I think regardless you should always get a prenup. You never know what will happen in the future and it's better to protect yourself now rather than have someone take half your stuff later.

But marriage is a partnership and people make sacrifices for each other's careers, so each person should be entitled to half of whatever was made during the marriage.

icy conditions. baloney if you ask me

I'm convinced my sister will get diagnosed with OCD eventually. She just had a brat attack because I didn't make her sandwich on the right side of the counter.

I dunno, I tend to agree with the idea of a pre-nup. The rate of marriage failure in this country is quite high, so it makes sense (fiscally at least) to protect your assets. And if your marriage survives, then it won't make a bit of difference.

That may depend on the situation. Plus what about the assets they had before the marriage?

I personally think eveyone should get a prenup, makes things less messy.

the only reason I would consider a prenup is to make sure god forbid we got divorced my children would be provided for and we would keep the house... and possibly to spare any children from a bloody divorce.

Ooh, you work in admissions. So I bet you get tons of annoying people checking their statuses all day 😀 Though I don't remember being nearly as neurotic when I applied to my undergrad.

You'd be surprised at how annoying people can be. :laugh:

Generally, I don't mind. I 😍 my alma mater, and I've always enjoyed promoting it and helping people get in. I think we just all have "those days" when anything and everything annoys us.

Sure, assets from before the marriage should go back to the individuals that had them. But people do make sacrifices for each others' careers in a long marriage, it's inevitable...move to certain cities, become housewives/househusbands, pass up promotions that require moving elsewhere. It's worth recognizing.

That may be true in some cases, but you're forgetting the arguably more prevalent scenario of digging for gold. I think someone mentioned the movie Liar, Liar a couple of pages back. Slightly different situation since she signed a pre-nup that was declared void because of a technicality, but I think she was the perfect example of when it's necessary to have a pre-nup. It all depends on the people involved though.

yes and unfortunately most divorces don't end amicably. The worst sides of people come out during these things... I'm still not sure how I feel about it tho. It's weird to get ready to spend the rest of your life together but plan for a divorce, just in case lol

Yeah I know, but we all made Plan B's in case we didn't get to medical school right? This is the same thing.
 
3/4 done with my part of the presentation... the powerpoint that is.

It's like pulling teeth to get me interested in this. I still haven't read the section, gotta do that... sometime. So that I know what I'm talking about.

Aww...sounds like my sister at the age of 5. She's 20 and I'm still waiting for the OCD diagnosis to come in :laugh:.

Yeah, very true...OMBD made a good point, though.

I think if I'm still with Mr. Nola after 4 years of med school and 3+ years of residency, I would never ask for a pre-nup (maybe he would?). He's shared in my 7+ years of misery, he probably deserves half my earnings.

On the other hand, if I met a guy after I finished med school, it might be a very different story. Who knows.

Speaking of pre-nups, have you guys seen the Seinfeld where George is trying to get Susan to break up with him? So he asks for a pre-nup? And she laughs her head off: "Sure I'll get a pre-nup. I make far more money than you do." I couldn't find it on YouTube 👎
 
I've decided that it's a really bad sign when your homework takes 3 hours -- to locate (in PubMed) and print.

I think I just printed out a small novel on RNA Polymerase II.
 
Hey 2013!!! 🙂 Long time, no post, I know...

1) From skimming the last couple of pages, is there a c/o 2013 facebook group? And how would one go about getting in on this?

2) Regarding pre-nups... maybe I'm naive, but I could never ask for a pre-nup. I was just raised thinking that marriage is forever, so in some ways I don't want to even consider the possibility of divorce. If later on something happens... well, I guess I should've chosen my partner better. I guess I would just feel really two-faced saying, "Honey, I love you and I want to spend my life with you... but just in case I don't want to in five years, could you sign this sheet of paper?"
 
PMed GoSpurs re: FB group.

My turn to be on TOP!

Hey guys

going on my first interview soon. I notice on the interview forums that a lot of schools ask "so tell me about yourself?" That question is so vague and I can think of a lot of different ways to answer that. Any advice on what I should stick to??????????/

Hi and congrats on your interview! I honestly think the best way to go about this question is basic: Family, basic interests, your interest in medicine (basic). They'll ask questions for you to elaborate on what they want to hear.

Relax and have fun!
 
Well, I still have 3.5 hrs left at work. Oh Goody!

How is everybody's day going?
 
sleepy here too. home, worked out a bit- really sore from running yesterday, so I did some yoga and boxing - and watching some show called "time warp" with my dad.
