without offending your partner's feeling?
2007-07-02 15:56:36 · 12 answers · asked by Shopaholic 4 in Family & Relationships ➔ Marriage & Divorce
I just explained that it was what my family wanted me to do. I explained that it had nothing to do with them thinking we weren't going to make it, but more of a protective measure for my family's years of hard work and protecting the assets they've built over time. He signed no problem. I guess that's how I knew he didn't give a d*mn about my $. Made me feel like our relationship was more solid then I ever thought.

I would just say, dear, as much as we love each other, over time people can change and if that happens we want to protect ourselves, how would you feel about a pre-nup....anybody is going to take offense you bring up a pre-nup it makes them feel you don't trust them, but like i said you never know what can happen in the future and you want to protect what you have so no matter what you say they'll probably be upset you brought it up but just get it out in the open and talk to them about it

Be up front....I can't believe that anyone of worth money wouldn't talk about this from the moment commitment enters the picture. And, if the other person doesn't know this is a realistic possibility, then that person is fooling them self.
Marriage is easily thrown away in today's society. Prenups are simple the result of this.
Don't go any further in the relationship until you talk about this. It's not fair to you or your partner. Good luck.

If you have a good relationship, there is nothing that you should not be able to discuss....because there is no best way to discuss a pre-up with someone you do not communidate well with....take care....

they are going to get offended i bet even if you bring it up the nicest way possible. But if you really want one you are going to have to have a nice long sit down, and maybe it might take more than one conversation. But mention that it protects both of you not just the person bringing it up.

Just try to be as honest as you can with them. Don't just hint around ,go right to the point. If they have too strong a negative feeling,perhaps your getting into a bad relationship from the start?

If your partner can't understand what you're trying to do and say without getting offended, then you need to re-think the person you're about to marry. Be frank, open and honest always about what you want and need.

In todays world, I wish all couples were required to sign one one both sides, but were not so you just have to come out and tell the person that you want them to sign one.

They're going to be offended but if you explain why you want it you can possibly smooth it over.
A pre-nup is saying you believe the marriage might not work....while that's true it's not very romantic.
