prenuptual agreements. what do you think of them? is there any good way to bring them up?
just wondering. if I ever get married, I'm sure most of my stuff will wind up in storage anyway...

It's not the prenup thing that worries me most about marriage....

Who says you are going to marry someone with less that you! I made my husband to be sign a pre-nup - good job I did - he turned out to be a total horror! At the time I felt really guilty. but guilty is ok better than bankruptcy. Protect yourself- if your future spouse won't sign then why not? Are they planning to sit on their backside , do nothing and expect you to pay for them for the rest of your life? If they are not there for the money then there is no reason not to sign

pre nups are confusing...see i feel that if u plan on being with that person forever you really wouldn't ask for one, but on the other side if u plan on being with a person forever u wouldnt mind signing it. you'd have no fear about what u'd lose or wouldnt get at the end. and i dont think there's really a good way to bring it up. i mean it's kinda weird to say "hey baby i love you and want to be with you forever. but in case that doesnt work out, could u sign this prenup...u know, just in case"...lol

i think if u ever marry u shouldnt have the prenuptual thing in the back of your mind,bc thats clearly saying u dont trust her completely,and if u dont have that,than why have anything at all?

Can be complicated. If you were married before and children are involved, I think it is appropiate to protect their intended inheritance from their parents but that can be arranged in advance.
If you are looking to protect your personal wealth, give it up. Marriage is covenant, 2 become 1, whats yours is hers, whats hers is yours. You are setting yourself up for failure, expressing a no confidence in yourself to stay married. If it were me, and my fiance wanted a prenup, I don't think I would believe he was really in love ...at least not with me, but in love with himself.

if there was trust in the beginning... you wouldn't need a prenup.. then again. there are some money hungry hoes out there. just tell her - listen. i will marry but you gotta sign the dotted line sister or no deal lol

Just be honest. If she loves you for you, she will not mind. If she loves you for your money, she will mind. If you don't really have a lot and you both go into this broke and build together, then it should be shared anyway.

If you are already looking at who gets what when you divorce then you may wish to rethink marriage. It may not be for you.
