That's definitely fair.
Meh what part of that post do you disagree with?
Yeah, this was going to be my question, too. It didn't really seem that ridiculous/naive.
I don't even disagree, I just find the takes entertaining basically for the reasons qcdeac and townie mentioned.
Hey httd I'm stuck in the airport with a male colleague and we've had two meals together. Heads up!
Meh, I may have a different idea about all of it because I'm an early over-sharer in terms of my opinions/feelings when I meet new people... but I can't believe the conversations some people DON'T have before they move in/get engaged/get married. Obviously things can change and your answers should never be considered permanent, but personally I wouldn't even consider one of those big life moves without having had those big types of conversations (finances, kids, try to stay in this area or anticipate moving, etc.). Open the door of communication and keep it open, makes handling changes down the road much easier.
The idea of numbers hashing out everything with his gf using spreadsheets and powerpoints detailing expected salary earnings and death projections is such a great visual
Watch out! Cucking in the Chili's!

Are we sure it's actually a conversation between numbers and his gf or is it really his gf tells him what is going to happen and he goes with it 100%
As long as you acknowledge you can't possibly discuss everything with your SO before marriage that could potentially cause friction, it's not that naive.
But I think the major gripe is that things change, both in a marriage and in life. What you want today may not be what you want down the road. It's important to lay a good groundwork for honest communication, but don't expect the work to be done before you say "I do."
What's the Mike Tyson quote?
"Everybody has a gameplan until you get punched in the mouth."
"Now grab your ankles, and wait calmly while I go fetch the step stool from in front of the kitchen sink."

which is why you should probs not get married until, like, 30
Not sure if that helps.
and I don't mean "get together at 24 and wait until 30" i mean "don't get serious about settling down until around 30"
