Prenups: yes or no?

[SEL195]

I saw a video about prenups. Some thibgs were crazy like the woman is not allowed to gain weight etc l.

Yes i have to protect myself

No

A total of 66 votes were cast: 16 girls and 50 guys. See detailed results

[BCRanger10]

No.

When a couple signs a prenuptial agreement, they're anticipating and I would even say almost expecting that they'll encounter problems that they will choose not to overcome (and yes, they will choose not to overcome them).

Additionally, prenups can be challenged in court. All they basically do at this point is add another layer of complication to an already difficult situation which shouldn't even be happening in the first place.

Honestly, I've arrived at the point where I think a lot of people take prenuptial agreements more seriously than the marriage contract itself.

Prenup? Absofuckinglutely!

Marriage is like a hurricane there is a lot of blowing in the beginning & when it’s all said & done your house is gone. As for me when it comes to marriage I would want to protect my assets so I vote yes for prenup.

[laurieluvsit]

That's one reason why I'm not married yet.

If you don't know them well enough or trust them well enough to do it without one, then you shouldn't do it in the first place.

What's the point?

Marriage is about trust.

[petitedollbabee]

I don’t know anything about prenups so I can’t say yes or no. Never bothered to learn about them as I don’t want to get married.

[HighValue]

I wouldn't consider marriage without one.

I'd want it to have that I keep my house, any cars that have my name on the title (the ones I buy for myself), my savings, checking, etc., any financial benefits from my job, any investments I make, all of my electronics, gaming stuff, everything I owned before marriage, and any pets that I purchased.

She keeps anything that she bought with her own earned money like car, etc., keeps her own checking and savings, and things like that too.

Keep separate checking accounts (not joined).

Basically we each keep what we earned and paid for ourselves.

Marriage is a great financial risk to the MAN, not the woman so it is absolutely necessary to have one. If she refuses, she is pretty much admitting that she wants to steal from him. Plus, wouldn't she want one so she knows that he is still married to her because he wants to be together and he is not with her just to avoid losing half of what HE earned?

[NerdInDenial]

Prenuptial agreements is very necessary like car, flood, rental, housing, life, etc. insurance. While you don't plan for marriage to fail, it is very easy for people to get divorced; divorce rates are still around 50%, but it could be less since less people are getting married. Because of this, it is vital for parties entering a merger to protect themselves.

[DJB72]

I didn't want one. Neither of us had anything to protect. In this country you can marry with joint accrual or individual, community of property or not.

We chose not. Don't know why.

But it meant when I got sick in 2020 we didn't lose our house when the savings were gone to pay for the ICU bill from Covid and my shiny new prosthetic leg.

[TroyDT2]

In most states there are restrictions, like any unfair provision or anything that violates public policy can be voided at the discretion of the judge. And attorneys love prenups because when the divorce comes they can make oodles litigating the validity.

[20yearsolder]

Here's how I think it should work, anything accumulated prior to marriage should be that person's property anything attained after marriage should be split up if there would be a divorce

[Aerissa_Jade]

I love that approach, my husband and I also added something else. If a gift, was given from to us from either of our families it went to that person. Be it a Christmas/birthday gift or like my parents often, get new things and ask all the kids if any of us want the old item that still in good condition.

[20yearsolder]

Sounds perfect to me. Makes total sense

[Summeroflove]

Yikes... This really depends. In a perfect world we would not need such a thing. Not gaining weight... Yeah... I would not do that and if someone wanted me to do that I would not.

As you age you gain more weight so

[NathanDavis]

I plan to marry for the right reasons...

money concerns of this kind, won't be an issue for me

now, if she happens to come from an insanely wealthy family, then sure... I'll sign up whatever makes them feel at ease about it, lol

[D_Bone_Steak]

I've heard that prenups won't help you to keep your stuff. If she wants it, she's going to probably get it. I'm not a lawyer though... something to look into if you're considering it for real.

[PinkRose24]

Wait... there's prenups for things other than money? Lmao... I wouldn't want a prenup. Once you're married you become one. You share the same bank account. The money both of you make goes into that one bank account.

[MzAsh]

This is my attitude on prenups:

[Unit1]

Gotta say that was funny 😂😂😂

[MzAsh]

I love Seinfeld 😂

[genericname85]

absolutely. your trust and loyalty you had when marrying the person you loved at the time won't help you when you get fucked over when they leave you.

[BlueScorpio]

I didn't get one these so I don't know, if you're a man or woman with high assets then I guess you could get one.

[melanieeeB]

Yeah! Cause you never know how a mf turns out to be lol

[MCheetah]

If I were to ever get married, then hell yes!

[Chazmatazz269]

Prenups should be strictly upheld and mandatory. So should paternity testing.

[Bethany22]

I've heard that weight thing too. Guys are harsh

[Alltheflowers84]

Depends on how you and your partner view it. I think can go either way depending on their thoughts about the most important topics.

[Anonymous]

i am strongly for a prenup. what's mine is MINE, and what's your is YOURS.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Prenups are so so but a woman can't gain weight makes me feel different

[BJP21]

Not planning on going to war. Prenups keeps it civil and clean.

[Andres77]

Prenups around here are mostly based on property and other assets

[Pohjolan]

I'll have a prenup for my dog thank you very much.

[Iron_Man]

That’s completely up to the couple I don’t go into marriage thinking about that

[User3191989]

Yes. I realize that it means you think it'll fail but, better safe than sorry

[Anonymous]

It's a safety measure I need to have. Most divorced people didn't expect to be divorced. Why should I expect the same?

[LimitedBenefits101]

Prenup is very important for men but women hate it

[MementoMori_]

Hell yes. I have too much money to risk it.

[andreasderjuengere]

It's easier to just not marry.

[In_Trance]

Why bother getting married?

[Anonymous]

Definitely a yes.

[legalboxers]

fuck yes
