Holy shit /biz/, I really fucking owe you people one. So about two years ago I met this girl at work (this was right out of college so it wasn't a career job by any means, but it was something). We hit it off and got along well. She had a steady income but I was making considerably more than her. A few months after I met her I doubled my salary at my new job.

So fast forward about a year and six months and I pop the question. The wedding was to be had in May of this year. About the first week of March however, I was on here reading about prenups. I read that divorces can be seriously messy and I have an above average net worth (~$1.3mil). To protect my assets I asked her to sign a prenup. At first, she almost called off the wedding but I told her it's only to protect each other (which was a full lie, it was to cover my fucking ass). So in May we were married and had a great time. Fast forward two months and she cheated on me with a guy she found on Facebook. At first I was furious since I thought it was going to be a fucking downhill adventure, but after talking with my lawyer I found out that prenup covered my entire ass, and I would barely lose anything from this ordeal. My lawyer said that had I not signed that prenup, I would have been out on the streets with the fees and everything.

In court she was with her new lover, he looked like a stoner, which made me even feel better. I walked away and it was nearly the best day of my life, I decided to take a Vegas trip to celebrate and won over $25k, which covered the entirety of the fees.

A fucking piece of paper will save your ass. I swear, don't think "you found the one", 40%–50% of all first marriages will end in divorce. I don't care about feelings much, but those are statistics on fucking paper. I'm not going to wager my entire life earnings for it to be on the edge for 50%.

It will be hard telling her to sign it, but had I not signed that paper, I wouldn't be under a roof right now.

I doubt I'd ever marry a guy in the first place, let alone someone I don't like just to steal their money. This one time a guy 30 years older than me tried to leverage financial worth to get my interest. I thought about it and was totally grossed out by the idea I might get trapped in a relationship with a senior.

Just dating seems so much better in every way ...

But not because of her taking all your money. More like losing it all paying lawyers so you can try and keep her from getting it. Those jew bastards are worse then the cheating bitches when it comes to taking a man's money. Trust me on that.

Good advice though. I wish I would have had one myself, even though I wasn't worth shit really, but it really would have stuck it in her ass to not get a dime from me. I was left with noting because not only did she try to take all my things (even the shit she only wanted because it was something I liked, cold bitch), but the lawyer expenses....and I went through 3 of those fucks and not a damn one didn't anything they were paid for.

So much this. To ensure that I'll have a successful marriage I have used subtle psychological manipulation with my current gf into making her completely agree to sign a prenup (at first she was put off but I told her that I didn't want our marriage to be about money but about love, also I said I just think people should be allowed to keep what they had before a marriage, and told her to give me a logical reason why it shouldn't be so, protip she couldn't). Also, and I have sugarcoated it so fucking much because this is REALLY tricky territory, but I've effectively instilled the idea of "if you get fat I leave you" in her head.

Be a man and set down the line, gents.

Girl plz...

Good on you OP. Money is a very touchy thing. I have about 2.6 million in investments. You wouldn't know it though since I live modestly. Don't get me wrong I'm not frugal or anything but I don't spend like a mofo.

My last gf somehow found out. I have no fucking clue how though. I must have been logged in while I went out to do an errand or something(she has a key).


It was plain as day because usually she was distant, I had to try and do everything. Bit yeah I come back and all of a sudden she's ALL lovey dovey. That part was nice. It's when she started trying to live the high life on my dime that was disappointing. She started booking vacations, high end restaurants etc suddenly. I usually covered our outings but that was just off the deep end. I confronted her, even though I knew the answer , and she simply stated "your rich you should treat me a bit better instead of hoarding"

Dumped her there and then.

>> No.442981

>>442875
I was lucky.

I have an annuity worth a little over $1M, spread out over the rest of my life.

Got married in 2010. 9 months later, discovered she was sleeping with one of my good friends. Didn't sign a prenup. (Looking back, I was kind of beta, living in a real town, and she had huge tits and a mediocre face. I thought that was the best that I could do).

Fortunately, since she and my friend went off to date for a while, she didn't press for my things and I was able to pay her off with the $9500 car I bought for her.

This time, however, I won't be so flippant. I'll make sure to wait at least 2 years before even popping the question (we're 1 year into it). Prenup is a must, but I have a way to ease the pain of that conversation... letting her know that while I love her dearly, marriages end, and I have proof! Thus there is no way I would get married a second time without one.

However, I haven't brought this conversation up with her yet. I'm not looking forward to that moment.

>> No.442984

I just don't see why people can't be honest with each other. Like that whole idea that a girl only loves you if she's with you when you act like a loser, but doesn't love you if she knew you were rich.

It's more common than you think. Try giving a proposition to someone that they wouldn't normally agree with but nod your head while you say it. Most likely they will agree. People like to mimic one another and doing this will increase your chances of them agreeing with you. There's many other forms of manipulation like the Ben Franklin effect. It's good to be well versed in these just to be able to pick up on them when they are used against you.

40%-50% of marriages end in divorce because people follow the story that's in their heads, not acting and reacting to reality. arranged marriages that are the union of two powerful families have the highest success rate because both parties understand that a relationship is work and that love is something that grows, not that happens.

Only as much as they could any other contract.

I remember Wipe explaining it once, he had his lawyer write shit up, the girl had her lawyer check it over and they negotiated a few points or whatever before signing, so it was obvious they both agreed on shit.

If it's some stupid shit like "if we split the cunt gets nothing" with a pair of signatures then yeah, it isn't worth the paper you scrawled it on.

Do your research though, shit would vary between states, etc.

In a divorce, assets aren't distributed by the two parties. They're distributed by a judge according to his judgement. Marriage is legal binding of two people and it can only be unbound by a judge. He will read your pre-nup, and if he's in a good mood and the pre-nup looks reasonable, he will say that he sees no reason to vary from the pre-nup, and issue orders for things to be split up accordingly.

But your agreement with your signatures on in is absolutely not binding on the judge. It's merely a record that you and your wife have agreed on certain terms, and you are requesting that the judge follow them.

Most states have an arbitration process whereby you go to court to argue over how to split up the assets. If you sign a reasonable pre-nup, then you skip all the lawyer and court costs associated with arguing over every piece of property that you own.

However, if you think that getting a woman to sign a one-sided agreement whereupon you keep everything and she gets nothing is going to hold up, you are sorely mistaken.
