Would you sign a prenup?

22 Comments

So. I may / may not have done something stupid. Last night my girl and I went out with a couple of (so called) friends.

The topic? Prenups.

I was blinded by the spotlight when one of them asked me if I ever wanted to get a prenup. Me being the blockhead I am, decides to be honest and say yes.
This sparks a very heated debate between the girls of the group and the guys.

I have this 'keep your receipts, I keep mine' policy that basically ensures we both take out what we put in and compromise on the kids. With all those marriages that turn up, I personally thought it'd be stupid not to.

She didn't share my views however (which should go without saying I guess). Thing is... I was idiot enough to think she would. I don't want with my money and I don't want hers.

She's a smart girl with a very opportunistic future ahead of her so she shouldn't need mine. At her stage in life, chances are she'll hit a six digit figure before even I do.
And at any rate, it's not like it's a guarantee we're each other's lifetime match.

So now? I've been migrated to the couch, with a neat little pack of silent treatment. There's no self pity here. I know a lie was genuinely the right thing to say. It's like one of those 'do these jeans make me look fat' type of queries. My stupidity is at fault here.

I just can't get why prenups irritate her so much (and so many other women for that matter). Prenups work both ways right? Why all the insecurity?

And just to be sure it's not just me, I'm throwing in a poll.

I'm a girl and I say Yes 9
I'm a girl and I say Neigh 5
I'm a guy. Yes 22
I'm guy and I say No. 3
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I would never think or even consider getting married without a pre-nuptial agreement in this day and age. Anyone who brings any sort of assets into a relationship and wants to get married, and DOESNT get a pre-nuptial agreement is crazy.

    Her reaction is funny and is a typical female reaction to this topic. It's also evidence of how stupid the "equality between genders" is also.

      Yeah, the "equality between genders" will never be equal because for example a man has 50% more upper body strength then a woman, it's only just he at least make 50% higher general pay based on his own merits instead of forcing "gender equality" down peoples throats one unjust law after another.

    Most women have less money than their intended husband. And most do marry for money, stability. In most divorces its the woman who then wants all the money and assets. Notice I said "most" not all. In most womens mind, Its always the mans fault anyway for the divorce so take his ass for everything.

      To be fair in a divorce they are both going to think it is the other persons fault.
      I have to agree with the men in this thread on the fact that not signing a prenup is basically selling your ass.

    I am a girl and I say yes.

    However, I have a lot of female friends who say that they would only sign a prenup if they have more assets than their husband to be.

        That's what i said before you said what you said in a nut shell. Your ""most"" technically qualifies as 99% which i will now assume but realistically why not round it off to...

        ALL WOMAN ARE WHORES

        I mean, when someone asks you what time it is do you tell them 01:14:26 p.m. verbatim or just round it off? Come on lets get real here.

          Typical woman. The lazy thing doesn't put a cent in and all of a sudden she deserves it all. They'll still campaign for equal rights though.
          Just go to school and work for your own shit.

            I have no issue in being a gold digger and some men have no issues dating one.
            I'd rather marry for love but if he's rich it's not gonna make me sad,

    I would have no problem singing or having a prenup. I think that it is wise to have a days. If you truly love someone it shouldn't matter how much money or property that they have. I think couples should have a "If we were to split" scenario and discuss about who would get what in a divorce before they got married.

    I just want my woman to slave over the stove, clean, run my errands, be barefoot and not pregnant.

    It's not a gender thing, don't be stupid enough to limit this to that. It's just a disagreement between you and your girlfriend (+ her dumb friends).

    In my opinion, I think it's great you two got this out in the open. You're seeing more examples of how she handles disagreements, how strong her communications skills are, and what little it takes to make her upset. You're seeing her reaction, not all women in the world, just her.

    Personally, I can't stand the, "Let me keep my mouth shut, and lie," bullshit. Being honest is having respect for the other person. If she looks fat in those jeans, then you tell her that her butt is too bootylicious, and go shop for more jeans with her.

    I was in a 7 year relationship with a woman who owned her own home, long before I owned a home.

    After we broke up, LEGALLY I was entitled to part of her property, but that was the last thing I ever wanted. I even did quite a bit of work on her home like paving, gardening, repainting. But why would I want something I didn't pay for? The thought never even crossed my mind.

    I would not have a problem signing a pre nup - unlike most women who seem to think it's like saying 'we may as well breakup now as I don't trust you'.
