I was wondering how you got the 40x figure. My assumption was that in 2013 you guys had a garage sale and she made $150 and you used that as her salary.

Christ I will stay out of this thread. I was married at 20 and am still very happy, so yes it did change my life and I can be pretty naive about it since my parents and my parents-in-law were both married young and have successful marriages as well. I know some marriages are shit and some people are just not meant for it. Just got the shitty news that my uncle had been cheating on my aunt throughout their entire marriage and their kids found out about the recent coworker he had been seeing for two years last month and had to tell her. So yeah, I get it, not everyone is meant for marriage. Some want it, some don't. Some are just as happy without marriage, etc.

This thread gets so off track, so fast. >_<
Wife found a place to rent today, she can move in Sunday. I have the next 13 days off work (Other than 98 Macbook airs I have here at my house that I need to install crap on, blarg), and she has the next 9 days off, so it's pretty much the perfect time to pack the whole house up and get her moved out.
Everything is going exactly according to plan so far, so really happy about that.
I filed the initial paperwork on the 13th, and she went with me so I could immediately serve her in front of the courthouse notary. I have to wait 21 days for her to "fail" to respond before I can file the next step, so that will fall on Jan 3rd, next Friday.
All in all, I'm very pleased with everything. I am paying just under $400 for the actual divorce to the courts, $1250 to set her up with a new place to live, and the court should order $250 a month in child support according to the online calculator. In addition, I'm keeping just under $15,000 in debt after all is said and done. I will also have to completely refurnish the house, as I believe I will be left with only a futon, and major kitchen appliances as far as practical things go.
BUT, for all of that sacrifice, I keep my fantastic house, and no one walks away upset at all. I can honestly give two shits about any of the furniture and "things" leaving. I like change. Having a big ass empty house will make doing some home improvement projects I've thought about for a long time super convenient. See you later carpet, Tile's moving in!
I know I'm going to be in for some rough times and all, but I think, more than anything, I just feel so relieved and excited to be able to do whatever I want, live anyway I want. Everyone in my life is offering up words of sympathy and support, tiptoeing around like someone died, but I have to admit, I feel exactly the opposite.

I've always thought the same - no couple that is happy and wants to stay together gets divorced. Divorces should be met with as much or more happiness and joy as a wedding brings. Glad to hear its going well, have fun bangin' 20 year olds again!

Well yeah, but happiness isn't static. It's an ongoing process. Happy people can get bitter, good relationships can turn sour over time. It's something you have to actively pursue. None of us know exactly what the future holds and someone who fulfills you to every extent today may make you miserable 1 year from now. Marriage is a leap of faith regardless of how long you've been with someone.

I disagree. If there's a big disparity in wealth/assets between the couple getting married, having a pre-nup in place can avoid a lot of really ugly litigation should the marriage ever go to shit. No marriage is 100% guaranteed to work, it's a good idea to contemplate things not working out prior to tying the actual knot. Pre-nups don't have to be entirely one sided, and in fact, will stand up much better to legal challenge if they're reasonably well balanced.
I'm still not sure if I'm sold on the whole marriage thing (I tend to agree that it seems somewhat pointless if you don't intend on having kids, and I'm not sure if I want kids), but if I ever do cross that bridge, I'm about 90% sure that I will have a pre-nup in place because I've got a lot of pre-marriage assets that I would want to protect.

Your girl will decide for you, Big Moosejockey. She will eventually inform you of what her decision is. Lets be realistic. That's how it usually is and there aint nothing wrong with that. Normally men are perfectly happy to shack up and get the milk for free. Lotta women are just fine with it as well, but a lot of women need more than that.

How many people in here that have been married have gotten a prenup? I would imagine most women would be against it as most women appear to make less than men, especially if they don't work at all.
