To clarify: when I made my comment about spouses stealing your assets through divorce, I was referring to people who get in relationships only because their partner is doing well financially so they can use them for money and what not. Yeah, if you put actual work into the relationship for an extended period of time, than you do deserve something out of it. If you are a gold digger, a user, or an abuser on the other hand, then you don't deserve a dime. This goes for both men and women.

Still though, one thing that has always rubbed me the wrong way with marriages is the whole asset merging thing. Because I'm an aspiring entrepreneur and what not, I would be especially vulnerable to gold diggers as I become more successful; especially since I become so damn lonely more often than I care to admit. I simply can't trust another human being enough to get married to them and give them that kind of potential power over me and nothing can change that about me.

The only way that I would be secure in a serious relationship is if money is kept separate. My partner would have every right to spend what money she earns however the hell she wants and I would do the same. I've ruined a number of friendships due to my own greed in the past, therefore, I learned the hard way to not involve money in any way when it comes to family and friends.

So yeah, because of my own personal feelings, I understand that I am likely biased here. I'm sorry if I offended anybody.
