What would you put in a pre-nup?

Nothing. Don't get married if you're afraid of losing half your stuff. Tiger woods should never have gotten married.

Nothing that could burn you down the road

Are you significantly more wealthy than her?
If you are similar in wealth, there is no reason for one.

I've been kicking the idea around because I am the sole breadwinner but all I'd want is my motorcycle, computers, and time with my little girl.

Other than Mrs Thumb and her 4 daughters.

Open marriage, so cheating is not a clause to begin with

 

[Platypus]

Nope, and didn't.

 

[SSSnail]

If I had one, I'd probably try to work the language "concubines" in there somewhere.

 

[poofyhairguy]

My state throws them out too much so nothing.

Disagree.

Everything that I had before we got married is mine. Fuck off (if we get divorced).

 

[nageov3t]

don't really see myself ever getting one, but if I had to for whatever reason... calculate both our pre-marriage net worths. if a divorce happens, we each take what's ours and split marriage assets 50/50

also, my boyfriend would have to take our asshole cat.

# of blowjobs per week, anything less and the marriage is considered void.

if she cannot fulfill the requirements personally, she can get her friend/sister to help.

Serious. If you think you need a Pre-Nup then you should not get married.

Yeah but there are only a handful of guys that can pull that off.

I feel like it makes sense if you're entering into a marriage where one party has significantly more assets or if you both come from complex financial backgrounds.

personally... my boyfriend and I have about the same earning potential (I make more now, but he'll probably match or beat my salary within the next couple years), neither of us have substantial assets beyond savings/retirement accounts, and since we don't want kids, I don't see a situation where either of us stops working and is supported by the other. in that scenario, I don't see what need a prenup would serve.

I never understood the antagonism toward pre-nups. Sorry to break it to you, but EVERYBODY has a pre-nup. There's the default one you get as a matter of law if you don't write one yourself, or there's the one you write for yourself.

People who say "pre-nups are so unromantic!" are generally people who favor the default disposition provided by the pre-nuptial agreement presumed by law because it is more favorable to them.

False.

Regardless of how much you do or don't trust your (soon to be) wife, it makes COMPLETE LOGICAL sense to not risk your financial assets that you worked (literally) a life-time to obtain. Especially if your wife led little in the working world, why would you risk giving it all up that you worked 20-40 years to obtain? You're an IDIOT if you do otherwise as been seen time and time again by anyone with big bucks. Love is love and all that shit, but again, this is a matter of going to Vegas and putting all your money on the table for high risk.

For my marriage, we didn't have a pre-nup because neither of us had much more money than the other. We both have damn close to equal salaries, and none of us had debt / more savings than the other.

I really don't want to get married, I'm just happy single and free, but if I did, I'd definitely want to put the house, my computer/server equipment and anything that is fastened to the house (ex: wiring etc).

Don't want to get too stingy on prenup though or it might piss off the other party, so I'd leave the car and financial assets (don't have much) out of it and just accept that I'd lose half my savings, retirement etc... if I got a divorce, but to me the most important thing is a stable place to live so would not want to be in a situation where I have to pack up and move. I put too much work and money in this place. The biggest killer though is child support, if there's kids involved. Prenup or not, that can drive you to bankruptcy, and if you can't afford it, you go to jail.

Of course if you get married you should both love each other to the point where the concept of divorce is not even a thought.
