Looks like we'll be continuing the conversation without Craig then! Mark

I was thinking the same thing. Congratulations, indeed! These days, less than half of all marriages make it this far. Let's just hope she doesn't decide to leave you. Mark

Didn't you say a few weeks ago you'd do the same? Mark

So what you're saying is that you wouldn't provide your children with a thing if you kept some of the assets? Your kids would only have the best if your wife got everything? Tell you what, you ever get divorced, let me know. We can get hitched, adopt some kids and you can start over again a...

Welcome to the phenomenon that is crc_error, wylie. Mark

Well in that case, no hard feelings! Mark

So I agree with you and cop a backhand. Nice one. Mark

I agree with you. Only in the most extreme circumstances do people walk out of a divorce relatively unscathed. This is if you don't take the children into account, of course. Mark

Sounds fair to me too. But you can't control your wife's decisions in the future. One day she's happy as Larry, the next she wants your balls on the chopping block, if for no other reason than 'she's not happy'. This will of course, be your fault.... Mark

And you want to do it all over again? Mark

I found a great quote the other day on another forum, from a Jay-Z song (had to google it). It's one of the young ladies' signature who posts there. Reading this thread reminds of it everytime. I won't post it, cause it's a bit naughty (well, by this forum's namby pamby standards). Mark

I was listening to a comedian one time and they said in relation to divorce: "I don't see the point in getting married. Why not just find someone you hate, buy them a house and save 7 years of your life." Also, I was watching telly last night and on some show the guy said that married men live...

Based on this information, I don't see how marriage for a person bringing significantly more assets to the table is a worthwhile venture. Mark

Blargh! I had the 'right partner' then it all just fell apart. Being single makes for a much much much less complicated life. Mark

Hey Y-Man, I'm guessing Singo never heard of that theory - he's on his sixth marriage! Or just got divorced for the sixth time or something. Mark

Hey LAA, I've heard that one before a few times. It's not the marriage bit that worries me, it's the divorce bit that is frightening. Mark

Anita, Hahaha, maybe you're rght! No like I've said before, I'm quite happy living alone and with my trainwreck of a personality, I don't think I've got much choice *wink*. Mark

Woah woah! I didn't say that. I don't know the particulars of the exact story. All I know is that one person had a house that they had fully paid off stolen from them under the full support of the Family Court by their ex-spouse for the express 'privilege' of having been married to that person...

Did I? Can you point out where I did that, thanks. Mark

Wylie, I would just like to point out here that you turned this into a man vs woman thing. As far as I'm concerned, protecting assets from an ex partner is not gender specific. My view is pertinent to both men and women with substantial assets entering into a marriage contract. Mark
