13. They always hand those back to you.....
after the divorced is finalized.


Of course they are usually a little worse for wear.

3. None.
Edited on Tue Mar-13-07 04:43 PM by LynzM
Call me naive, but I'm hoping I wouldn't marry someone whose trust I didn't value and count on more than all my stuff...

5. Yep - I would have to keep the cats if there was a split
Abbott and Evita would not want it any other way

8. Same here
I have two cats. In fact, when my partner and I split up four years ago I insisted that they stay with me. They will never live with anyone else. They're my loyal companions and true friends, and no possession I have is worth as much as they are to me.

11. I agree. The kids came with me, they leave with me.
Edited on Tue Mar-13-07 04:58 PM by ThomCat
And there is no way in hell I'm only protecting one of the three. All three come with me.

But you already knew that, LOL. Of course Meneken wouldn't go with anyone else, especially a guy, LOL, unless he didn't mind losing a finger or two...;)

9. My coin collection
Edited on Tue Mar-13-07 04:57 PM by derby378
Or, if it came right down to it, two coins - a 1943 British farthing from my father, and a 1936 Polish 2 groszy from my grandfather, which he received from his own father when he came over from Poland.

Not worth a huge amount, I know, but they have a lot of sentimental value to me.

22. Probably not worth a lot to anyone but me or someone in my family
but I have a wooden rosemaled trunk that was brought by my great-great-great-grandma from Norway when she came here in the early 19th century. It has her name and birth date and marriage date, and it's stuffed with family history...photos, postcard albums, wedding garments, farm ledgers (which are a hoot; my grandpa kept track of every penny in and out of his pocket, penciled in little black books)

It's a real nostalgia trip every time I open it up.

25. My musical instruments. But if I had to "protect" them, I'd know I shouldn't marry
that person.

27. Gotta say nothing.
I just won't marry. I don't like the prenup concept, Donald Trump does, and it erodes at building a relationship. Which means I just have to be more wary of the greedy vs the genuine.

28. Absolutely nothing. If I didn't think I wasn't going to be married forever
I wouldn't have gotten married. I don't believe in prenups and I never will. It's been worth the risk.
