Prenups do not have to be unfair. Your “just in case” this marriage doesn’t work doesn’t mean you walk away with nothing, it just means you walk away with less and if you come into the marriage with less, that just seems fair to me. Practically speaking, the parents money isn’t yours. His handouts through the parents are not yours and anything you guys build together is split.

I am going through a separation right now. My parents gave me cash to help buy us a home 10 years ago, in addition to what I had saved up. My wife had 0 savings and her parents didn’t help out at all. She is still walking away with about $60k per year for 5 years and for the last 2 years she has had no job. Thank god for the prenup I had.

I think every partnership should spell out exactly who is bringing in what and what they are walking away with. I’d hate to argue over my dog, that she doesn’t even like, and that I had since before meeting her, just because she wants to spite me.
