Hypothetically speaking, if you were with someone for a long time and about to get married and was a soon-to-be husband and she wanted a prenuptial agreement first, would that offend you?
Just getting a male perspective, (but ladies you can comment too).
Besides, if you haven’t any doubts about the marriage lasting or any desire for her things as opposed to desire to be with her then there should be nothing to worry about, right? The wife will get her wish and you will get to be with her.
But what about you personally? How would you feel about this?
…And no, this is not happening to me. Ha Ha!

Don't see why it should matter. It's a safety net, marraige has a greater than 50% failure rate in the US, meaning more than likely it will fail. Not saying it will, just doesn't seem terribly bright to do nothing about it. Not to mention neither party has to worry about how things would fall out if the marraige did end, meaning that neither party has to worry that the other is just sticking around for the money. I'd just say that I would make sure the wording is clear on how things are divided up so that he isn't signing his life savings away.

I would not be offended at the idea of a prenuptial agreement if I was to get married. I think the whole concept of a prenup is a good idea. It is an ultimate show of committment and trust and promise to be faithful

I personally think that prenuptial agreements are demeaning financial contracts that lessen the importance of the committment to marriage. It's something I would never ask for and would be a deal breaker if my man were to ask me to sign one.

Answering as a woman in the reverse situation, I wouldn't be offended. Then again I view marriage as more of a financial / benefits contract than for love. Love and marriage aren't mutually exclusive, and for me personally, I plan on spending much of the rest of my life in love, but don't plan on getting married again.

It would depend on sooooo many other facts. Like, is there a big disparity in wealth and earning power? (If Carrie Underwood wants a pre-nup, I'll sign a pre-nup!) Or if this is a second marriage and she wants to preserve assets for existing children.... Bottom line: No, I would not necessarily be offended.

I would not be too happy with it. It's not an unreasonable request for her to ask, but going into a marriage the last thing I would want to hear is who gets what when this doesn't work.

No, I wouldn't be offended. I would understand, cause anything can happen at any time. No matter how much you may love that person, that doesn't change the future.

I'm sure both things are happening to you.. confess... lol.
It's about trust again, I would not feel happy if my future husband didn't trust me %100 like to dismiss this possibility-
