Add the clause

"Cheating clause" is very hard to define - i.e., physical or emotional, penetration or any physical contact, etc etc etc.
I'd think it though very thoroughly before putting it in a contract to make sure it's enforceable.

He’s protecting himself and you should do the same!

If you need to add a cheating clause, you probably shouldn't be getting married imo. Feels more like a business transaction than a marriage at this point.

LOL. Marriage is not a mystical soulmate thing. It IS a business transaction.
I understand why you want to do it, but personally I think that financially incentivizing someone to be faithful to you is worse than not. If they are going to cheat, you’re either reconciling or splitting up. Shouldn’t be made worse because they (or you!) cheated — since, often, it’s a symptom of a relationship decline vs the cause. Not sure if this is well articulated, but putting it out there. (FYI - have a prenup - needed on my side because of family money and his side because he makes a lot more than me. No kids, no cheating clause. He cheated once very early in the relationship and I trust him completely, but even if he were to cheat again, it woudlnt matter in terms of the long term, and I wouldn’t want more of his money for it.)
I would definitely add a cheating clause if he’s asking for a prenup.
You can add it but they are very difficult to enforce. I would definitely meet with a lawyer, it varies by state. In California these clauses are not worth the paper they're written on. That being said, there could be an effect simply from your fiancé *believing* it's a part of the prenup.

Just here to say ALWAYS get a prenup. It’s literally NEVER a bad idea.

Why does he want a prenup? Is there a big difference in assets?

Oof, doesn’t exactly seem like a marriage destined for greatness...

Calm down. You’re judging me just as much if not more. Not a great look there yourself.
Seriously, how is what you’re saying any different?!

Ahaha if I ever get married I’ll keep this in mind!
And pets! Also get an irrevocable trust and put your larger assets in it. No one is getting a cent of my consulting dollars.
