I think it's hilarious that people still fall for it. I feel even better, because I'm only 18, and I know better than people twice my age that marriage is nothing but a scam that rapes people in the wallet. No woman will ever get her hands on my money, though, because I will never be stupid enough to marry. Even if I did somehow f up and get married, no woman would have the balls to take me in a divorce because I'd throw her in a dumpster.

hahahahah, I hope you come back to this site in 5 years and read your posts

YOU ARE ONLY 18. Wait until you meet the right girl. She will sweep you off your feet.

At 18 you can't have witnessed much truth when it comes to marriages. Come back in a few years after the top head takes over the thought process and the bottom head no longer controls your words, thoughts and actions.

What is he thinking, honestly? He's asking for trouble. Why bother?
No, don't think your co worker is in trouble. It is kind of comical that he is marrying a divorce lawyer and I think he was just making light of the whole situation. Probably just nervous about getting married. I think if I was going to marry a divorce lawyer I would have to think about the "what ifs" and that is probably just what he is doing. Once he is married and living the life, he probably will be ok. It is kind of comical when you think about it...enjoy his humor and his wedding.

18 -- still a baby.

Look at it this way Tony -- your friend is smart -- very, very smart. He's hooked himself a lawyer. Soon (if not already) she will be made partner in her firm. Then he's on easy street. He can divorce her and be taken care of the rest of his life! You are aware the laws work both ways aren't you?

My advice to you is to take a page from your friend's book and start looking for a smart, sharp, professional career driven woman that makes the big bucks and then cash in your lottery ticket.

See? Marriage is looking more and more attractive now isn't it?

18? You are way too young to make a decision about marriage. I was once young and I said I would never get married. BAM! My wife comes along and knocks me off my feet.

oh- you're 18? (like we couldn't tell that from your nugget of wisdom above.) -Pray tell- just where does an 18 year old work where someone who is marrying a divorce lawyer tomorrow is a co-worker with you? Would you like fries with that?

Wow, such a high quality person.
