[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SO and I are late 20s. I'm in tech, earn and saved well. Net worth is approaching $1M (no house). SO is in medical residency, has close to no net worth and will likely be in that state (specialization, etc.) for a while. We currently live together, vibe well and talking about marriage. I foot all the bills (except for share of rent which SO's parents pay).

Assuming we get married, once SO starts working, I'll have to take a secondary role - move to where their job would be, be the primary caregiver for any kids, step down on my career track, etc. all of which I'm OK with. At the same time I'm concerned (having see it happen) that if we were to get divorced at some point, I'd end up splitting my net worth prior to marriage and get close to nothing from SO's savings. SO does come from a wealthy family (only child) and is set to inherit a lot more than what I would inherit or save.

Wondering if I should consider a pre-nup.. Would growth on my net worth also be covered by the pre-nup typically? Looking for thoughts from folks who may have gone through a similar situation before. [/quote]

Actually kind of sacrifices you are supposed to make financially with a decade of him being in low income and time consuming training, it makes sense to be secure with a prenup, more so as you've to move, have babies and such for him.

Many many physicians (of both genders) divorce spouses who propped them up all the years of education and training with money, care and logistical support, right before they start earning big bucks and go marry someone new. [/quote]
