Well, it depends on how you see a prenup. I agree it doesn't sound romantic
but they say prenups are made to protect what you have earned while single and some family properties you inherited before you get married, so what's scary in that. If a guy who wants to marry me, just want to protect their family heirloom.. I don't see any problem in that.
Of course you marry for love, with all the hopes and dreams. We all wish to stay with our partners for better and worse, forever.
We don't have any divorce here in our country so I see couples trying to patch things up as much as possible. But for a country where divorce is normal, all couples started -- loving each other and building their dreams together. Nobody wants to start a marriage thinking it will end soon. Its the "what if" thing. What if after 10 years, a couple drifted apart. Not because of a third party, but because of mutual agreement that they cannot live together anymore. Divorce is emotionally painful enough for both.
It will be more painful to fight over properties. Some say prenuptial agreements are signs that your partner doesn't trust you. But you see, nobody knows how a person will react during divorce. You are not even sure how a person will act after you get married. So prenups in a way, protects both parties not just the one who initiated it.
But I agree prenuptial agreements are not for everyone. Its a case to case basis for some. For me, before I react violently I will try to read the prenuptial agreement if my future husband offers me one. It might be reasonable and a good thing for me too. I guess it really depends on what is written there. Plus, if you don't agree, you can always tell your partner what you want and not want in agreement too.
If you don't want a prenup, then a compromise between parties can happen if you really love each other.
For now, I am single and no offers of marriage haha
. So I don't know if I will sign one or not. Anything can happen in the future.
Someone might make me so deliriously happy, I will sign everything haha. Things can go wrong too, wrong timing, wrong delivery of the prenuptial agreement - hence no agreement. Or maybe I'll get married without one. One never knows hehe.
One way or another, I hope you get a decent man or woman with or without the prenup and live happily ever after... shrek
