[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make a ton of money.   A fair amount of women would be willing to do the bulk of of the child/household work, so long as you make plenty to provide a good lifestyle and house help when she needs/wants it, since you aren’t willing to pitch in.  She will also want to make sure, in the event of divorce, that her “half” will be still be a lot and keep her comfortable , since she pretty much gave up a career and even if she goes back to work, so won’t make nearly what she could have or once did.[/quote]

OP here. I was in a relationship that just ended here I thought I found the one. We were very in love and happy but she refused to sign a prenup. I own multiple businesses and have a decent net worth. A prenup is non-negotiable. Most women do not want to sign one. [/quote]

Do you realize the wealth you brought into the marriage with you is yours upon a divorce, right? It is the money earned during the marriage that is split in half.

I would have been willing to sign a prenup, possibly, if the terms were fair. But if you are expecting a woman to give up her career to raise your future kids, it better be fair.

I personally would be have okay with your scenario if you earned enough to make it worth giving my my own career. I think you need to explicitly state the familly you envision early in dating or it is going to be hard to find.

I was married for 10 years. Early 40s now. My ex and I were never on the same page about a future. I wanted to take just a few years off from work to raise kids IF there were kids. I was not willing to be a full-time worker and a full-time mom. I have a terrible commute. It was sheer misery. I would have liked someone who would have been willing to support a family. I either wanted a more SAHM life or a full-time career. Not both. People like me are out there, but you are going to have to find a practical person willing to sign a fair pre-up. [/quote]
