You are single and have $1,000,000 in assets.

[FelixDeCat]

What is more valuable to you - losing the partner of your dreams or losing half your assets? We all know things change once the rings are on and ham sammiches dont make them themselves. So I would do it, or stay single.

 

[ChaoZ]

If she doesn't say yes, she isn't worth it.

 

[SunnyD]

Prenup yes. If she balks, then you know she's a gold digger. Screw the argument "well if YOU really loved me, you wouldn't be worried about your money!"

Sorry, but in this day and age it's every man for himself.

 

[LinuxIdiot]

I would attempt a pre-nup, but depending on how badly I want to be with her I would have to think hard on whether going ahead without a pre-nup or going back to being single

 

[cheezy321]

Why wouldnt she want to sign something like that? All of the excuses for not signing a pre-nup are a complete cop-out.

 

[SP33Demon]

Or you could just keep the money in offshore accounts and not tell her about it?

 

[mchammer187]

I wouldn't ever ask for a prenup. I also wouldn't propose if there was any doubt in my mind though. Most marriages fail because the two should not have ever gotten married in the first place and there are usually signs of this.

 

[Canun]

Doesn't really matter. Once you get married, all the cash is gone.

Legally, once she finds out the money is hers anyway. Doesn't do you any good when you buy your yacht and she asks "Where'd you get the money for that?"

 

[yh125d]

Don't get married

Well considering my looks, it WOULD be all about money.

Buy $500 Euro notes and hide them in the backyard? :laugh:

Publisher's Clearinghouse always worked for me. Or you can say your best friend lent you the money because his business is doing well. Trust me, she doesn't need to know about that money.

 

[tasmanian]

If she wont sign a prenup, then you gots a gold digger.

 

[StageLeft]

No, if you need one don't get married. Even if you do have a reasonably good chance of divorce (and you do), you're just a fvcking douche if you go around with that hanging over the marriage's head. If you love her enough to marry her now you should love her enough to give her a bunch of money later. And so what if you lose some money, you'll die one day and your net worth won't count for a sh*t in the woods.

 

[Cheesetogo]

A prenup indicates a lack of trust. While divorce is excessively common and love is not guaranteed to last forever, I really don't think you should be getting married if these things are of major concern to you. Trust goes hand in hand with marriage.

You could already be a winner. :thumbsup:

Too obvious. Buy diamonds and keep them stashed inside your colon.

If divorce comes she'll be too busy ripping you a new asshole to look in the old one.

 

[Beev]

Lol @ all of the anti-prenup people.

A prenup is just a safeguard. Stop trying to make it into something more than it is.

 

[Zee]

sorry, if you need a pre-nup, you shouldnt be married. there's a fucking reason that divorce is 50%

 

[AstroManLuca]

I love my girlfriend and she loves me. I wouldn't ask her for a prenup in our current situation because I don't have much money and she's poised to eventually make a lot more than I do (but not before racking up a bunch of student loan debts).

But if I did have tons of money, I'd ask her for one and I think she'd be okay with it. She's very reasonable and understanding. Even if she was taken aback by it, she's very reasonable and cool-headed and she wouldn't immediately freak out at the request. Then the question would be who backs down, if either of us do. Like I said, I think she'd be cool with it, but if she didn't want it I'd probably drop the issue and we'd get married anyway rather than sticking to my guns and letting her get away.

I take it you're not rich?

 

[BassBomb]

i dont get married to a damn gold digger

 

[ponyo]

I think the question should be "would you sign a prenup if the situation was reversed?

 

[skace]

I'd like to be in the situation where the prenup isn't even a concern on my mind.

And where does trust come into this?? Once the big D comes out the gloves are off.
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
If she is actually reasonable and treats you fairly with what to do with the estate then why the hell are you divorcing her?? You're leaving a 1 in a million gem!
The other 999,999 are going to take you for all they can and then some.

Hell yes to the pre nup, hell, I had my 2nd ex sign a post nup, and it worked fine
