How do you feel about prenups? I have heard of them destroying relationships between fiances but I really want to maybe do one with mine. But not at the risk of the relationship!

I would never get married at this point without a pre-nup. If it’s that big of a deal to my fiancé, then they aren’t the right person for me.

Why would taking steps to protect both of you in the event things go wrong destroy the relationship? It’s like saying if we buy insurance we’re planning on dying/crashing/whatever. It’s just in case for your mutual benefit. Do it.

I brought it up on the first date, so my fiancé wasn’t surprised when I had him reviewing terms just days after he bought the ring.

The negative impacts from my lawyer-less, childless, no fault divorce in 2009 (after a whole 30 months of marriage) are seemingly infinite. I would do just about anything to avoid exacerbating or adding to that pain, so a pre-nup is a non-negotiable requirement.

I think you should do one. No one gets married with the intention of divorce. But if ever it happens you will be relieved you protected your assets.

I will never legally bind myself to a romantic partner, seems extremely foolish. But if I were going to, I would only do so with a prenup. I'm not betting my family legacy in the whims of some bed partner.

If I get married again, I will 100% be doing a prenup. My high school sweetheart marriage destroyed my finances. Luckily, I had much less money back then.

I cannot for the life of me think of the source but I read somewhere that marriages w prenups often last longer because it shows the couple can have hard conversations and navigate conflict

Prenups aren't just about protecting assets. They're about open communication, transparency and planning for the future. It's like having a financial roadmap for your marriage, ensuring you're both on the same page about finances even if things don't work out as planned.

I honestly think that prenups are a good idea and I wish I had the sense to do one in my first marriage. I got totally screwed in my last marriage and a prenup would have saved my rear. I would highly recommend anyone do a prenup.

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.

I love my SO. We’ve been together for nearly a decade and are talking marriage. I know being with him though will require living far from my family. I love my family and dread the thought of being far from them. My SO has been transparent about wanting to return to his home country. I don’t want to lose him but I also dread being far from my family. What’s the right call here? Fwiw he’s lived in my home country for about a decade now but has been able to visit his pretty easily (cont)

I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

I know this isn’t a marriage therapy bowl, but my husband has a really terrible tendency of saying things like “you’re being really mean” and completely shutting down during a disagreement when i objectively am not being mean, just truthful or vocal about how i feel about something. It’s a really convenient argument for him because it enables him to either be the victim and me the villian, or forces me to concede my stance and not reach a true resolution. Any tips on dealing with the irrational?
