Real talk...why is the Prenup taboo?

This may be a dumb question, but what happens if one side in a marriage refuses to divorce and says that their vows said "til death do us part" and say their going to honor that.

Their really doing it to avoid giving their wife half of everything but they press that til death do us part line and refuse to agree to a divorce.
 
I've dated men who made less than me and I've dated men who made more. One guy made triple my salary. If that had progressed, I considered if I would have done it to prove I was only there for him. I never thought of it for the one who made less. In that case I was willing to help out.

Even without a prenup, I couldn't just take what isn't mine ,unless , it wasn't just about me.

Let me say this,

I'm probably never going to get married with how I feel about relationships anyway but ...if I get married , it's because I'm going to have a family or bring a child into this world. I'll think in the best interests of them. That person had better be the type to do the right thing, regardless.

Those who are asked to sign a prenup feel like their spouse is expecting failure, doesn't trust them, or isn't willing to commit to the marriage 100%

Holler @ DC word on the  street is she single too. 
 
I dunno man, I feel if you put it out there in the universe to expect failure with a prenup, the higher the likelihood. There's already something sitting in your subconscious that's a truth that's a negative to the relationship that you're ignoring for now, hoping that clause will protect you. I say dig deep and figure that out. A 2nd marriage on though is fine, because there's a history.

But people change. Divorce changes people even more. When it gets bitter, you're gonna say f you, I'm gonna take his guy for as much as I can.
 
Everybody is human meaning everybody is capable of making a terrible choice no matter how much you evaluate them before marriage and think they won't do anything and that you guys are truly in love. Like many things, get the insurance. Better to sort things out when you are in love then when you hate each other.

Soooooo....she should have no problem signing it.
 
It's mainly women who don't want to sign them, because everyone knows the system is rigged in their favor, and that they can get a lot of money out of you in a divorce. 

Also remember 70% of divorces are initiated by women. 
 
I think we live in an interesting point in time. The world has gotten far more complex, and the idea of marriage hasn't adapted along with it.

Marriage fundamentals were established during a time when:

-Men were traditionally always the head of households.

-Women were generally stay at home's.

-Infidelity was looked down upon but it was acceptable for a man to have affairs with other women so long as he handled business as the head of household.

-People didn't travel globally/internationally. The internet didn't exist. Therefore access to good P was limited to whoever was in your neighborhood.

It's a relatively recent phenomenon where women equality in the work force is become more and more of a reality, travel is common, cell phones exist, and the internet is always there to remind you that P is ready and waiting.

We live in different times, where the tradition of marriage just doesn't apply anymore. Temptation is there more than ever and women are just as ambitious as men now.

Pre-nups to me make sense now and I think the next generation it will be the norm.
 
It don't matter how much I love my girl before the marriage a pre-nup is a must.

Even if I don't make as much as her, i'd still have her sign mine and i'll sign hers.

If money ain't an issue then sign the damn paper.
 
I never got the logic of "we're not millionaires so we don't need one". It's not just about money. If you have any shared assets with a spouse (house, car, etc), you risk losing something no matter how much its worth. The pre-nup just handles the logistics of splitting it.

Even if the higher paid partner is giving spousal support to the lower paid partner, a pre-nup can limit what is given, the period of time, and any other stipulations (partner got remarried, makes a lot more, etc) You don't risk the courts giving you some outlandish number.

Also helps with kids. Before your marriage, you can set custody to be 50/50 if you guys ever split. No risk of only having "every other weekend" visitations.

It's not like the contract can't be reworked during your marriage either.
 
Because by having a prenup agreement, you are acknowledging there's a strong possibility your marriage will fail.

by that logic by having any type of insurance means my house will get broken into, my car will be totaled, I'll die early, etc. etc. If you're not marrying someone for their money that they made themselves then what exactly is the problem of signing?
