Pre-nup before getting married?

Australia
March 1, 2012 8:25pm CST
Situation is: Your trusted boyfriend proposed for marriage,then a month after you said 'yes' to his proposal, he said that he wont marry you unless you sign his pre-nuptial agreement..How will you react to that after you give up everything for him? Is he even worth risking for?

princess051585 I would want to ask why he wants a pre-nup. Personally I don't like the idea..it sets up mistrust from the beginning. Too bad he didn't make his views known before he proposed..or could it be someone else is urging him to have the pre-nup. In Cal anything before a marriage that is not comingled is not community property...that should be enough in my opinion.

I don't like the idea too. Asking me to sign it means he doesn't trust me.He is asking for pre nup as an insurance that he wont lose whatever he have right now when it comes to a time we divorce.It's like an insurance for a property.It's his parents idea anyway because they are racist and they think they have of greater value than Asians. They are Maltese but living in Australia.He's divorced with 1 son and I think he's a mama's boy.

Nothing is wrong with it I presume. I think it is clear that this is clear that you just married each other because of love not with money. If you're just marrying him because of money, then that would be a lose in your part. Money is just money. I can still earn it.

Well he doesn't have much money to begin with. If the reason to marry him is for money, I have the wrong man.I'm in relationship with him for love but I'm thinking if I will be happy for the rest of my life living with a man who doesn't trust me?

I wouldn't sign any legal paper such as prenup without getting a lawyer's opinion so he's been hurt before, is that your fault? nope. it's good that he is now protecting his interest but you also need to protect yours and make sure this is in the prenup

What is that pre-nuptial agreement? I haven't heard of that.

No he is not worth the risk. But if you do consider to give it a try make a very long pre-nuptial agreement yourself and let him sign first!

I think that there is nothing wrong with pre-nuptial agreement. If you want to marry your boyfriend because you love him and not his money.
