but the fact that you cohabitated before getting married means you are much more llkely to get divorced.

Also depends spidey. The problem with cohabitation then marriage is that people have a problem turning off that "I can leave whenever I want" mindset. I forget where I saw the stat but being engaged then living together doesn't have that kind of screw-up a marriage potential.

Congratulations! Glad to hear things went so well with the dad, and the proposal sounded really sweet and romantic. Don't let the naysayers rain on your parade. Best of luck to you and the Mrs. to be. :thumbsup:

All you sad prenup trolls should STFU

Sorry, don't believe in that. To me that says you think there is a chance the marriage will not work out. If that is the way someone feels then they shouldn't be getting married in the first place.

Besides, neither of us have that much. What is she going to take, my Adidas?

Prenup isn't for now, it's for then.
What happens when you buy a house together, she leaves you, and takes the kids AND the house AND your car, and leaves you with nothing?
I assume that you do want to have a house/car/kids in the future?
I refuse to go into this with thoughts that it could fail. In my mind if you have those kind of questions in your head then you aren't ready to get married.

Already own a house, already have cars, no kids yet though. If something were to happen and we split up then so be it

:confused:

Your loss naive man.

you might be ready, but she might get bored and find another man

Like there was ever any question. ;)

We did the rerun of our first date. Went to the little Mom & Pop place, then to the bowling alley. I headed for this city park that is full of flowers, beautiful trees, and has a waterfall that is about 75 feet or more tall. It is beautiful. When we got there she said "we didn't come here on our first date." I said I knew that but I wanted to start a new tradition. We walked through the park until we came to the waterfall, which by the way is lit up at night, and that is when I dropped to one knee. Told her how much she meant to me, not going into detail here, and asked her.

Best night of my life.


EXCELLENT! Congrats man... welcome to slavery with the rest of us:)
