Women, Whats Your Problem With Prenups?

1. Ravenys Black Says

   Sure, I would sign a prenup as long as there was a clause that if he cheated on me the prenup would become null and void!!

   I would have gone along with it if my husband had wanted one. I probably would have had a few days were I was a little worried about why he wanted it to begin with (the whole “don’t you trust me? and Don’t you have faith in our relationship?), but I would have forgotten about it pretty fast.
   As an on-looker, I don’t quite understand why prenups seem to be such a big deal; it seems like the smart thing to do. But neither of us have ever had much money…I guess I just don’t understand richer people and their feelings about it all!
   EDIT: just read some of the others’ answers, and I very much agree about the “he keeps what he had before” idea. I really hate the idea of the one who was lesser off beforehand getting screwed in the end and leaving with nothing despite their effort. I don’t know all the legal stuff and whether this applies to prenups or not, but what I really hate hearing about are the cases where (usually) the wife gets alimony for the rest of her life. I’m sorry, but just because you were married to a millionaire for 2 years, doesn’t mean you “can’t live without $10 million a year”! If there is alimony, it should be enough for a REASONABLE living, and limited to when that person can get a job or for a certain number of years. It’s about the cost of LIVING…not your social status. You’re not going to die if you’re not living in the Hamptons, and if not having it rips you apart emotionally, that’s your problem!

   I don’t have a problem with prenups. If course they have to be fair, I would never sign something that said no matter what happened, he got to keep everything and I’m left out on the street, but in general, I have no problems with them. I think they are smart and good for protecting both parties.
   The only reason we didn’t have one is because neither of us had anything to lose when we got married.

   No, love shouldn’t be about the money, but you sure as hell make it about the money by bringing up a prenuptial agreement.
   If the marriage is about love, and it’s not about the money, right? Why are you worried about a prenup?

   Too many times a man who is well off financially will use a prenup to keep his beautiful trophy wife in line while he has fun on the side and as soon as she is too old for him he moves onto the next younger, sexier thing without having to give his wife a cent.

   Asking for a prenup is kind of like preparing in your mind to divorce before you’re even married.
   Maybe I don’t understand because we aren’t rich, but if you even think you need a prenup, why are you marrying this person? There’s obviously a doubt in your mind that it may not work out.

7. Jenn Says

   Good point and we do have to face facts that about 50% of all marriages end in divorce. But I can see where a woman might feel that the prenup is just portending the doom of a marriage. Sort of like setting up for failure with an easy out for the husband.

   my problem is not what you brought into the marriage beforehand – taking that stuff back – if you came in with 100,000 and I came with 0 – he should walk away with $100,000 more than I – but we obtained during the marriage is and should be shared 50/50

10. Jess Says

    The problem its with the prenup the problem is with the thought of one. You shouldn’t need one if you need one why are you getting married?

11. Mostly Mellow Says

    Absolutely none, and I should hope the intended dude feels the same way.

12. Savannah the Believer Says

13. Rock, Paper, Scissors Says
