Re: pre-nups – as some commentators pointed out on this other Dr. Helen post, pre-nups often turn out not to be worth the paper they’re printed on.
But I digress… I’m 37, straight and single by choice, with no regrets. So far I’ve yet to catch any grief over it, but then that probably has a lot to do with my knack for staying off most women’s radar. I originally chose this lifestyle as a harmless form of youthful rebellion, but over the years as I’ve observed relatives, friends and coworkers get shafted in marriage and divorce, it’s occurred to me that I made the right choice, even though I had no idea at the time just how right it was.
If you’re happily married, consider yourself lucky. Today marriage is a high-stakes gamble at best, except that it’s not just your money at risk but also your happiness and sanity. You’ll probably have better luck going to Vegas and plunking down $10K to enter the World Series of [a certain card game that will likely send the spam filters into high gear if I mention it by name]. And even if you bust out there, at least you’re only losing your money.
