Would you sign one? Would you marry someone who asked you to sign one?

I would never sign one. Even after I went through a bad divorce with my first marriage, and I am married now to a man who also had a bad divorce, we both agreed not to have a prenuptial agreement. In my mind, this says, I will only stay with you until it gets bad, then I will leave under certain conditions. Every marriage has good times and bad times. When you say your vows you promise to stay together and work through both. My first husband is the one who wanted the divorce as was his first wife. For the two of us, we want to work things out always the best we can. On January 25, 2007 it will be our 4th wedding anniversary.

It was our 4th wedding anniversary on the 23rd December :) My husband signed the pre nup really to prove to my kids that he would always have their best interest at heart. I had a lot of assets, he had virtually none other than a good job. He wanted to prove to the kids that he would not do to them, what their father had already done.

What if what he wanted you to sign did not protect you fairly if he cheats on you?

I used to say that a prenup was a way of saying "Welll I'll marry you but this is just in case you screw me over and we won't live happily ever after", so I was against him. As I got older I realized that a prenup wouldn't just be about me, it would be about my children and protecting their futures as well. So now looking at prenups, I think they really will come in handy for some people.

Thats exactly what my situation was. I remarried and I had a lot of assets. New husband had left all his assets with his ex wife. My new husband insisted on a prenup to protect me and my children and to prove to them that he wasnt a gold digger.
