OK. This is my last word on the subject. You don't need a pre-nup. Have a kid. The only thing that kept my parents together was the fact that I was their kid. Neither of them wanted me, so they stayed together because neither one wanted to be stuck with custody of me. Nuff said... :)))
Pitchka, dear...
I never said there is not romance in marriage...quite the opposite. Romance is and has always been one of the main reasons why a couple considers getting married.
What I oppose vehemently is the concept that "love is the ONLY thing" needed to have a succesful marriage....That is a crock.
Love goes 'poof' in the west if the couple does not practice basic financial common sense and family planning.
The stats do not lie, Pitchka.
Problems with sex and/or money are the two reasons why over 60% of first marriages fail in the US, at least....for 2nd marriages is over 80%.
I'm not a sex therapist, but I have been a financial planner for over 25 years and I know why people have the money problems that ruin their marriages.
It's not lack of love, it's lack of financial responsibility that kills the love in many cases.
This is just the way it is, don't kill the messenger (moi) for it..
GLTALLTOAD- I have come to the conclusion that you love to open cans of worms. LOL. Not a bad thing as it gives everyone a chance to voice their opinions on debatable and highly argumentative topics. What's next? I'm getting burned out on this one.
Nobody else could have described it better, mate.
I do opening up subjects that have diametrically opposing views, except religion. It is a faith issue and faith is an emotion, therefore one cannot discuss the 'facts' of it. Only what we individually consider a fact or not.....and it gets so messy, anyways, lol.
I'll come up with a new one when I'm done arguing about this one.
Frankly, I did not expect it would cause such outrage among some of the self annointed forum leaders.
Some men get so...er....'emotional'.
The vast majority of topics discussed in the forum are informative, inmensily helpful with specific tips to understand what the hell is going on with FSU in general and FSU women in particular.
I notice that you have a tendancy to read only the TITLE of each thread. And that is all you comment on - not the actual contents.
Is that becasue you are a typically lazy western female? Is it because you are an opinionated feminazi? Or is ti because you are too fat to move your mouse around and click on the other pages?
but Ptichka supports my view that PRE-NUP Agreements are like business treaties.
and western men are trying to defend getting what they want without sharing.
Search the web for a "Swedish Troll Forum" and post your picture and your ad. If I should decide that I'm interested in an obnoxious, opinionated, feminist troll - I'll regiter and if our profiles match - I'll write to you.
Now why don't you run along and find the "Swedish Trolls Forum" and I'll maybe be along in a minute. But don't hold your breath. Actually.... hold your breath... okay?

"one of a race of supernatural beings"
must have been involved when a Sovjet submarine stranded on the east coast some years ago - the captain would not have done that without supernatural 'help'.
PS are you trying to lead us away from the topic??
this is what you say to her when you want a pre-nup men, honey it is not that i am worried about what i have toiled for before i met you, i just want you to protect everything that belongs to you before we met.
I don't want a pre nup, but I can understand any western bloke who has been fleeced by someone in his own country, by female biased laws, to consider having one....my own reason why I do not want one is a) a pre nup is not compatible with takeing a vow of till death us do part B) it admits the possibility of failure before you start.
tradman,
the only thing that is guarenteed in life at least in america is death and taxes. no shit, you dont want to marry an american women. just about every man i know says the best thing that ever arised from his marriage was his children. almost all men i know say they will never do it again , seriously. i have plenty of friends with above middle class earnings paying out huge sums of money to a women he would rather see dead. they never see their paychecks because his wages go straight to the whore before he gets anything via the government and is left is just enough to sustain life for him when she is quite capable of working after the split. most men i know are scared shitless of their wives over here. there is a saying, it is cheaper to stay married and be miserable than to be single and divorced.

I agree completely JM, thats what I was saying, I can understand it, that is the whole reason I am marrying a wonderful girl from Moldova and why I am not signing a pre nup. now if I was marrying an american I would, the same applies for a British woman, although pre nup has no legal validity in Britain
they do not work in America either if you bring a woman from Russia with nothing and create a wonderful life for her if you divorce and have a prenup instead of a cash settkement of half your worth the judge recognizes the prenup he just orders you to pay spousal support at some astronomical monthly rate that over a life time breaks the bank. One Kiss and goodbye!
