Enough to end it?

[Journey]

Hey everyone,
Thanks so much for your replies. Sorry I have been away for while. I'm in Vancouver and own a house worth a mill. Its in the west side and a nice walk to the beach. I also have rrsps, stocks, bmw, vintage car, and a sweet pension. I live in the house by myself with my little dog.
Thats pretty good for a guy my age (just over 30). There's more to come - My Dad passed away and I'm entitled to even more. My Mom also did sweet for herself and she's worth even more than my Dad.
According to BC law she would be entitled to everything as long as its used by both of us during the marriage. That includes even my pension.
My parents did it all by themselves too. I just don't want a divorce to enable her to take half, walk away, and use my money to start a life with some other putz.
Misombra you are sooo awesome! Don't you think Misombra, that she needs to listen to the Journey song..."Any way you want it ...that's the way you need it ... any way you want it......."

It doesn't sound to me like you are good marriage material.

hahahahaha. Vashti, couldn't have said it better. I guess I'm a different breed, though.

Journey until that last statement you made, i was agreeing with you. Maybe you if phrased your last post better.

Maybe say, i trust her 100% now, but we will both change, and 20 years down the line bla bla bla.

In principle i like prenups for the reason that people change. I will gladly spend the rest of my life with the woman walking down the aisle in white. But we will both change over the years, and neither of us are the same person that signed the contract that day. Simple as that.

Ooooo i just thought of an excellent metaphor. It is sort of like the stock market. You could have bought stock in person XYZ and over the past year their stock has risen a lot, and they are a great thing to "invest" in. So you but stock in them (marriage) But then eventually their stock starts plummeting. You bought the stock with the expectation of it rising indefinetly, and you are getting something different that what you paid for.

ok...maybe that metaphor isnt that great. But it is...sort of the same.
