[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems there are many threads about women being screwed over when a relationship falls apart or a divorce happens.

I'm suggesting a you really need to do this, or watch out for this thread where you share experiences or tips if you're a professional that can help women if shit hits the fan.

1. Preferably never share finances, have a joint account to which you both contribute to pay household expenses. 
2. If either of you has money, have a prenup that protects you.
3. Don't live with a man in his house. It's either in both your names, or you have your own place with your own name on it. Never contribute finances without your name on the property.

I am a man who has been through a divorce, and I just want to say all this advice applies equally to both sexes.

There is NO reason not to follow #1 & #2, even if you are in the best relationship ever.

#3 also applies - guys, don't live in "her place" either.  This is really super-important even if you both have places: get rid of "your" place(s) and get a place that belongs to both of you - that way nobody is "taking over" or feels they have "I was here first" rights.

A marriage is a partnership of equals.  [/quote]
