[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally financial and legal. When women can work and don’t need men to provide for them, there’s zero reason to entangle yourself with legal marriage. I can see myself in a long-term partnership, but I would never enter into a legal arrangement that gives a man a right to my pension, 401k and other assets. I suppose you can write up a pre-nup to take care of those things but I’m really not interested in fighting off the law in that way. Live together, maybe even purchase a home together? Sure. Beyond that, no. [/quote]

I wonder how much assets people have to think that way. I’ll have over $5mm by 50. Still would remarry with prenup, it’s not that difficult or expensive to draft. Kids inheritances, alimony, pensions - all this can be easily addressed there [/quote]

Because someone can always argue that the prenup should be invalidated. And I have zero reason to get the state involved in my financial life. I’m not a blushing bride combining finances to create a family. I’m a person with my own assets. Depending on how things go, over years/decades, it may make sense to combine assets with a partner piece by piece, like buying a home together. But zero possibility of me letting the law decide.
