[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It all depends on the big picture. Is OP making $500k a year? What is their net worth? Could be that this is a nit-picky problem, or it could be causing financial ruin. We don't know without the full picture.

I find it odd that one spouse doesn't know the finances of the other - that makes me worried WRT goals like retirement and college, AND possible debt. Not sure that a pre-nup would get rid of that debt. [b]The pre-nup bit is a marker too - either there is a LOT of money somewhere, or financial issues before they got married. [/b][/quote]

Yeah the pre-nup likely makes OP look bad, which is why she hasn’t addressed it. She only revealed it after chiding her foe the folly of separate accounts, and I think that was a slip up. [/quote]

Op here. I really am not bothered about what people think of my pre nup. I had some real estate before I got married and wanted to preserve it in my name. I’m not Uber wealthy at all (pre nups are not just for billionaires) but I got married in my 30s and knew I wanted some guardrails.

And honestly now I am VERY happy we have a pre nup. If I divorce- and I really don’t want to- I won’t end up supporting DH. [/quote]
