Especially if he is not going to not sign nothing, or is that something?

Marriage is just a legal contract anyway. Whats one more like a prenup.
YES
If she had some serious cash, and you didn't, bet yer arse SHE would make YOU sign one


some women look at marriage as a temporary investment, don't take a chance
if its meant to be then that prenup will never be needed,

So the idea of a prenup already killed one relationship... and it is about to kill another?

As I recall from his first relationship thread, OP isn't a native speaker of English. I think he and his gf were Asian.

OP, nobody proposes to someone they've only known a few months, or not usually. I know there are some members here who got married in a whirlwind romance type of situation, but the conventional wisdom is to wait until you know the person really well. This wisdom is very appropriate for you.

Just forget about the whole thing, go back to the drawing board, and for heaven's sake, don't be in such a rush to get married! And why not look for women who are closer to your professional bracket? You might find more compatibility there, and less throwing up.

Maybe I'm just imagining it, but somehow I get the idea that you wouldn't be comfortable with a woman who makes good money, and is closer to your equal. You seem to keep fishing for these types that you can feel superior to, and browbeat with your prenup requirement.

OP, if the above is true, you're having these conversations entirely too early in your relationships. Good grief!

He should consult with someone who has watched every episode of Boston Legal and considers himself a student of the law (like a friend of the court), but without the requisite law degree. That person will charge less and enable the OP to safeguard more of his assets for when a marriage (or not) takes place.

Yes ... the support, suggestions and tough love that forum members provide to those seeking answers should at least bump us up into another tax bracket. But we do not seek any personal gain ... we do it because we have computers and smart phones and like to help those who are reaching out.

How much of that do you believe?

Approximately 3% of it. I think most of us are either bored, filling time between tasks at work, or procrastinating.
