Re: Dope's prenup....
Personally, I'm not a fan of prenups. I would never engage in one nor would I ask my husband to.
But I find it interesting that on the other prenup thread, it seemed as if the girls who wouldn't sign were considered gold-diggers and prenups were seen as necessary. And on this one, prenups are seen as horrible.
In any case, I wish you well Dope. I hope you find someone who believes marriage to be more than just a business contract. It's a sad fact of our society that in many cases, as PCG stated, prenups are needed to protect women. I can understand the girl's parents' concerns and at the same time, I can see why you don't want to sign.
I don't know you, you may be a real sweet guy who would treat a women really well, not restrict her freedom, etc. But, there are a lot of guys out there who wouldn't and it's because of them that some people feel that the only way to protect their daughter is through the prenup.
In any case, May God help you find the right woman.
