Why are so many people on this site anti-marriage? I would like to get married one day, but when I read everyone negativism towards marriage I start to second guess myself. Any comments?

If she'll sign the prenup, go for it.

:thumbsup:

Personally I'm on the fence about marriage. I'm definitly not ready for it now... hell... my SO wants me to go with her to finish her PhD but I don't think I'm ready for that either... marriage or not.

In the end it's all about you and your SO, not what a bunch of virgins (or otherwise) on ATOT think.

because there is no positve side for a guy to get married.

none.
 
Many older people say not to get married; Any plans Sentinel? I refuse to get a divorce even if it meant me being miserable for my whole life. I think marriage is a one time thing, no way out sort of thing. I think forcing the wife to sign a prenup is a lack of trust and is out of the question.

for you, maybe.
 
I'm not too fond of marriage either. I understand those who support it if married to the right person, but I've been burned in the past by someone who I thought was "right". A breakup is one thing; a breakup and then losing all your stuff and half your retirement is another thing totally.

My girlfriend is moving in with me in about a month, and even that is pretty scary as far as I'm concerned. But I love her and we're great together so I don't forsee any issues.

Her NOT signing should be a sign that she's untrustworthy.
What reason would a woman have not to sign if she trully loved you?

AHAHAHAHA! Good luck pulling that off with the US Judicial system, especially if you had kids and she gets custody.

As for the rest... you could always just move in with your SO and not bother getting married. 😛

<--- Getting ready to divorce - MY choice

Sadly that site has a lot of truth on it.

I'm not 'anti-marriage'. I think marriage, as an idea, is wonderful and should be encouraged. However, you really need to try your best to make sure you marry someone that loves you and is marrying you ONLY because she loves you. Take a read through nomarriage.com and read the stories from men that thought they knew their wives until they married them.

Like it or not, most American women are more concerned with money, lying, and manipulation than actual love. There are good ones out there, but you gotta be really dedicated and somewhat lucky to find one.
