We’re only dating but I had been thinking about getting a prenup long before then to protect family assets. Those assets don’t feel like mine and not earned by me. I know it’s early but if it goes down that road I don’t want to have to say 5 years later. I’ve told him I’m happy to live without marriage or it will be aprenup. Don’t know how he’s taken it. I have to think about my future

It’s important to protect your assets.

I’m not sure he says he knows people do it in the celeb business to protect themsves and it’s set up for failure. He didn’t think about it before and wants time.
Give him time.
But your still doing the right thing

He said he doesn’t want my money. That’s fair enough. But the assets aren’t “mines” and that’s my argument.

I’m no expert about relationships but he’s probably thinking about it because he may want unconditional trust from you. Just my two pence.

I really don’t have that. It’s early days. But if it were to develop it’s to protect ourselves. He does it too. I’ve been thinking it for years though.

I see it from your point of view too @anon80629714 I know from an old thread where you wrote about your family’s holdings so still something to consider. Good luck to you. Best wishes!

I don’t earn much but my dad worked hard with all his disabilities with what he has. I’m not about to risk it. Plus if something were to happen I need something to fall back on I don’t get disability money I earn my living.
The guy probably earns way more and he doesn’t want anything from me but I can’t be that blind

It’s good to be smart. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders and you can never be too careful.

Have you researched ownership laws in your country? Here, anything you own before getting married stays yours after a divorce. Only mutually purchased goods can be fought over. I have no rights to the house my husband bought before we were married. It’s actually making it a pain to sell it.

I think you’re doing right to protect your family’s assets. People can grow apart and become disenchanted with each other.

Yes I talked it out with a solicitor. He said after two years he’d have right over half of everything even what I owned before marriage. This is UK. I thought the same as you but apparently that’s not the case.
