Opinions please.
A friend of mine and his fiancee broke up over the weekend because of a disagreement with a prenuptial. So I started wondering whether or not it would be right for me.
Advice, opinions, recommendations are all welcome.

I think that anyone who has a problem with a prenuptial agreement actually has problems with 1) being a leeching whore, and/or 2) insecurity. Seriously, why the fuck wouldn't a sensible human being get one? | |

unless one of them is incredibly more wealthy than the other and/or they have only been together a very short time then its kinda pointless. | |

If either of you are pretty well off, it's reasonable. If both parties are pretty independent it still makes sense to sort out who had what. | |

I'm kinda surprised by the majority saying no. I'm obviously young and stupid, but you never know what could happen shouldn't you hedge yourself against an unpredictable future? | |

If I had money I would consider one. I don't, so it's not an issue. Also, my finances are already so intertwined that it would be too late anyways. |

it's against my beliefs to get one and i hope i never get asked to get one because that would mean i failed to create a trusting relationship. | |

depends 100 % on the situation, any other answer seems naive. If you're a millionaire on marriage 4, get a pre nup. I would never have considered one with my wife. | |

don't bother. Most people here don't have the kind of money required to protect anyway. Anything you do while married cannot be placed in the prenup anyway, they are only for pre marriage assets anyway. If you win the WSOP after getting married, she gets half, since she was "at your side" while you were there, and most women without the family background of big money, never understand the reasoning. | |

I read a study that said 100% of couples they asked acknowledged that over 50% of marriages fail, yet 90% of them said the chance of their marriage failing was 0%. |

Actually I think the major point of most prenups is generally to change the allocation of salary (or at least a percentage of it) from community to separate property. | |

I think it's retarded to hell to associate the amount of trust in a relationship to whether or not you should get a pre-nup. 1. If you didn't trust the bitch, there would be no relationship, and 2. Of course you'll trust her UNTIL she tries to take off with half of your shit. | |

if you have lots of assets, absolutely 100% yes. | |

errr just read the actual poll.. if you're going into the thing with near equal income and assets, there's really no reason to. | |

Prenups are only good for the super rich. Unless you have 1 million sitting in a bank account they are most likely not needed. Good luck for those trying to find a fiancee who will sign a prenup, they will laugh their asses off and leave in a jiffy. | |

Baby, if you truly love me and know we're gonna be together forever, sign this saying I get allllllllllll your shit if we break up. If you don't sign it, it's like saying you think we're gonna get a divorce and you have no faith in our relationship or trust in me. | |

If you think you need a pre nup, then you are marrying the wrong person. | |

I don't think anyone should ever get married. We're all much better off doing all of the married stuff without the paperwork. | |

Ok there might be a little gap between 'enough money to make a prenup worthwhile' and 'rich' where the above apples, but you get the idea. | |

The obvious decision is to practice mate selection more carefully. I don't think I could ever be with someone who didn't acknowledge the transient nature of love or future unknowns. | |
