If a man borrows money from his mate (around $10,000), and their relationship is pretty good (living together for over 6 months), and they are not kids (both 45 years old) and the man has always said he would repay and the woman knows he will but naturally, he plans on going on a trip right when they are having serious problems, and she is not sure he will return, the woman wants him to sign a "last minute" promissory note, (something pulled together from the internet), What kind of relationship do they have if he doesn't want to sign it because he wants to read it first - although there is no time (he's getting on a plane). If these people are in a relationship, should he just trust her and sign it (since she trusted him and gave him the money) or is he right in not signing with the excuse that "it was just sprung on him at the last minute" and he wants to read it first? What does that say about TRUST in their relationship. Please state your honest opinion. Thanks

I think the promisorry note should be signed.
When it comes to money..DO NOT TRUST ANYONE! 10,000 is a hell of a lot of money and nobody wants to lose 10,000 dollars!
It's easy to cut your losses and get on with your life if it's just 50 dollars or 100 dollars, but you can't just *cut your losses and get on with your life* easily after losing 10,000.
It's wayy too much money to take it lightly!
For some of us, 10,000 is almost a whole year salary!

Yes, she trusted him enough to let him borrow the money but waited until the last minute to spring the note on him. H*LL no, I wouldn't sign anything without reading it.

He should trust her and sign it she trusted him enough to let him borrow the money. The only thing that would keep him from signing it would be if he truly didn't intend to pay the money back.

he shouldnt sign it if he hasnt read it. that's just common sense and practical and you cant expect him to 'just sign it'. how long is the note? just make it simple. one, two or three lines is as good as some long drawn out contract. it's court worthy if you have a problem in the future. peace
