Affairs of the heart…

Is he being considerate, charming, and fun? If yes, why isn’t that enough while you get to know each other? Maybe the lack of a ‘nicer’ date is really a need for some romance? What if he showed up with flowers for a ‘less-nice’ date, or a book he thought you might enjoy? Would that be enough? If not, IMO you’re just looking to enjoy someone else’s money.

The pre-nup conversation does seem odd though, if not brought up in another context (as someone else mentioned). I have a pre-nup, so it wouldn’t bother me, but it’s sorta like the guy who says ‘I love you’ on the second date. Yikes.

As an aside, pre-nups are also good for protecting your assets within a marriage. My husband was in a liability-prone occupation when we married, and we didn’t want my owned-prior-to-marriage house (our home) open to someone going after him. We both have appropriate insurance, but the extra protection is nice.

As a woman, I get very irritated w/other women who claim to be “modern” and independent and self-reliant yet, when it is to their advantage, expect the “old-fashioned” perks of having a man pay for everything…

oh, and marion, trust me my comments are not motivated by jealousy or difficulty getting a date…I am in a long term relationship, make over 100K a year and DO NOT judge my friends/relationships by how much they are willing to spend on me…

Take him up to 40,000 feet and drop him Marion. He won’t talk that pre-nup stuff anymore.

akbar, thank you. I am glad someone spoke up.

Marion, I don’t think that you are stupid as akbar so eloquently does, but I do think that you are on a hunt for attention/validation and I can’t understand why this is the forum you chose to flash around your sexy posts tinged with vulnerability. I appreciate your previous posts about housing matters but this is not a Dr. Phil blog, nor a substitute for the advice of a few decent girlfriends. It seems to me that you crave male attention of all forms, didn’t you say that this problem is occurring with ONE of the men you are dating? So move on to the next guy, that’s the benefit of dating. If you need someone local to go get a drink with and talk things out, let me know and we can meet up, but I come here to learn from people wiser and more savy than me who are willing to share their finance and housing knowledge. If I wanted to read dating drama I would click over to Dr. Laura’s website.
