[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you are entitled to set aside $1 million for your parents. Holding it from your fiancée is messed up. You should be going over your finances with a fine toothed comb before getting married. Get a prenup. Give her plenty of time to go over it with a lawyer.

You need to start thinking like a team. Right now, you’re tweeting to pull one over on her. Therapy gets recommended a lot on this board, but in this case it’s warranted. WHY, in the name of all things holy, do you think it’s appropriate to hide $1 million from the women you think you love? That’s really, really messed up. Or you’re a troll. If this is real, you need help.[/quote]

OP here.  [b]Why would my wife need to know about my financial situation, aside from I am neither in debt nor gambling? [/b] I make 400K/yr, and she makes 100k/yr.  I always wanted to give 1M to my parents because they adopted me from China when I was two years old.  They did not have a lot of money when they adopted me, and gave me every opportunity to succeed.  Would that make any difference if I gave my parents that 1M before I met my wife to be vs. after I met my wife to be?  [/quote]

I wouldn't marry someone if I didn't understand his/her total financial situation. And you are proposing beginning a marriage with a giant secret. Rest assured, eventually it will come out. And that after all the responses, you still are convinced you should do this is telling that you are stubborn and/or have low EQ that you can understand that this is a really bad idea.[/quote]
