I would sign one, no problem. when Jeff and I split.. I left with just my clothes and personal items.. ( photos, family mementos).. he even got my dog because I could not find a place that would let me keep him..
a couple of years later, his mother called me and requested that I sign over my half of the house so that Jeff could use it to bail his oldest son out of jail..I couldn't get to that lawyers office fast enough..

I believe we live in a changing world..........and situations change......people change. What has love and marriage got to do with protecting oneself. It is my belief........that it doesnt mean that one is dooming a marriage to fale if one signs a prenup........it is just like an insurance.....like you insure your car....IN CASE OF THE WORST EVENTUATING......it might not be from your side........but the other partner. We see no harm in taking out insurance when it comes to anyting else in life. Businesses do it all the time with mergers and what not. It certainly doesnt mean there is any less love.......if a prenup is signed on one side or both sides. I think that both parties are making each other safe. Thats how I feel.
Thats why we insure each other.....in case of sudden death or bodily harm or such.

I would definitely sign one without a problem depending on what it stipulates. If it stipulates I am not entitled to anything he had previous to our union, I don't have a problem with it. Anything outside of that,

Yes I would sign one. Let's face it I never thought either of my two marriages would end but they did. Sure you NEVER think about divorce when you are planning your wedding but it does happen. But it can happen.

Teddy - between 2 ex husbands I passed out $1.1MM in real estate equity. The last one 'retired' with a hefty pension and refused to work the last six years.
Instead, I worked TWO jobs and managed the 4 kids, all the paperwork, housework, etc. The stress level was so high that I actually developed severe Type II diabetes -- the only one in my family, not overweight, etc.
When split time came (and yes, it was because he refused to contribute at all) he tried to get me for alimony & post separation support... because hey, he hadn't been working! He quickly sold off all of his premarital assets immediately after we split up before the divorce stuff got going. He also slid about $750k out of the 'family funds' during the 17 yr marriage and hid them. (I'll be finished tracking down where they went shortly and will go back to court.)
There is no way in hell that I would EVER get married again without a pre-nup. I'm too flipping old to start over with zero AGAIN.
I told one guy that I dated -- who was worth $10-12 million -- that he would be an IDIOT to not require a pre-nup.
Just because you had the integrity to not request anything you weren't entitled to doesn't mean that 99% of the people out there are the same way.

If that scenario were to occur, I'd sign in a hearbeat! I can see no downside to clarification and an upside to learning to communicate clearly. It can be a premarital test in 'working' through issues together.

Well said SALLY!..........I consider a prenup ESSENTIAL in this day and age. If people dont want one.......through the old school way of thinking........then if they get *bitten*........they will have to learn the hardway like many have done.

I think that if either has a substantial amount of money or possessions that you dont want to ever lose, aka business house ect....i think a prenup is absolutely appropriate, especially the way the value of marriage has declined. which in my opinion is much like shoes these days.
