    Would you ever sign one or ask your s/o other to sign one? Discuss.

    If I was filthy rich and actually had something worth losing, yes. Why not protect yourself?

    What if the tables were turned? If she has lots of money, would you sign one?

    That's fine and dandy, but if you wouldn't sign one, wouldn't you ultimately be divorcing her for her money?

    But really, do any of you find prenups to be necessary for the middle class folk? Would you want to keep your assets strictly yours? Or what about debt? Would you want previous debt to come into the motion of things? Does this make sense?

    Edit to add: What about having signing a prenup to protect family heirlooms?

    I would sign one, or not sign one, depending on my financial status. Im not that romantic about marriage. I feel that it's purely practical. I dont NEED to get married. Though I WANT to do it vegas style.

    Only if I were marrying Cate. She seems like a gold-digging ballbuster.

    Just sayin'.

    If I were to sign one and I was the poorer of the spouses, I would request to get something financially out of it but just not half. I think it would be only fair, especially if a lot of time was put into the marriage.

    Actually, I lied; I would not sign one. I think I would be extremely insulted.

    No. It would be an insult to my honor.

    i really see no reason not to, although i don't think i would actually be the one to bring it up unless i was extremely rich and i was marrying a blatant gold-digger. but actually, even in that case i probably wouldn't because then she wouldn't marry me in the first place, and if i was trying to marry a blatant gold-digger it would probably be because she is amazingly hot and i wouldn't want to throw away the honeymoon sex just for several million dollars.

    I don't think I would get involved with someone who would spring that on me

    I wouldn't marry in the first place. If/when I meet someone I would consider spending the rest of my life with, I trust enough in my own judgment of character that a prenup wouldn't be necessary to begin with.

    if i've learned one useful thing in my life, it's that i'm incapable of judging other people's character.
