Prenup Quotes

“I could only imagine the prenup I'd have to sign: In the event of a divorce, Mrs. Scaife- Elwood will receive eleventy- bajillion dollars and Mr. Elwood will continue to blame himself for the dissolution of the marriage and the ruining of Mrs. Scaife- Elwood's life, in perpetuity, even though it's probably not his fault.”
― Abigail Barnette, The Girlfriend

“Contract Matrimony (The Sonnet)

When I fall, I fall wholly -
without a safety net of any kind.
Prenups are an insult of love,
all in fear of an imaginary night.

Contract lovers are worse
than contract killers,
at least contract killers
don't second guess their motive.
Either love or don't,
there's no second guessing -
either marry or don't,
there's no contract matrimony.

Prenups are for juveniles,
Clauses are for cowards.
To seek escape in commitment,
is an act of con, not love.

Escapists have no right to love,
Lovers have no need for escape.
When you change exes like socks,
It's a sickness, not a choice.”

“You can marry the right person today, yet be married to the wrong person someday … without having married again.”
