you know.... i hate to bring this up, but they are Catholic, and in the Catholic church the only reason they give for marriage is to have children.

wow...that is fvcking sad as hell.

tom leykis rules: NO, dont ever do it. If you do sign an iron clad pre nup .. but most likely this woman is looking for Childsupport and an easy life.

Then why get married? She could just have unsafe sex, and go from there. As for the pre nup, that's for people who have something to lose. This guy is broke.

fast forward to now, 2 kids, still together, and they bicker like an old, married couple.

Lol, somehow,that doesn't sound like a pleasant way to spend one's life.

it could work out, some marriages are little more than arragments and everyone is happy becuase ignorance is bliss. She could also grow to love him in time especially once the baby arrives, but she could also grow to hate him
tough call
if i did it wouldn't be with just anyone
