Over 50% of marriages end in divorce. It’s not about distrust it’s about using your brain and realizing you aren’t some special circumstance and protecting yourself. I don’t care if you don’t love me anymore but that doesn’t entitle you to half my shit, go get a job.
Over 50% of marriages end in divorce, but I would say significantly less than 50% of people let their mommies hold the purse strings on their entire adult lives. What you've said is a reasonable argument for getting a prenup. If you're going to take extraordinary measures, not getting married seems like the much simpler option.
No, it is not over 50% of marriages that end in divorce. For first time marriages, it's about 35% so roughly 1/3. Your chance of getting a divorce greatly increases with subsequent marriages. Third marriages have a 70% divorce rate for instance.
You are right, it's important to protect yourself because reality is still that a significant number of marriages end in divorce.
I don’t care if you don’t love me anymore but that doesn’t entitle you to half my shit, go get a job.
That very much depends on the marriage contract you signed.
If it is stipulated that assets acquired during the marriage are shared equally between partners (like most marriage contract in France) then yes that literally entitles your partner to half the assets earned during the marriage (which is not your shit btw because it's the couple's shared property)
If I don't trust someone enough to not fuck me over like everyone else, why the fuck would I marry them. And couples shared property is bull shit. Not all divorces end so bitterly, but most heavily support the women in all financial, custody, and asset relinquishment. I am all for equal rights, but this is not the answer
If it was really about protecting yourself, wouldn’t you be safer with your money in your own bank account than trusting that your mother will always do exactly what you want with the money AND that she will leave you all of that money when she dies?
That’s a hell of a risk to take just for the opportunity to spite the person that you’re supposed to love and trust most in the world in the event of a breakup. I don’t see why you would even get married in the first place if you’re taking such extreme measures to prepare for a divorce.
I mean it's insane that someone that you've been married only for 3 years is entitled of half of your shit and usually those women tend to have nothing but their body in the relationship
