Do you think a prenup is a good idea ? Or does it spell doom for a relationship/marriage later on ?

 

Does it make you feel that person does not love you/ trust you fully if they want you to sign a piece of paper ?

I think it's similar to getting auto insurance. It doesn't doom you to getting in an accident, but it can protect you from getting financially screwed if it does happen.

I think prenup is a MUST..

No problem signing one; no problem getting over a lady who gives me the finger and leaves over one. The older one gets, the more such realities obtain, IME. Our MC agrees :)

I would NEVER get married without a prenup. If i sense that a relationship is getting serious i will let her know that i need a prenup. If she disagrees with me i will feel NO regret on her or i walking out of the relationship as that just means that it is not for love but for money or the lifestyle.

A man getting married without one is like flying a fighter jet without an ejector seat.

AHEM, Im not a guy, and im the one who is worried about this issue!

 

My X had an issue with a prenup, and said, he wouldnt sign because it was like predicting that we would part...

(once when we fought, he spat the words.."i will take 1/2 of your investment")

 

I will INSIST on a prenup. Even a defacto relationship is a worry here in Australia, after 6 months, OR just residing under the same roof, the government seems to deem your defacto as owning half your stuff.

 

Its a freak out when your (x) partner was twice bankrupt, and a cold hearted freak who had convinced his father to mortgage his house... and lost it for him.... its okay, I escaped with everything that was mine.

 

Id never risk it again though. The minute I begin a live in relationship and become defacto, id like a prenup.
