PRE-NUP

QUESTION: WOULD YOU SIGN A PRE-NUP BEFORE GETTING MARRIED? WHY OR WHY NOT?
THAT ONE IS EASY, HELL NO. IF SOMEONE WANTED ME TO SIGN A PRE-NUP THEN APPARENTLY THEY DO NOT TRUST ME OR KNOW ME AND THEREFORE SHOULD NOT BE MARRYING ME TO BEGIN WITH.
I HAVE ALWAYS REALLY HATED THE FACT THAT WE EVEN HAVE PRE-NUPS. I FEEL LIKE IF YOU SIGN A PRENUP, YOU ARE ALREADY SAYING THE MARRIAGE IS GOING TO FAIL.

MARRIAGE IS NOT A CONTRACT, IT IS A RELATIONSHIP OF LOVE, TRUST, AND COMPASSION FOR ANOTHER PERSON.
YES, I HAVE BEEN MARRIED SEVERAL TIMES, THESE WERE STUPID THINGS THAT I DID PARTIALLY OUT OF BEING IMMATURE, BUT MOSTLY OUT OF HAVING AN ABUSIVE LIFE AND LOOKING FOR LOVE. THANK GOD, I NO LONGER FEEL THAT I HAVE TO BE WITH SOMEONE TO BE HAPPY. TOOK ME A LOT OF PAIN AND HURT TO FIND THAT OUT, BUT AT THIS POINT, AS MUCH AS I MISS COMPANIONSHIP, I DONT FEEL THAT I WOULD EVER RUSH BACK INTO A MARRIAGE AGAIN. THE ONLY THING I GOT OUT OF MY MARRIAGES ARE MY FOUR GREAT SONS.
ANYWAY, I HAD NO MONEY, I DIDNT MARRY INTO MONEY, AND WE SPLIT PRETTY MUCH WITH WHAT WE CAME INTO THE RELATIONSHIP WITH.
IF I HAD MONEY, WOULD I ASK FOR A PRE-NUP? PROBABLY NOT, BUT I WOULD ALSO MAKE DAMN SURE THAT I COULD TRUST THE PERSON I WAS MARRYING AND THAT IT WAS GENUINE, IF IT WASNT, THEN I GUESS I WOULD LOSE WHAT I HAD.
SO ANYWAY, WHAT WOULD YOU DO? I WILL EVEN WIDEN THE QUESTION, WOULD YOU MARRY FOR MONEY?

Second question first... No, I would not marry for money. Actually, don't think I'd ever remarry if something happened to my husband/marriage. Once in a life is enough. No, no prenup, but then, when you don't have much, there's not much to lose....
Good to see you around again!
I've never had enough or known anyone with enough to even worry about signing a prenup. I don't have a whole lot of thoughts on the subject one way or another. I guess if I cared enough about someone, and signing one would make them feel better about marrying, maybe I'd do it. I know love is blind, and you can't always trust how you feel about someone, so I can see how someone might want reassurance. Maybe. Faced with the actual situation, I might feel different. Thing is, I don't think most pre-nups even hold up in an actual divorce situation. I think a good lawyer can find ways around them.
Oh, and if I had loads of money, at my age, I probably would not marry anyone.
No to marrying for money and no prenup either. I marry on the basis of trust and if that's not there, I could give a hoot less about the rest. Plain and simple. LOL
I doubt it...but if I was going to marry a billionaire and he wanted me to sign it, I can see why he'd ask.
