How do you protect your collection before you get married? Divorce can kill a hobby!

[grphyx1]

this is a depressing chain of thought.

 

[DarthNeil]

when you find somebody worth marrying ... you'll know you have nothing to worry about with your collection.

Exactly (said the guy who's celebrating anniversary #8 in two months and whose collection continues to grow exponentially with every passing day/announcement).

 

[Kabukiman]

Well if you go into a relationship that worried about if it's gonna fail, I think you should rethink getting married.

This.

don't get married

If you go through a divorce, I honestly figure protecting your toys will be among your lesser concerns ... so I wouldn't worry that much about it. Aside from the emotional devistation, there are typically much more valuable assets to argue over ... not to mention custody of children.

Don't lose a good girl because you're scared she'll make off with your comic book collection ... and if you're gonna marry a lousy girl, then your comic book collection is the least of your worries.

Well, personally, I have to disagree with most who say you may not be ready. If one is practical, and looks at the current divorce rate in this country, and realizes that you're only half of the equation and don't have any control over what may happen in the future, it is a legitimate concern to think about your collection and possessions. If everybody on this planet could actually be trusted, all you would have to do is make your wishes known to the other person and both agree on what will happen if the "worst" comes to pass; however, most people can't be trusted to stick to that kind of agreement, especially during a divorce, so protecting yourself and your items isn't necessarily a selfish thing to do... just a wise thing to do. And for you naysayers, show me where it is written that just because two people fall in love that it will last forever and those same two people won't fall out of love in the future. Thinking like that is just sentimentality and not really based on fact.

Why get married if not for sentimentality?

I kept everything in my divorce. My ex didnt want any of my crap

Same here.

Exactly! Mankind "invented" the institution of marriage, and there is nothing to say whether it is right, wrong or even needed. Unfortunately, the "majority" have set the rules, so most people "have to get married" to "satisfy" governments, religion and family.

And she also told me I wouldn't be able to survive without her.

Hi honey! New car, new women, and I'm currently packing to move into a house that I just bought. Guess I couldn't take care of myself after all.

Yeah, suck it

Good to hear you're doing great Keith.

 

[IrishJedi]

This is really pretty simple. If she's "The One" then you don't even have to think about a possible future split and her taking half of your collection.

But even more simple than that... Hypothetically, if you wouldn't trade your collection and material possessions for her RIGHT NOW then the relationship isn't even real in the first place. The fact that you're even thinking this way is probably more telling than you know.

Thanks Chase! Things have been most triumphant!

Same here. I even got the house!

But she did take my favorite blender, dammit.

I think I lost a vacum. LOL!

She needs that vacuum MUCH more than you do at this point.
