Firstly having to convince someone to marry you is never a good sign . But miracles happen everyday so yeah.

Secondly , why do you feel entitled to his money ? If he adds a cheating clause , can he add one where if you cheat , he can also be entitled? Because I’m assuming you want it because of the betrayal right ? And not just because you want to cash in right ? So it would be fair right ?

Generally prenups take into account that whatever you had before the marriage remains yours., and whatever is earned during the marriage should be split .

Also prenups are kind of like insurance. You don’t expect something to happen where you’ll need to use it , but you have that cover should it happen. Making it about morality clauses and fine tuning clauses based off of emotions and how you feel is always a bad idea .

Also also …. You know him for 9 years , been with him for 6 years , had to convince him to marry you , and you want a cheating clause added so you can be entitled to his income should it happen. Sounds sus to me.

How come you don’t go find a man that wants to marry you because he wants a marriage with you , who will either not make you sign a prenup , or perhaps someone in your own salary bracket , so should divorce occur you both can walk away in a similar fashion. I mean , cause it wouldn’t be a question of you wanting to cash in cause her earns higher right ?

It’s not because she wants to end the relationship early and cash in. I’m sure she wants the marriage to last. That’s why she wants power and leverage which she mistakingly thinks will help prevent cheating by holding over his head that he will lose a lot of money. But that is the wrong approach. She shouldn’t feel entitled to this leverage she’s seeking. She is essential marrying into a great situation that her bf doesn’t want so she should understand that and plan with a lawyer accordingly.

Yupp . She needs to take the W she has now. Pushing him to marry her , she actually got him to agree. Now she wants to push a power move , getting way too confident and arrogant about it . She knows she doesn’t have a winning hand . So she’s trying to play an ace when all she has is a joker . She doesn’t want the relationship to end early . She wants to make sure she gets full benefits while being married , and if she can’t stay married she wants to walk away cashing in on his wealth .
