Would you go through with the marriage? Why or why not?

At a minimum, a pre-nup means that the two of you have sat down and really discussed the business end of marriage and divorce, a MUST even without a prenup (and so often not done).
I would not be discouraged by a prenup, but I would have my own lawyer review it and possibly insist on changes to suit me as well.
If a person would bail because of a prenup, it is either because they are so insecure as to think "love is enough" (which it is NOT), or they have reason to fear financial limitations being placed on their exit, or it might indicate they are about to marry a selfish person. Any of these would be big red flags to me that this person is either not mature enough for marriage or there are bigger problems that need to be worked out before considering a wedding.

I am not a girl but I would like to answer. A pre-nup is just like planning to fail. It shows a lack of trust from the beginning. If someone trusts me so little that they want me to sign a pre-nup, I would not marry them because they obviously don't trust me.

To me it shows a lack of trust. I don't think you should be taken advantage of though. It's a touchy subject. Why don't you ask her. This may be an opportunity for her to show you she's just not after your money. -- I hope it works out for you. (whatever the Pre-nup says be fair, who can argue with that??)

You're not supposed to get married to acquire stuff...I would sign one, with the stipulation that adultery would make the pre-nup null and void!

no., I think prenups are a good idea.
I would of been offended when I was younger and engaged,
But that relationship disolved just before we got married. So I now know that relationships dont always work, no matter how hard you try, and people can become spiteful and try to take all your belongings, so If I get married to my current boyfriend, I am definetly asking him for a prenup.

No, I wouldn't be mad at all. If I had assets to protect, I'd write one up.
My father left my mother nothing but debt when he died. I think hard about being financially burned. It doesn't mean I don't love the other person. I just don't want to have to cope with the things I saw my mom deal with.

Ask any lawyer hun, those pre-nups are worth less than the paper they are on. Won't protect your butt for anything.

I would say no i would not be mad, because if I had items or whatever to protect I would ask for one too. Plus you marry for love..not possessions

Yes, I'd be angry. And I'd think long and hard about marrying a man who didn't trust in our love to last for the rest of our lives. I'd ask myself if I could be truly happy with a man who has it in the back of his mind (or maybe in front) that we might get divorced one day and he wants to protect his assets. That money came before me and us.
