If you love him you will understand and respect that he wants to protect what he has built before you. Just because he wants one does not mean he doesn't love you. Just means you have to see that the world is made of situations that don't always work out perfect. Even when you think they will. It is just a fact of life.

I would be willing to sign one, and think they should be standard. But both parties need to sign one, to protect the interests of both. It's all very well being starry eyed and saying, "I am not marrying him for his money," but unfortunately break-ups happen and they can get nasty. I'm sure none of those in that situation expected that to happen, but it did. What is brought into a marriage, plus inherited, is different to what you build together, and the other party should not have a claim to it (only what is built together), but unfortunately the law might not see it that way; hence the prenuptial agreement.
I don't come from money either, but what my partner would bring into the marriage I don't feel I have any claim on it, and I would sign the prenuptial agreement to show I believe this. But, as I wrote, he needs to sign one too.

Every man or woman with sizeable assets should protect themselves before marriage. This isn't the age of our grandparents anymore. "Until death do us part" has become "until I get bored, my expectations haven't been met and I'm done with all this so you owe me half of my part"
First off, he never ever wants to lose you, hence he's marrying you. He loves you more than anyone on the planet. By chance he does lose you, he really doesn't want to lose everything else on top of that. I would just sign the papers and live happily ever after.

You marry him.
Two years plus a day you file for divorce,and despite you not putting a single penny into his homes,whatever value rise of his homes-you get half.
That could very well be well into the 6 figures. He may not have that cash,so he'd have to take out mortgages,or sell a place,and likely retire several years later.

This is the situation with common law relationships as well...but don't even need to be married nor even living together full time.

This is just one of the reasons marriage rates have crashed,and the sugar daddy/escort business is so huge.

If you're not marrying for money, why do you care about signing the pre-nup? The pre-nup ensures that the marriage is about love, not money.

I understand your discomfort but think about this - People who come from money think differently about it than the rest of us. My moneyed friend thinks nothing of charging her husband to use her downtown parking space! I'm stunned at that! Sounds like he loves you enough to marry you - he's just protecting the family assets just in case.

I woulds get a clause put in saying the prenup is invalid if you break up because of another party. i.e.: he's cheating.

Marriage in many parts of the world still is about the business and not the love. It's about survival for them. If it's not about the money for you, then sign the prenup. I get why you're upset but when you look at the statistics, he's just being smart. You should be smart too and make sure you have a lawyer look at that prenup to ensure you're protected too. It's not romantic but marriage isn't about romance. Sorry.

Perhaps do some research on the history of marriage. It's not what you think.

Smart man your soon to be husband is.
