Dear Marvin,I'm flabbergasted. My fiance wants me to sign a pre-nup! This seems crazy to me! We both come from wealthy families and have our own money and one would not be dependent on the other. I never even considered having him sign a pre-nup but apparently his family is insisting. This just hurts me. Does this mean they don't like me? And why are we PLANNING for our divorce before we are even married?
Love vs. Money
Dear Love vs. Money,
Money is always a touchy subject. But I don't think you should take it personally that a pre-nup has been brought up. This is also about protecting yourself. Pre-nup's are just for the super wealthy now. You have to think about your future. If you don't plan for your future and something was to happen in your marriage and you don't have a pre-nup you could be leaving the division of your assets completely up to a judge, a stranger. Having a pre-nup can actually help eliminate some of the stress of your future. Talk very frankly with your fiance about the pre-nup and how it has made you feel. Work out the details between the TWO OF YOU not your families. This is about your marriage, not your familes. Best of luck!
