My girlfriend stopped talking to me after i brought up divorce

We started talking about marriage and then I brought up divorce and a contingency plan should things go badly. Prenups, what to do with our future kids, etc. I told her I love her and I hope this doesn't happen but I wanted to be realistic. If I get married I'm in it for better or worse but most women see divorce as an option and I just wanted her to think about it before we take the next step. She didn't like that. Is it better to let her go since she's not looking at our relationship in a pragmatic way?

    "Is it better to let her go since she's not looking at our relationship in a pragmatic way?"

    You're already talking about letting her go right here. Think about this for a second.

    Who the fuck talks about divorce while considering and talking seriously about their future.

    Seems like you're the one who is not that serious about it and just comforting yourself that divorce is an option

    Anyone would lose a bit of trust if the better half starts talking about divorce while talking "seriously" about their future.

    I'm with her on this.

    Yeah, we all live in a Disney film, and once Prince Charming and the beautiful princess marry, they always live happily ever after. You're a terrible person for suggesting that's not how the real world works. I suppose your sadistic plan includes telling her than Santa and the Easter Bunny aren't real too?

    Some people (women mainly, I suspect) want to believe that the person they marry is The One And Only, and they'll live in blissful harmony forever. So you've rained on her parade, and she's pissed off.

    The one comment in your post that stuck out for me was how you said you believe "most women see divorce as an option". That makes it sound like you believe women go into marriage and choose divorce in a mercenary way, and that's really why you want a pre-nup. Not only do you believe "most women" think that way, you believe a very specific woman thinks that way. If you told her that or implied it, I'm not surprised she's annoyed.

    Regardless of whether she thinks that way or not, if you believe that about her, then you shouldn't become legally entangled with her and you definitely shouldn't have kids with her.

    Prenups can be important. But pick the right time to bring it up. If you brought it up right during a romantic discussion about getting married, you screwed up and no wonder she’s mad. If you brought it up at an appropriate time and she is mad about the prenup, you might have the think on that one.

    I get it it would be a thrn off from ya however I would understand it. Prenups are important! So many divorce rape the other half ones who never saw it coming or deserved it it's fucked. Prenups are good idea
