Would You Ever Get Married as a Professional Athlete?

[bowdown]

Its no secret that tons of women throw themselves at professional athletes. I was wondering the other day that it would take some real balls to marry a women knowing that she already knew u had all the money and the thought that if you divorce she will own half your shit. So the question is...Would you ever get married if you were a young millionaire professional athlete.

[J@3]

I'd doubt it. The amount of traveling and shit would make life hard enough without all of the temptations and sluts and whatever throwing themselves at you. Plus anyone who's ever been in a relationship knows they can cause chaos in your day to day life even if you're just working a 9-5 or at school or whatever, can't imagine how difficult it would be when you're playing for millions of dollars and all over the TV every day.

Prenuptial agreement.

Prenuptial agreement.

This.

If I were a professional athlete or a celebrity of some other kind, I'd probably be inclined to marry another celebrity. Less likely to encounter a gold digger that way.

No, I dont think two people can sustain "happiness" for a long period of time. People just settle for "being used to eachother" and call it happiness.

I'd rather be able to be free and leave/end things without feeling bad or having thrown a big party for a bunch of people to celebrate "true love".

Especially as an athlete. With that amount of money the chances of pussy like multiplies times a hundred.

Yes,i would take that Risk.
Though i believe after retiring would be better

[shadowgrin]

But some gold diggers still expect that you have the same money you had when you were still active in playing.

But having more time for the family will be a plus though,and more time as well to make a decision on the one i will mary

[cyanide]

I would, after retirement and signing a prenup.

Child support seems to be the downfall of a lot of former NBA players, mainly because the terms don't seem to change when their career is over and they're no longer earning an NBA salary. Sure, some of them don't help matters with a string of kids with different mothers, but the system itself isn't too forgiving no matter the circumstances.

Probably not. I'd just enjoy the rich bachelor life.
