Ben Swann sits down with New York City divorce lawyer and author James Sexton for part two of their conversation on divorce, prenups, modern marriage, masculinity, dating culture, and the hard conversations couples often avoid . James breaks down why divorce court is not the place most people imagine it to be, why lawyers often become the only real winners, and why every marriage already has a prenup, whether couples write one themselves or let the government define it. In this episode, we dive into: • Why friends can give dangerous advice during divorce • How divorce court actually works behind the scenes • Why justice is not always the goal of the court system • Why lawyers often become the only real winners in divorce • Staying focused on life after divorce • Why every marriage already has a prenup • How prenups can create honest conversations before marriage • Dating culture, expectations, and money conversations • Why hard conversations should happen early in relationships • Masculinity, protection, and emotional responsibility • What it means for men to make the people they love feel safe • Why men and women need more honesty, not more blame This episode is about truth, accountability, marriage, and the conversations that may feel uncomfortable now but can save people from far greater pain later.
