Wife's husband makes millions, he asks for a post-nup to protect his assets, but she's "confused" and doesn't feel the need for a post-nup because she would never hurt him.

Derek1382 · 2017-12-26T18:39:33+00:00

I would never, never, never hurt my husband even if our relationship ended so I don't feel the need for a postnup at all

Right now she might even believe it, however notice how the operating word is "feel". She "feels" that right now she'd never hurt him, so a postnup doesn't make sense. If and when the divorce comes, her feelings will "evolve" and she'll suddenly realize "how much she sacrificed to enable his career", so she'll "feel" entitled to a big chunk of the money "they" made. Her relatives, friends and lawyer will make sure to "help her" consider "what she's entitled to".

Daniel is smart and I hope he pushes this through one way or another.

"We" bought a nice house.

Our lives have improved with "this" money.

She already knows exactly what she wants, at least at some level of consciousness. What happens over the next weeks/months/years is the slow usurpation of her human forebrain by the monkey instincts deep below. All the human's job now is to save face/protect the ego consciousness. The slow calculations begin.

garbagejooce · 2017-12-27T05:20:22+00:00

One of my favorite comments by the succubus:

This is great advice, thank you. The thing is - I’m perfectly willing to sign a post up that would give me 45% of everything in case of a divorce (rather than 50% I would be entitled to now) if it meant protecting his businesses and giving him peace of mind. But I’m not gonna just sign everything away so I’m discarded as the starter wife. I stand to gain nothing by signing even a generous post up because I’ll get more without it, but I want to fight and keep my marriage.

Oh wow! You're willing to only take 45%!!! How amazingly generous of you. Seeing as it's totally half yours (in the moral, ethical sense).

AstuteBlackMan · 2017-12-26T20:14:17+00:00

I saw this post. It's crazy how the money changes things. I'm pretty sure the husband or the husbands associates know this and understands it's better to protect yourself in these cases.

The woman is acting kinda dumb. If she knows the relationship is fine why is she worried about signing it?

boogalooshrimp1103 · 2017-12-26T19:53:42+00:00

He's fucked either way. Id say best case scenario is he should split now before she gets pregnant and take whatever financial hit he's gonna take while he's still young enough to recover from it

Drumcode-Equals-Life · 2017-12-26T19:51:25+00:00

He's always paid the majority of the bills, I'll admit that

Yet the hamster will still rationalize she's entitled to half his net worth...

WISE_TURD · 2017-12-26T19:44:59+00:00

Well played by the woman. She's a machiavellian. Let's all learn from this dude's mistake.

Her playing dumb is the correct response from her standpoint. She already bought low, why would she sell at the price she bought at when the asset value increased so much???

The dude's probably getting pussy thrown at him (due to his sudden increase in smv) and is planning an exit strategy. She's either too stupid to realize or she's a crafty little bitch. Not even sure what's worse, as I find both to be insufferable.

I'm thinking this dude's a nerd that will be tempted by pussy (which never used to happen), cheat on his wife, and she'll take him to the cleaners. 50/50 chance whether he wifes up the hot slut shortly thereafter. BB attracts succubus bitches.

He only has himself to blame for not understanding that men age like wine and women age like milk.

She played the game right, he played it wrong. Poor bastard.

she may not want to hurt him but her lawyer wants to ruthlessly ass rape his current and future earning potential.

i hope he fucked her a lot bc he's abt to find out just how much pussy actually costs.

IVIaskerade · 2017-12-26T19:21:21+00:00

In five years, she'll have half of his millions and she'll be out on the town pretending "she's still got it" while competing with the 22 year old gorgeous girls she envies.

AFuckYou · 2017-12-26T22:24:49+00:00

I like how she says he "came into" a lot of money. Like whoops, he got rich. It was his work with his friend that made the money.

Gotta love this. She didn't pay a dime on the new house, but it's "WE" who bought it lol. Women.

Rainliberty · 2017-12-26T21:31:09+00:00

This guy fucked himself by bringing it up in the first place. If you have the type of mindset that you would ask for something like this. You do it before you get married. The basis for any relationship, married or not is trust. He just let her know he doesn't trust her. This probably won't end well.

you don't know a woman until you've met her in court

momomotorboat · 2017-12-27T01:35:10+00:00

Something that gets totally overlooked but I think helps swallow the pill:

Have you ever looked at a marriage license?

You know what word NEVER shows up on one? LOVE. Not even once.

A legal marriage is a contract under the supervision of the state. It has nothing to do with your emotions. Those are entirely immaterial to the state. The instant you sign that, what you've effectively done is reported to the state that you are responsible for this other person. Does the state ask if you love them? Fuck. No.

What we've done is equate this act with love, and conflate the two things as if they necessarily go hand in hand. They don't.

Marriage binds you legally. What it does not guarantee is that she won't change her mind. And if she does, then you're at the mercy of a judge. Good luck with that.

See legal marriage for what it is. A contract. Nothing more, nothing less. That's when the lenses get a richer shade of red.

EDIT: a word EDIT 2: Brothers, if there are marriage contracts where the word 'love' or similar sentiments involved, please share! I'm dying to see what municipalities do when the contract has that in the language.

Bkblul · 2017-12-27T04:27:05+00:00

I don't think this is a bad move on his end.

If she's legitimate she'll sign it and the relationship will carry on.

If she doesn't sign it he'll get his answer and get out before he makes some bank/she has kids. I mean he's even giving her a taste of what she could have if she signed (no need to work etc).

Magnum256 · 2017-12-27T08:37:03+00:00

I can understand WHY she'd feel "hurt" or whatever, but it's purely a selfish, emotional response to the situation, not a logical one.

Plus we're missing many details. She frames it as the guy claiming he wants to "protect himself", but given his alleged success, he might have a company now with many people employed, and if she were to divorce him, and he faced a multi-million dollar loss, could ruin his existing business and result in many people losing jobs as well. He might not necessarily just be "protecting himself" (although that is completely valid), he might be protecting much more than that.

Also this part is laughable:

I would never, never, never hurt my husband even if our relationship ended

I'm sure that won't hold true if she suddenly starts "feeling" neglected, if the husband isn't home enough for her liking, or she finds him flirting with one of his secretaries at the Christmas party or whatever.

Sucks for the husband but he's basically fucked. This is the world we live in.

ShinyRedKetoPill · 2017-12-26T19:16:30+00:00

Never marry or cohabit with a woman in the United States or other anglosphere countries if you have any ambitions of achieving financial success. There's a high chance if something goes wrong, you're fucked.

Just look at the comments. They're all saying the money belongs to both of them, even though she contributed nothing to it.

rraadduurr · 2017-12-26T22:09:54+00:00

Going to go against the grain. We know that women are emotional creatures - ignore what they say and watch what they do - so there's really no point in getting analytical about what she wrote in a panicked reddit post. Her ramblings aren't going to tell us much one way or the other.

If the roles we're reversed, we'd say she's already cheating and for him to take his cut and bounce. That could be the situation here and the dude is covering his ass - smart move. The engineer fucked up by getting married without a pre-nup. Him offering a postnup is basically saying "sign or we're done" so he can cut his losses. I'd be impressed if she signs.

ozaku7 · 2017-12-26T20:53:33+00:00

You are completely misinterpreting what she is writing.

I've never asked him for anything now that I wouldn't have asked before. I didn't ask him to buy me a new car or to support me if I quit my job. I've never gone on shopping sprees with his card or anything like that. It just hurts me and honestly I can't help but to think about how now that he's rich he could leave me tomorrow and hook up with some gorgeous 22 year old.

It's not that she didn't ask for him to become rich, it's that she has never asked things that would require his wealth to get. That is exactly what she is writing. She didn't explicitly ask for that car, or a credit card to go on a shopping spree.

Now you have to consider that this woman might actually really love the man for the feels he is giving her and that he has now broken her trust regarding his commitment, which in the end will bite him in the ass. If he was really clever, he would go to a lawyer and learn that pre or postnups are basically invalid and no sane woman would say "sure, it seems that you believe I will leave you, or you might be planning on leaving me, but yeah I will sign that paper that excludes me fucking you over, because why wouldn't I if I have the legal right and I hate your guts anyway at that point?"

He fucked himself that he didn't get a prenup, he fucked himself again because of actually trying a postnup.

[deleted] · 2017-12-27T00:23:31+00:00

So she does absolutely nothing to support him yet she's still going to get half? LOL how pathetic. He's protecting his assets and business because a divorce would only hurt it. Of course if his dumbass didn't get married in the first place then there would be no need for any of this. I can see the hamster spinning already trying to rationalize how she should get half. It's pathetic. I hope this guy opens his eyes.

troezz · 2017-12-27T05:16:38+00:00

RedPillFusion · 2017-12-27T06:07:21+00:00

This guy needs to exercise a lot more discretion with what he tells her. Embedded in his purpose is a self-protection against her, so there's no reason he should expect her to respond any other way.

What I'd do in this situation is play off the post-nup on his business partners - tell her they don't want to get into bed with someone without protection from the risk of her potentially owning half of his portion of the business. He could even tell his wife that all of the business partners signed a contract doing the same. In doing this, he's given her a much more digestible foundation for making the decision, and hasn't created the new risk of a self-fulfilling prophecy with such a candid curveball.

just_a_thought4U · 2017-12-26T18:55:08+00:00

California law says that half his income belongs to her. He has pretty well killed the marriage by asking for this and should just man up and get a divorce.

cjmessier · 2017-12-27T01:02:51+00:00

I'm taking her side. Sounds like a nice woman who got in early, didn't marry for money, etc.

He's better off sticking with her. If he decides to start banging sluts attracted for his money, he's going to be in for a long, miserable life. He should stick it out with her, make sure she's happy without putting her on a pedestal, and cross the road of divorce if and when it presents itself.

If he is so successful, he should be able to hire a good attorney anyway. No need to fuck up loyal LTR because he pocketed a few mil.

ImYourMajesty · 2017-12-27T08:45:35+00:00

Yo i read that yesterday and I was shocked. The only thing that was on my mind was the picture of her taking most of the husbands money after a few years. Like Jesus this guy gave you the life of a queen and you can't even sign some paper for his comfort. And these lawyers at the top comment (there were a few) all recommending her not to sign, wtf is up with those guys. Imagine them in the same situation probably begging for their wives to sign. This is some major blue pillness on their side. The only thing I can say is AWALT.

Dmva100 · 2017-12-26T20:42:45+00:00

This is like a beta going to a model and telling her he wants to impregnate her so no other guys can't have her and she'll be his forevaaarrrrrr.

And then she says no she doesn't want to.

Must go post in relationship subreddit and bemoan her lack of love for meeeee

UndergroundCEO · 2017-12-26T21:02:51+00:00

I'm going down the same path as him myself right now and tbh, I would never get married without a prenup in place in the first place. I hope my future wife doesn't take it as a sign of distrust, it's solely for peace of mind. That same peace of mind he gave you by making you both financially stable is the same piece of mind that he wants to ensure no one has the capability of making him financially unstable. He is doing the right thing. All financially successful people go to great lengths to protect their assets, and if they don't, they're probably not financially successful. Don't think of it as "I wouldn't hurt him, so he shouldn't need one". Think of it more as "I know I wouldn't hurt him, so it doesn't really make a difference to me if he gets one or not". Unless you are a snake in the tall grass then you shouldn't have any problem signing it. Again it's not a distrust thing it's an more of an insurance thing. People get fucked over by the ones they least expected all the time, and safety procedures only work if you follow them with everyone, everytime.

MattyAnon · 2017-12-26T21:01:03+00:00

"and now all of a sudden I feel like he doesn't trust me because he has money."

Ah... the old "trust me" smokescreen, always conveniently used to get something rather than to give something.

I didn't ask him to buy me a new car or to support me if I quit my job. I've never gone on shopping sprees with his card or anything like that.

But still - she had all bills paid and didn't have to contribute much.

And now hubbie wants a post-nup before raising a family.

Damned good plan, but it is unlikely to hold up in court. You can't even get a prenup to hold up if it's signed just before the wedding. Has to be shortly after proposing, otherwise it's seen as "springing this on her at the last second and she's forced to comply". I can't see a postnup working, especially if they then have kids.

A smarter option is "I want to be with you, but we're getting a divorce to protect my assets". If she's ok with that she's not a gold digger. If she objects (and they always do), it's because they see the fortune as half hers already.

It just hurts me and honestly I can't help but to think about how now that he's rich he could leave me tomorrow and hook up with some gorgeous 22 year old.

hahaha well, she's right there.

It's just a really sad feeling. He told me this a few days ago and it ruined my Xmas because I just can't get it out of my head. I would never, never, never hurt my husband even if our relationship ended so I don't feel the need for a postnup at all, but really I'm just sad.

Would never never hurt husband........ but won't put it in writing.

If things end between them, he'll lose millions from his hard work. And all for what? A woman.

The crazy thing is that he paid for her.... and what he gets from that is the obligation to continue paying for her.

Marriage has no upsides for men.

Jonlife · 2017-12-26T23:02:18+00:00

Oh she won't sign it. Her hypergamous nature commands it. Every western woman today is an indoctrinated feminist whether they know it or not. And that she thinks she's entitled to half that money for simply opening her legs is hilarious.

Why he even sat her down in the first place means that she's probably been acting different. Women love to give their side of the story and have mob rule over their partner without anyone hearing his side.

Either way, he's an idiot for ever getting married in the first place. Most people cause their own misery (especially women). This guy is about to learn a hard lesson

hodltaco · 2017-12-27T01:35:56+00:00

Attempting to get a post-nup? You're fucked. Think about it-would you sign one?

This should serve as a cautionary tale: ALWAYS get a pre-nup. 25, broke, and getting married? Get a FUCKING pre-nup. You have no idea where your life is headed so it's as important as condoms.

Oh and if you're getting married...rethink that shit and just don't.

Meterus · 2017-12-26T22:03:09+00:00

xXMaGaMaNXx · 2017-12-27T02:04:08+00:00

If she feels she would never hurt him she should have no problem agreeing to a post nup. She comes off like she wants to be able rob him clean in the event of a divorce

MagnumBurrito · 2017-12-26T21:43:24+00:00

Ha! He married her. She's entitled to half of everything. It's his own fault.

I will say.. well played now with the post-nup. Whatever happens.. she's going to give him some good ass loving until they separate.

TimeBombCanarie · 2017-12-27T03:25:53+00:00

And of course, as per that shitty sub, the comments are all guiding her through the steps to take his money should he file for divorce.

Having the right to spend YOUR money how YOU see it without having to share with someone who did comparatively little to earn it is this man's right. In no way should he be legally obligated to share his wealth with anyone outside of his business partners. But alas, that sub puts "feels" before practical realities every time.

AshyBoneVR4 · 2017-12-27T06:48:58+00:00

and pursue something else. If you wanna go to school, go to school. If you want to focus on raising our future kids, do that.

This man said to go to school, and get a job doing something else so you can support yourself.

We're planning on starting a family in 2018/2019

What a surprise, bitch chose to have kids and be taken care of rather then being able to put her self in a position where she can happily support herself and kids if she needs to. It's sad that most women would rather chose to be taken care of than to better themselves. Yet they turn around and bitch and moan about money but as soon as you ask them about school or education they say that's not for me, or some shit like that.

HE earned the money. She may have facilitated his doing so but that's purely speculative.

I am saying if this guy is deciding to protect himself only so that he can move on and act however he wants (I.e cheat on a girl who's worth it) it is not a stand-up move.

Asset protection for its own sake is noble and wise. Doing so to cover your ass only to proceed to leave her in the dust is not something I'd be proud of on my deathbed, personally.

This guy's future is already looking bleak. The top rated comment from a lawyer told her she doesn't have to sign it. If things end between them, he'll lose millions from his hard work. And all for what?

Marriage might as well be a business partnership. The idea of post nup in this situation is stupid; if you were in a business partnership which suddenly exploded, you wouldnt sign away your half for nothing.

He is acting like a total cunt even offering it to her.

francisco_DANKonia · 2017-12-26T22:04:32+00:00

House Cleaner: 200k a year, Car Washer 200k a year, Personal shopper 500k a year, under contract 2 years paid upfront. The tax implication are hefty but it gets the assets out of his name and into another with a paper trail, she can try and fault him for X reason but she can't take what HE doesn't have.

[deleted] · 2017-12-26T22:37:42+00:00

Seems like the guy can put all of his assets in a trust or "business" with multiple partners which she is not a part of, if she will not sign.. or something like that (I'm not a CPA).

Every state's law varies on this sort of thing, but my understanding is that there are ways to protect ones self. You just need to be clever.

Of course she would never hurt him.... until "something something feelings" and she cuts his dick off.

He deserves to lose everything for

Getting married.
Not getting a prenuptial
Thinking such contracts won't be tossed out in family court.

Fucking moron. I don't have shit. But if you think I will risk my future like that then you're crazy. Women don't care. They'll get your ass for alimony even if you're living in a car in a trailer park.

What a bad move if he genuinely love her tho, told her their relation isn't ''special'' afterall of course she'll want revenge.

Best thing he could do now put some money aside, tell her ''fuck the post-nup babe'', fuck her good and remind her how their bond is special.

blue_27 · 2017-12-26T23:05:04+00:00

Prenups aren't ironclad either. He fucked himself by marrying her. ... The only winning move, is not to play.

bumbuff · 2017-12-27T09:22:39+00:00

He's already out the door in his head and heart.

You think it's hamstering by her but regardless of your TRP opinions, everything that happens post wedding is both of yours. To think otherwise is to deny the reasons why we say no to marriage.

This is a shit post. He made his bed. If he wants out he should go now before he makes more.

Can you give me a link to the post? I'm interested in the comments.

She would never hurt him. She would just take all she can on the way out as a matter of course.

And it's not that now hes rich and doesn't trust her, he never trusted her, he just has something worth protecting now.

[deleted] · 2017-12-27T02:53:53+00:00

Even if she does sign the post nuptial agreement, it would only apply to those assets he earned after she signed. Whatever he earned between the marriage and the effective date on the post-nup is legally joint property. So that was his first mistake.

His second mistake was quitting his job to work on the side projects that were ultimately successful while she was still working as a teacher. She has a decent argument that he was only able to leave his job in the first place because her job provided health insurance, other benefits, and a small safety net in the form of her income.

She has no incentive to sign the post-nup. And he has no leverage because she can walk now with half of their assets.

He made a mistake. He has to own his mistake and decide if he wants to remain married or not.

No woman with a brain is gonna sign a post-nup. Like others have said, as soon as she signs it he could be gone tomorrow with a hot new 20 something and keep all his $. But of course from his standpoint, she could be gone tomorrow with half his $ and get engaged to the pool boy.

The game is already over and she won it - his SMV now probably greatly surpasses hers.

There really should be a limit to how much a spouse can get. Like if you become a multi-millionaire and she divorces just because she doesn’t love you anymore, you really should only have to pay out a livable wage like maybe $50,000 per year - why does she get to enjoy a lavish lifestyle that was 100% thanks to you.

KJH77 · 2017-12-27T07:48:58+00:00

The guy is an idiot. End of story. What a stupid and corrosive move for his marriage. What an autist.

He's afraid she may screw him over if the marriage ends. There's either a reason for that, or there isn't.

So, if he's on to something and she's given him some reasons to think she's going to leave and divorce rape him, the move there is to make her think he has nothing. And he has to actually make sure he has nothing. He needs to sell out of his company and put the money in a foreign bank account. Literally sail to the Bahamas with a briefcase full of 100s, if necessary. Then transfer it to Switzerland. He'll lose a chunk, but not 75%.

Then get divorced. Then start a new company.

It sounds like his heart isn't in it anyway, and she doesn't deserve shit just because he had good ideas.

Siskiyou · 2017-12-26T22:25:31+00:00

Why would anyone sign such a thing? Would he be willing to sign something saying she did not have to take care of him if he got ill? Getting married means you have to take care of each other through the good times and the bad...

I don’t agree with the people here.

He told her to quit his job and be reliant on him. Then he wants to take away the safety net. That’s what marriage was for. Seems somewhat resonable to me in the case where he asks her to become financially dependent and is already married without a pre-nup.

P.S. I still agree, don’t get married without a pre-nup. This case might be an exception.

SaveTheRhinos · 2017-12-27T08:10:54+00:00

The amount of beta fucks here thinking this woman is crazy and the problem is astounding. It's very obvious that he's the one wanting to bounce and live that bay area silicon valley lifestyle. Some of you guys need to learn what the red pill is really about and grow the fuck up.

godlesspinko · 2017-12-27T08:55:37+00:00

Hell no, she should NOT sign a post-nup, and that guy is a cretin for asking for one. Before his business partnership, he had a romantic one. One that he wanted (wants?) to raise children with. She supported him emotionally and perhaps in other ways, and now he wants her to sign away their marriage contract because he got more money? He is def. thinking of shopping around for new pussy. Both he and op apparently view women as less important than money. He just introduced that materialism to their relationship and fucked it up. Thoughtless, uncaring and reckless.

BlackVale · 2017-12-26T20:50:34+00:00

What advice did you get from older men?

hyugafan · 2017-12-27T03:34:53+00:00

The guy is making the best of a bad decision: getting married. The mantra of Never Marry is unfortunately hard to uphold for a lot of men. However, I am a firm believer in « If you do something wrong, do it the right way. ».

The rest is typical hamstering, inability to see long-term risks/consequence, etc. There’s a reason he’s the industrialist and she’s the trophy wife.

ummwtfiswrongwithyou · 2017-12-27T14:43:45+00:00

That's. Not. How. Marriage. Works. "For better or worse. For richer or poorer. In sickness and health."

HUGE red flag indicating he's about to start fucking around big time. If my husband asked for a post nup he would get divorce papers, and I would expect the same if I were to ask him for one.

Title	Wife's husband makes millions, he asks for a post-nup to protect his assets, but she's "confused" and doesn't feel the need for a post-nup because she would never hurt him.
