Tom | | | | | Very pragmatic, isn't it. It was never a topic of discussions for us.

In Switzerland, you have to decide one of the three options.

No decision, no marriage.

Tom | | | | | Three? What's the third besides the separate and joint assets?

The concept itself is fine. In many cases, it’s an intelligent and responsible option. If mutually communicated and well thought out and with input from professionals in the field, it may even be largely beneficial.
That’s does not seem to be the case here. It’s either a citizenship sham, which I want no part in enabling, or a multi-track catastrophe which neither party or their families and friends deserve.
I guess it’s also possible it might not even be a real post. Maybe some dragonwings or dragonlady or whatever it was trolling.

Great stuff guys! Thanks! Seems like marriage is not the solution even though there is much outside pressure to do so. Seems like people often marry because of outside pressure. Marriage is not unnecessary pressure to keep a marriage together. In my opinion relationships are like soap. The harder you squeeze the further i flies
Ps. Interesting that there is several "hater" posts |
