[quote=Anonymous]I'm recently engaged to a wonderful man from a family that is very successful. My family has done well but not like his. I have a great education, a very good job and I'm financially very independent. I recently received a letter from my fiancés family's attorney that laid out a long list of expectations such as child rearing along with the financial ramifications if the marriage doesn't work out. I was really upset with the letter but understood that this is something that wealthy families do. I told my fiancé that how we raise our children is up to us and no one else and that I'm much more financially secure than he is, in terms of our jobs, and that I have no interest in his family's money. I didn't say that I wouldn't sign a prenup but i said I was going to get legal advice but he needed to pay for it and that I wasn't going to commit to a wedding date until the whole thing was resolved. He got angry at my attitude and then his parents got angry. My Dad likes to keep things simple and told me to simply say a prenup was a no go. He likes my fiancé but believes that marriage vows are all that is important. I agree with my Dad but I'm sure my fiance's parents will stand firm. I really want to tell my fiancé no prenup but i fear his parents vote will rule the day. He's an artist and his parents provide a lot of support so going against them would be difficult for him. Is there a middle ground?[/quote]
