Don’t sign prenups that trap you while protecting your partner.

While I do agree prenups are important when people with vastly different assets marry, because the thing is, everyone who has grown to regret the way they handled the prenup stage trusted their partner at that time. EVERY SINGLE ONE. Do not think you COULDN’T POSSIBLY be a person who could in any way misjudge a character. Do not COMPLIMENT yourself by saying you can say, for certain, that you are not being bamboozled. It’s not about TRUSTING THEM; it’s that you MUST have the sanity to NOT TRUST YOURSELF 100% in this situation. Smarter people than you have been had, trust me.

Remember this: It’s not that I don’t trust YOU; it’s the fear that I actually do, and I cannot see a flaw, I cannot see the danger, and it scares me. Therefore, there MUST BE a prenup.

Don’t think that a poorer person who is willing to sign any prenup that THEIR LAWYERS have put together is a good sport. That might make it so that no matter how unhappy you are in a marriage, you won’t be able to get out of it without selling your own blood to Satan himself. (Although there are people I’d trust less than Satan these days, but…)
