Did anyone here sign or ask their spouse to sign a prenup? How did you bring it up? Did it cause a lot of tension between you two?

I asked my husband to sign one before we got married. He was offended at first but I wanted us to have something in place to protect us both while we were in the right state of mind, rather than trying to fight over everything in the event of a divorce. I wanted to make sure if we divorced he wouldn’t try to come after my pre-existing assets since I don’t have family to fall back on, while he does. I think the initial tension was based on him thinking I wanted to get everything in the event of a divorce but once he realized it’s to protect both of us, he was onboard.

Yes, assets brought into the marriage can’t get split in the event of a divorce

Check out the book 'Prenups for Lovers'

Yes, and no issues. He knew I wouldn't get married without one for years before we talked about getting married.

When interviewers ask "Do you have any other offers?" or "Are you interviewing anywhere else?" How should I respond?
As a new grad I have literally filled out dozens of applications and did multiple multiple interviews so really I feel that I should keep it to myself. But I'm wondering how or if this should come into play for negotiating a good starting salary.

Is it me or does the newer generation value more intangible things that aren’t easily measured like work-life balance, fulfillment and purpose in work. Which makes it difficult for firms because that’s not something that is easily measured. Also, this is why there is “value” in crypto, NFTs and the metaverse. It’s a clash of the generations that value tangible things like money, houses, cars and one that values time, experiences, personal online image. Thoughts?

Asking for advice: Hi ladies, how do you tell your SO that you want private time with your friends/colleagues? For context, my SO and I have been living together for 2 years. He doesn’t have a lot of friends and is a quiet type. His current friends are all our mutual friends. We do enjoy spending time just us two a lot, especially during this pandemic. However, I do have a group of colleagues/friends that I’m close to and usually prefer to hang with them seperately. (cont. in comment)
