Guys, would you get married if she was willing to sign a prenup?

Question

I've seen a lot of men on here say they don't want to get married, and I can understand when you say things like, "I don't believe in marriage, or I'm not religious, so I don't see the point". I can understand those, but I never understood the reasons when they were related to finances. I get divorce makes people paranoid, and the idea that some could take all your stuff is scary, but why not just get a prenup. My boyfriend and I both agreed if we ever got married, we'd make a prenup for the other to sign, so that's never something we would think about but, if that was a part of marriage, you know you have to sign the prenup before the wedding. Do you think more men would get married then?

Also, ladies, would you be okay if your partner asked you to sign a prenup?

Reality is the divorce rate is sitting at 40/50%. No matter how much I trust and love someone there is always a risk, and I think a lot of us 'older' folk have learnt that. The "I would die for you" soon becomes another meaning when you in a break-up.

Additionally marriage contract do have legal implications. Depending on the country you in. In some cases not having a prenup would mean you cannot open up your own bank account alone, or if one partner dies everything is frozen. You really are joined at the hip and cannot do anything without the other person.

I have also seen people use and abuse the system. They get married with a lot of debt, and a few weeks after the "I do", it's "I have someone else", get divorced and leave the other person with crippling debt.

Despite the agreement. Once you actually married, you can see if the person is going half with you, assisting you financially. You don't need a legal agreement in place to force the person to care. They should do that regardless of the agreement.

I have similar question I just post.

Anyways, I am down with it. Reason, because I am only interested HER LOVE nothing else. I own a business is been hard, sweat, muscles burns, cold sick times and cramps. Is a landscaping business. Since 2016 I worked along with my dad. He is 61 he pushing as much he can with his strength. All he says " don't give up, all I want you to do the day I hang my gloves like Rocky, continue what we learned father and son, always think big and make it bigger, make me proud".

I want protect my assets. Plus I want to be fully responsible of my own debts.

Answering your question, yes. I would. I won't hesitate BUT I gotta be careful what I sign.

I wish there was a bar or a place where many single genders have this prenup at front but to take their time to date and to fall in love. If goes really well, not to hesitate on prenups. Compare met a female, goes well, next thing you know I bring that up and she will go ballistic insane.

If he was way more richer than me, I would say we should do a prenup as I don't want to be accused of anything.
I like the idea of a relationship agreement too a la the big bang theory.
Marriage is a kinda economic contract too, it is not all about love ever after.

@cjgsu It's also not about that. People can and do often become very different people in a divorce. The person you love and trusted when you married, isn't that person anymore in a divorce. They no longer care about you at all (often). Thankfully I've never gone through it personally, but people change often big time. And the law often sides with the woman. Fairly or not.

Gonna answer the same opinion what I comment.

At longest doesn't touch my assets I am fine with it. I do support child support because the kids are not the part of the relationship failure. The failure is between two adults.

The reason for the prenup. Is to prevent partnership. It makes sense during the relationship IF a business was started together but if I met her or you met him with a successful business I will respect her assets because first of all is not mine is not fair to grab or get something out, she had worked so hard to be successful. The only thing I am fully interested is her LOVE and the only thing I am willing to share is my Love. What about trust? I trust her to be faithfully. People do change.

Example:

Many may say well what about utility bills. You can't split that money back when both used the utility? Is like you are asking electric bill company I want my money back. I hope you all know why prenups are important.

Money / assets are only part of the problem for men with marriage today, and a prenup is essentially useless in divorce court because all the wife has to do is claim her husband cheated or beat her or the children and most judges will completely ignore the prenup. Go on YouTube and search "how to rape a man in divorce court" and you will find videos of female divorce lawyers who lay it all out play by play. It happens every day in every city across the US.

The bigger problem is the fact that men get screwed in custody settlements and lose their parental rights because the courts are extremely biased against fathers, and mothers typically take full advantage of that. When you consider that combined with the fact that half of marriages end in divorce, and 80% of those divorces are filed by women, you can see why most men find marriage a very unappealing proposition today.

Another fact that today's women seem completely oblivious to is that marriage does not offer the same benefits to men that it used to. The average married man today gets a lot less out of marriage than his father and grandfather did, while at the same time being asked to put a lot more into marriage and risk a hell of a lot more, as explained above.

Having said all of that, tell me why any man would want to get married now.

NO, BECAUSE THERE ARE SEVERAL PRECEDENTS OF JUDGES IN DIVORCE COURTS QUITE LITERALLY SIMPLY CHOOSING TO IGNORE EXISTING PRE-NUPS. JUST THROWING THE DOCUMENT ASIDE AND PASSING JUDGMENT OUTSIDE OF LAW.

THE CONTRACT IS WORTHLESS, JUST AS WORTHLESS AS THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT IT WAS DESIGNED TO PROTECT, IT MEANS NOTHING, IT IS NO PROTECTION AGAINST THE DIVORCE INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

ALL WOMEN ARE COMPLICIT UNTIL THEY DISCONTINUE THEIR ALLIANCE WITH THIS UNJUST SYSTEM. THAT'LL NEVER HAPPEN BECAUSE WOMEN GET A CUT OF THE LAWYER'S PROFITS.

Why even get married? Y'all could just get both a durable power of attorney and a medical power of attorney. A prenuptial agreement is more like a self-fulfilling prophecy that your marriage will fail and end up in divorce. It has gotten so bad that some people have changed their vows from "as long as we both shall LIVE" to "as long as we both shall LOVE" I suppose in an attempt to lessen the guilt (?) of not being able to fulfill your vows. Revoking a power of attorney is much easier than going through a divorce. Just saying, ya know?

No one can take "all your stuff". In community property states, income during the marriage is considered joint property and will be divided on divorce. If one partner (usually but not always the woman) has interrupted their career to support the other or to raise their children, she may be awarded more than half of the property, and in some states may also be awarded spousal support for some time.

In the US couples of approximately equal income may find that marriage results in an increase in income tax. A wedding ceremony and a legal marriage are two completely separate things.

Because prenups do not work.
They are thrown out of courts in the majority of times because it is up to the judge's discretion whether they are going to honor them or not.
They aren't legally binding documents, at best they serve as guidelines in asset division, IF both parties still agree on the terms outlined in the prenup.

Furthermore, prenups cannot override things that are granted to divorcees by law, such as: alimony, 50/50 division of all assets obtained during marriage.

I won't get married without a prenup. I've seen too many of my mates get screwed in divorce court, and let's face it, the courts still favour the woman in a divorce settlement.

It'll be simple enough - what was mine is mine, what was yours is yours, what was ours we split equally. No alimony (which is rare in Australia anyway), but I'm more than happy to pay child support, as long as that money IS ACTUALLY USED FOR THE CHILD!

@msc545 which is really stupid. I had a mate, many years ago, who had to pay his wife around $750 a week child support, as he owned his own business and his wage was quite large, yet his daughters never had clothes or shoes or anything, because his ex wife spent it on drugs!

Exactly. The purpose of child support is to extract money from the man, and give it to the woman. After that, the court could not care less about what happens to it.

She has as much to lose as i do. I would happily sign one, including custody arrangments for kids. Better to sort it when civil and rational then in the grips of relationship falling apart

Depends on the situation. If she made more money than me yes if not no. I would take all her chit when a divorce is coming 😂🤣

No. Prenups get tossed out in whole or in part solely at the discretion of the judge. "I felt like I was forced." actually works quite well at having them set aside. Or bonehead moves like having the same attorney for both of you. Even if she signed a waiver, there is a great chance that the entire prenup gets tossed. No thanks. Until the laws themselves are changed, marriage is a no-go.

I will not sign a prenup unless she wants it. If I'm marrying someone I'm putting my soul on the line if needed; I am not marrying just anybody. I'll be marrying my soulmate, a woman for whom I'm willing to sacrifice everything.
None of my great-grandfathers, grandfathers, or father needed one, why should I?

Me? No I wouldn't. If you have to make a "contract" in order to get married then you shouldn't be marrying in the first place.

If people can't act like adults and spend time finding the middle ground and work together with your partner then signing a "conditional love" paper defeats the purpose of even being with someone.

I can’t trust girls these days, if my family gave me $200,000 that’s for me not her. How do I know she isn’t going to dump my ass after 1 year and take half and go on to the next dick? Sorry ladies just like how you are super defensive meeting guys offline or giving your number to a nice guy asking your number... I can’t let my guard and i have to worry about me. You can dislike this comment ladies.

Frankly never thought about it when I got married. I guess it would entirely depend on what she wanted.. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed, but definitely obviously isn't a requirement, at least in my opinion.

Given how often prenups get thrown out in court, no. They're a defensive measure, but the level of protection they offer is still iffy.
