* You are biased and might be blinded by the love you hold for your partner, believing what you want to believe.
* Partner could possibly be a sociopath and thus very good at faking emotions
* Partner could be a conartist or foreign agent (see Anna Chapman)
* Partner could be faking it to get something she wants (money, citizenship, power, etc.), de facto conartist
* Partner might find someone she loves more than you after you are married
* Partner (or yourself) might make a "mistake" after marriage due to any number of circumstances

US Courts are also very biased in divorce cases, they almost always favor the wife (especially in custody battles for children). You will not get a fair division of wealth after a divorce.
 
The OP should re-start this thread

Actually... I'm beginning to think that there should be duplicate OPs for every thread. A HAL version and the non-HAL version. That way neckbeard can have his fun derailing a thread and the rest of us can have our usual, uninterrupted fun.

I'll grant you that's possible.

True. (it's called Anti-social personality disorder now, not sociopathy)

* Partner could be a conartist or foreign agent (see Anna Chapman)

That would be awesome, if that were a possibility, then I'd probably get one

* Partner could be faking it to get something she wants (money, citizenship, power, etc.), de facto conartist

True I suppose.

* Partner might find someone she loves more than you after you are married

If it's the same person it shouldn't effect how they view you, or your money etc.

* Partner (or yourself) might make a "mistake" after marriage due to any number of circumstances

:hmm: that boils down to my trust statement

This.

You can trust the person you married, but that doesn't mean they won't snap later or haven't been conning the whole time. IMO people really in love don't need a legal document stating the fact. I'll probably die alone because of my thoughts on it, but marriage IMO shouldn't be a given in our society. If it's part of your religion then it makes sense, but if it's not part of your belief system then it's nothing more than legal paperwork and a party. Why can't you have that ceremony without the legalities of it all?

The marriage contract is an important part of most societies. The "legalities" of the ceremony are a reflection of a particular society's customs not the cause of them. You and your partner are entirely welcome to have any relationship you want but, don't be surprised if the society you belong to shows it's disapproval in commentary and law.
 
aren't you that racist indan from P&N? thought ya'll traded cows, goats, and rocks as dowries?

2 questions:

1). do you really need a prenup for cows, goats, and rocks?
2). who the fuck would be stupid enough to marry you?

please do the needful and answer my questions.
 
Getting married legally at the end of the month, with the church ceremony in November. No, we won't be getting a prenup. Here's why:

1) No assets to protect. I highly doubt she'd want my '87 Chevy versus her own '07.
2) She likely will have more assets anyway, whether it be by future inheritances from her family or from her choice of profession.
3) She will be a lawyer once she passes the bar exam. Lets face it, I'd be screwed even with a prenup.
 
I thought that was The Pink Bean

He is a Pakistani, do not confuse an Indian with a Pakistani (or vice-versa) to their face, the reaction is worse than mistaking a New Zealander for an Australian or a Canadian with an American.

The way you put it I have to facetiously ask... why wouldn't SHE want a prenup?
