[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well we married income peers. I wonder why you’re choosing to date someone so different than you. [/quote]. Because she is hot as hell!  Same reason I married my wife who never had any income potential...I just got the prenup.[/quote]

So PP, aren't you curious about why your wife would sign a prenuptial leaving her with no alimony after spending her best years providing childcare and household chores for your children while you work? [/quote]

She did almost no household chores...we had an army of nannies doing everything in the house from day one.

Much of the childcare has been provided by the nanny.  I do more parenting than she does. as I have not had to work in many years due to my favorable financial situation.

I was always upfront that I would never get married unless there was an alimony waiver in the prenup.  If you don't like it marry someone else.[/quote]

No snark meant, but how is that even a marriage? What’s the point? You’re “marrying” someone you obviously don’t trust and you remove all downsides of keeping a commitments through a side letter to a marriage contract. Why even bother?

For the OP, if you tend to focus on the worst possible outcome generally in life, you would do well to spend some time with a (good!) therapist.[/quote]

Prenups are common among high net worth people.  You can define marriage the way you want.  [/quote]

Wealthy people do not become financially destitute after a failed marriage. They just want to keep their money. Nothing wrong with that, but this does not seem to be OP's case.

And most prenups include some alimony if the financial difference between the couple is wide ( OP is okay with wife being SAHM so it would be large). You should be ready to provide some alimony or not plan on your wife staying home which is what OP is doing. It does not sound like he is rich enough to provide alimony if she stays home. So he should spell that out in no uncertain terms. She needs to get a career ASAP.[/quote]
