Should I be offended that my boyfriend wants a prenup? He earns $230K/year and I'm in law school and make nothing, but will earn a high income down the road. The Moneyist weighs in:

My boyfriend recently made a jump in his career and makes around $230,000 a year. I am in my last year of law school and make nothing. He recently told me that when we get married he wants a prenuptial agreement.

It is possible to be realistic and romantic, optimistic and pragmatic, assertive and sensitive. These approaches or qualities are not mutually exclusive, and I don’t believe you should overreact to his suggestion, particularly given the differences in your current circumstances . “ Prenups outline a blueprint for a possible divorce, but can also set the expected standards for the marriage itself. ”

According to Hekmat Law & Mediation, “If financial discussions or prenup negotiations do end with a breakup, you may want to consider that it wasn’t the prenup itself, but the reluctance or inability to be honest, transparent and respectful about money matters,” the law firm says.

No don’t be offended he’s doing it to protect himself in the event over time your feelings change about him and marriage which happens close to 55% of the time.

Shouldnt be able to get a marriage license without one.

If you need a pre nup then you are trying to marry the wrong person.

If I were her, I'd feel the same way. But I'm more like Quentin and I'd likely give the same advice to friends.

good

you're in law school and ask this question? Find another boyfriend AND a different career.

You are going to be a lawyer. You could make him wish he was never born. 🤣

Make $230k a year but fake poverty by surviving on a fraction of it. This filters out greedy bitches. Sign up for paperless (green) correspondence with your broker and bank. Few understand this. MasculinitySaturday

Refusing prenup it's a huge gold digger red flag. You might date such useless parasite girls but never get married. The guy should walk away immediately before it's too late

Must really be LOVING each other! Yours be your Man's, your Man's, be yourS!

Yes, the fact that you are seeking financial advice on a moral issue shows you’re either immature or clueless.

this is terrible news

My advice is to remain single.

No make him sign one too. Put in a housework and childcare clause in there too. Add online porn clauses too.

nice

Could it be her choice of professions the duration of most of today's marriages causing this legal protection racket which is only as good as a lawyer draws up? 🤔.sign the prenuptial remove all doubt it's love don't and don't get married lose a 230k man. Good luck to you both!

Date longer. Planning for the end is no way to have a begining.

Sometimes the partner supporting the one going through school is concerned they are being used for their support now and may not be supported equally as a partner when things are equal

No tengo problema alguno con las capitulaciones matrimoniales. Se evitan problemas y malentendidos. Además, ahora con tanto divorcio, mejor todo claro desde el día 1. Pero lo adquirido después de casados sí debe ser común.

As most marriages end in divorce, he definitely should 👍🏻

Different perspective- why should he not get offended that you won’t sign one. No harm no foul.

Dump him

Reverse the roles, would you want him to sign one? That will answer your question.

I figure if you have to ask that question, then that’s a sign that you shouldn’t sign it.

“High income”? As a lawyer? In the age of AI and automation? Good luck.

Get the prenup. I never know, you might get more money and he turns out to be a trunp suporter and have to dump him inmediatly

Don't get married.

Asking a bunch of liberals for the right to be offended 😂😂😂 GET A PRENUP
