Nexus One Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Is this bad? It is for Cookie Monster lovers. Give your definition of your phobia though. Do you mean you don't want a serious LTR or do you just want to keep your own trash can to live in?
Jannah Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Can we mark a big "CP" on your forehead for which you must wear out in public?
Author MrNate Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 It is for Cookie Monster lovers. Give your definition of your phobia though. Do you mean you don't want a serious LTR or do you just want to keep your own trash can to live in? I think I'm drawn to him because of the simple fact that Sesame Street seemed like such a happy show, but I knew deep down Cookie Monster was miserable. So I guess it's the twisted humor that draws me.. lol. Hm. It's not really a phobia, but it's more like: "can i really stay with this girl for years? And I tend to associate marriage with 'contract'... I can't help but wonder, what leads to these types of thoughts?
O'Malley Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I'm a commitment-phobe.. Is this bad? Yes, when the woman controls access to the cookie jar.
30Years Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Hm. It's not really a phobia, but it's more like: "can i really stay with this girl for years? And I tend to associate marriage with 'contract'... My wife and I have discussed the fact that we asked ourselves that very question (can I stay with this person for years?) as late in the game as our wedding day. We've been married for 30 years. And for the record, marriage IS a contract.
Author MrNate Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Can we mark a big "CP" on your forehead for which you must wear out in public? Ah yes.. the ole 'scarlet letters'...lol.

USMCHokie Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Hahah, what?! You?! Was there something particular that happened that brought about this revelation...?
daphne Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I can't help but wonder, what leads to these types of thoughts? Fear of not being able to get out in case you picked a bad apple? Or fear of her taking everything with her in case you are able to get out...
Star Gazer Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Darn! I was hoping you were gonna say you were "Facebook official" - "In a Realtionship"!! Boooo!!!
Author MrNate Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Hahah, what?! You?! Was there something particular that happened that brought about this revelation...? Ok ok, wait haha. I wouldn't say I'm hopeless but I'm just scared of wasting my time..? (in the event things go south that is..) Man, this is not looking good for my street cred:laugh:

So I guess it's the twisted humor that draws me.. lol. Cookie Monster is a HAPPY monster!! His life is full of love and cookies!!
Author MrNate Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Fear of not being able to get out in case you picked a bad apple? Or fear of her taking everything with her in case you are able to get out... YES. I think these two are it. A part of it intrigues me, but another part deters me away. And it seems like every time I bring up prenups with friends or what not.. they think I'm crazy..Would signing a prenup really affect the foundation of a marriage? (trust, etc.?)
Nexus One Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Cookie Monster is a HAPPY monster!! His life is full of love and cookies!! Or he's trying to eat away his issues.
Author MrNate Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 Cookie Monster is a HAPPY monster!! His life is full of love and cookies!! Strong men also cry, Pink...
Shocking Pink Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Strong men also cry, Pink... Only because they're not monster puppets with endless supplies of chocolate chips Seriously, there is no crying on Sesame Street. The End. Maybe you need a My Little Pony avatar.

It depends on the two of you and your motivations. All you can do is tell the woman you are in love with her, but are afraid of the consequences if something were to happen. It's a hard pill for anyone to swallow, but if she really loves you, she'll hear you out. Keep in mind, there are a lot of ways to do a prenup. It's not all or nothing. Personally, I would not get married again without one. I had a bad, bad apple and I'm scared ****less of getting another. People can hide their true natures for very long periods of time. No reason for you to pay through the nose for it. And it's also something I listen for when I date. I once dated a guy who mentioned it and I enthusiastically agreed with him. His ex-wife took him to the cleaners. He wasn't chasing me off with the talk of a prenup.

Nexus One Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I'm sorry, what's your name again? You guys should go on a date. Have there ever been any LS couples by the way? Does anyone happen to know?
Author MrNate Posted February 11, 2011 Author Posted February 11, 2011 You guys should go on a date. Have there ever been any LS couples by the way? Does anyone happen to know? Hm.. the only one I know is CE and Pyro. Two of the most mentally healthy posters on LS. So maybe it was a given this would happen?
Duckduckgoose Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 And it seems like every time I bring up prenups with friends or what not.. they think I'm crazy..Would signing a prenup really affect the foundation of a marriage? (trust, etc.?) Signing a pre-nup saves your ASS in case of a divorce. You can put stipulations in there for cheating and everything. Like if you divorce she can't touch your (insert really awesome thing you've had forever and don't want to lose).
Duckduckgoose Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 My stbxH and I had a pre-nup and it saved my ass quite a bit... he seemed hellbent on wiping the apartment out when he left... I reminded him that there was a lot of things he couldn't touch. Didn't keep him from taking part of it anyway... but I got cash value for some/most of it. He got real petty too... like taking everything from the kitchen while I was getting a counsellor.

Divorce seems like such a nasty thing to go through, which is one of the main reasons why I would like one. I would just want something as emotionally troubling as that to just go as smoothly as possible.. if that makes sense.. lol.
