92 - robuntu (11/23/2015) [-]
Sure, but until we broke up, she didn't show any signs of being crazy. I lived with her for years, she was never mean or vindictive. She was rarely emotional at all. She was well educated, had a good job, was a completely reasonable person.

Yeah - you can say every guy who gets taken to the cleaners in a divorce married 'a crazy chick'....but what I'm saying is - you have no way of knowing. This was the most calm, level headed girl I've ever dated, and I was with her *for years* - not just casually dating, but *living together*.

And she wasn't a crazy bitch until after I dumped her.

It's great that you think your families are one and all that jazz - and that her side wouldn't let her attack you. But, clearly, given the number of divorces that turn into a nightmare, we know that this is the minority. It's also worth saying, until you've been through a divorce with her family, you can't really know.

I'd bet $500, if she hit herself in the face then went to her parents and said you hit her - they wouldn't treat you like a son anymore.
#99 to #95 - Penn (11/23/2015) [-]
No, they wouldn't...

But, she wouldn't do that. Because she's not a crazy bitch.

Don't get me wrong. I completely understanding what you're saying. But when your wife is an adult, has her own practice/business, and has means of taking care of herself then she's not just gonna walk into work and be like "Yeah I burned all of my husband's stuff because he decided to divorce me" and think that nothing will happen.

In your scenario (no offense) it sounds like a young college girl having a tantrum. No functional, independent, sane woman would hit themselves and say that they're husband did it.
#104 to #99 - robuntu (11/23/2015) [-]
Also - same deal with the people who are married 20+ years and then one of them catches the other cheating.

Right before that happens, they all say, 'My spouse would never do that!'
#221 to #104 - mindsailor (11/23/2015) [-]
This Penn dude is so naive it's unbelievable.
#102 to #99 - robuntu (11/23/2015) [-]
Umm - this chick was an adult. Owning a business or not is irrelevant; she had a very well paying job. She wasn't working at McDonalds, she was a working professional with a masters degree in computer science.

No, she's not going to talk into work and say she burned my stuff - she's going to walk into work and say that she kicked me out because I was abusive and threw out my stuff. And everyone is going to believe her and tell her how great she is for doing it. Or ya know, just not mention it to her coworkers.

You say your wife isn't a crazy bitch. My point is, you can't know - until you divorce her.

There are tons and tons of married guys who said, 'My wife isn't like that' - right until their wives took them to the cleaners in a divorce.
User avatar #128 to #102 - zenler (11/23/2015) [-]
wait so to tell if a potential wife is crazy, u just break up with her before hand and if she doesn't go crazy, she's good

#120 to #102 - Penn (11/23/2015) [-]
Yeah... you're probably right.

I just divorced my wife to see if you were right. Like 5 seconds ago. Dude... crazy bitch.
#63 to #12 - critizer (11/22/2015) [-]
You talking about your country and if so which one exactly. I really don't know how it's dealt with where i live.
User avatar #59 to #12 - shinycharizard (11/22/2015) [-]
Except that in court, the womens attorney can say she signed the prenup under duress, and therefore it doesn't count.

If you seriously think that divorce court isn't heavily tipped in the womens favor, then there's no helping you.
#41 to #12 - anon (11/22/2015) [-]
Eh, those can get thrown out by a judge for really any reason.

The real solution is not not marry a crazy bitch in the first place. The man ruined his life in the first panel by being a passive little bitch. How can somebody be THAT ******* passive in a relationship? It pisses me off just about as much as the bitches out there who pull this business.

YOU'RE A GODDAMN MAN, STOP ACTING LIKE A 15 YEAR OLD GIRL, DAMN. WHO CARES IF SHE'S GOT A NICE RACK AND AN ASS THAT COULD KNOCK OUT TYSON, BITCH IS CRAZY AND IT'D BE ******* OBVIOUS FROM THE FIRST DATE IF YOU'D STOP BEING A PUSSY HUNGRY PRETEEN BITCH.
#97 to #41 - robuntu (11/23/2015) [-]
Meh - I dated a girl *for years*. We lived together too. She showed no signs of being a bitch, or crazy, or a crazy bitch; until I broke up with her. She wanted to get married, I didn't. Up until that point, she was always a reasonable person.

After I told her it wasn't working out, she turned crazy.

Your solution doesn't solve the problem. Very few guys marry a crazy bitch and think, 'Well, she's crazy a f***, but I don't care'. It's not until the marriage ends that everyone realizes how crazy they are.
User avatar #23 to #12 - pokemonstheshiz (11/22/2015) [-]
A) Prenups can be thrown out sometimes
B) Those have nothing to do with what happens to the kids. Also does not prevent the mom from lying about you
User avatar #16 to #12 - etfhan (11/22/2015) [-]
I wouldn't mind seeing a law pass which requires it. But as things stand now, demanding one can cause problems. It can offend a future spouse, because they think 1) this shows a lack of trust, 2) it's offensive because "no way could our perfect marriage end", and I am sure there are more reasons I'm not the best when it comes to how people feel .
User avatar #60 to #16 - dorg (11/22/2015) [-]

User avatar #19 to #16 - kyoutu ONLINE (11/22/2015) [-]
If you can't talk about a prenup then the couple shouldn't be getting married, they're obviously not that close.

If you're dumb enough to marry someone you can't even talk to then you deserve everything you get.
#98 to #19 - robuntu (11/23/2015) [-]
A prenup really doesn't help though. It's not the magic bullet solution people think it is.

Get married with a prenup. Have kids. Bam - you are in the same situation as someone without a prenup. She can still win custody of the children. She'll still get child support. She can still bad mouth you to the children/lie about why you aren't there.

#240 to #98 - skebaba (11/23/2015) [-]
In divorce cases, the kids should decide with whom they are going with. This way you can prevent them from going to the abusing person or the one who isn't as supportive of them. It affects the kids most, so it's obvious they should decide. Of course the parents can decide whether or not they want to take the kids, but if both are willing to take them, the kids should decide.
#321 to #240 - robuntu (11/24/2015) [-]
Maybe kids *should* decide. But they don't.

As children get older and older the courts will consider their opinion more and more; but children don't get to decide. Especially young children.
User avatar #100 to #98 - kyoutu ONLINE (11/23/2015) [-]
That's cool and all but not really the point I was making if you read this thread.
User avatar #22 to #19 - ninjabadger ONLINE (11/22/2015) [-]
It's akin to asking a friend if you can trust him to do something for you and he replies "Don't worry about it."

Then when he doesn't do the thing he tells you it ain't his problem since he never promised anything. He's an ass, but on technicality he's on the moral high ground. And that's ******** .

Trust is a very fickle thing and if you don't think people will screw you over for their own goals then you're naive. With how ****** marriage has become nowadays, if you can't get a prenuptial agreement then you should not rush into it. All this "feminist" stuff going around doesn't help for the guys side of things either.
User avatar #28 to #22 - kyoutu ONLINE (11/22/2015) [-]
I totally agree. I wasn't arguing otherwise. I was simply making a point of people getting married should be able to talk about stuff or they shouldn't be getting married.
User avatar #45 to #28 - ninjabadger ONLINE (11/22/2015) [-]
I was also agreeing with you, just putting it in a different perspective.

It's just 10x worse when you do something like that for something much more serious like marriage. That **** doesn't fly.

Also like you should have trust in your partner to agree to a prenuptial when yall talk about it. If the first response is distrust from either party, then there's a problem there (like you said).

Marriage should be about love nowadays, and having kids I guess.
#20 to #19 - iexs (11/22/2015) [-]

User avatar #283 to #20 - emiyashirou (11/23/2015) [-]
If you actually trust each other, it's a far better choice to have a pre-nuptial contract. It would have no downsides, and it would have the upside that if one of you went bankrupt, the other could still keep his/her assets.
#218 to #20 - elky (11/23/2015) [-]
That's how real life work. My aunt had a company selling USB, one of her client for many years one day asked her to ship a large amount of merchandise to him in advance to his payment that month. Aunt did so and the guy took the stuff and disappeared. Now her whole family are in serious debt, would've loose their house too if her husband's siblings didn't help them pay out a small chunk.

tl:dr everyone could eventually **** on that trust you put in them, better safe than sorry.

You said if a couple can't talk about a prenup, they shouldn't get married, which I agree with.

Then you said, "If you're dumb enough to merry someone you can't talk to, you deserve everything you get."

So what are you implying by saying "You deserve everything you get"?
User avatar #77 to #24 - captchakid ONLINE (11/22/2015) [-]
How are you so air headed to miss the point?

If you can't even speak to your partner about something personal, there is no reason for you to be getting married. Thats the point kyoutu was making, youre just stretching it out for no reason at all.

I'm not stretching it out, and I'm not saying it's smart to get married when you can't talk to your wife, it's idiotic, but doing something stupid doesn't mean you deserve to get your life ruined.

Not

"If you don't get a prenup you deserve everything you get"

Depends on what you class as "life ruined". It's subjective.

and yes, what do you expect by marrying someone you can't even talk to?
User avatar #33 to #31 - iexs (11/22/2015) [-]
I guess getting your kids, house, and property taken away counts.
