Why wont Women marry me just because i want them to sign a pre-nuptial agreement?
I've worked hard all my life and have massive savings of around a quater of a million pounds saved. I've busted my self to death working for that money.
I've fell in love with 3 women in my life, and i've asked each one to marry me, but they wont agree to a pre-nup?
I just think it would be unfair if she fell out of love with me, filed for divorce and some how think she's entitled to half the money i worked hard for.
I tell them that i will give them money that they need to live, and i would never let them go without a home and food, and i would support them, but i don't see why a woman would have any right to 125,000 pounds of my money.
My fiance's have claimed that they don't want to marry me because they have legal right to half of everything when we're married and that if i don't trust them, we shouldn't get married, but i can retort with the fact that if they aren't just marrying me for my money, they'd sign the agreement! And that's what i'm talking about!
Lima beans, a quater of a million pounds may not be that much to you, but to some people that's a river of money!
Remember, 250k is what i have in cash, and that's on top of my house, car and everything i own. So technically, i have about 500k worth of possessions.

There could be any number of reasons for these women not wanting to sign a pre-nup. Of course, you have the right to protect your assets, but using this 'right' hasn't brought you happiness. There are men who have given up kingdoms; and far more than you have, for the love of a woman who brought them more happiness than any "riches" could. I hope you find the love of your life one day and realise far more than you do now. Good luck.

I think the fact that they won't sign the pre-nup is a definite sign that they were only after your money. You are better off without them. I for one would willingly sign a pre-nup as I feel that what ever is yours before the marriage should stay yours and what is mine should stay mine. Now what ever was accrued after the marriage, if both partners worked for it, should be shared. I personally would not go into a marriage without a pre-nup and that has caused me not to date much either. Good luck to you finding a woman who is not a gold digger.

They might find it insulting because they are thinking that you believe yall will divorce. But the reality is: over 50% of marriges end in a divorce. You have the right to keep half your stuff if yall do divorce. They are just as bad as you for not signing. They are basically saying if i divorce you- i want half your stuff. If their thinking there will be a divorce- then it wont work out in the first place.

There are several possibilities here that may apply to one or all of them.
1. They are gold diggers only marrying you for your assets.
2. They are insulted by the fact that you have doubts to their intentions.
3. They just do not believe in prenups and have very traditional values.
4. They believe they are in love with you and have good intentions, yet subconsiously are more attracted to your money and possessions than they are with you.
It is your right to protect your possessions, so if they will not marry you with a prenup tough. Stick to your guns, do not back down under any circumstances.

That's really not that much money, so the fact that you ask them to sign is insulting. If you were making millions a year and had substantial assets, then I'm sure they wouldn't mind. It's laughable to ask someone to sign for that little amount of money. Makes you seem selfish and insecure.
*I happened to have signed a prenup, but it was never about personal assets. My husband needed to protect his companies, should anything happen. I have full rights to everything else, as he has full rights to all that I have. Marriage is a partnership where things are shared. There is no "yours and mine" it all becomes "ours". The only men who are really worried about gold diggers are the ones with no real gold anyway. The ones with the real money are smart enough to see through that very quickly.

The answer is this.
It is difficult enough to trust your head and your heart enough to take the leap of faith necessary for marriage and many people consider a prenuptial agreement as an extension of one person's belief in the eventual demise of the marriage...
You are supposed to be thinking of love, flowers, wedding gowns, reception appetizers, and where you want to live... not about securing your assets for the eventual demise and failure of a marriage that has not even taken place yet.
I do not care if you are Bill Gates, I would not sign one before I got married.

On one hand, I do understand your plight. I am about ten years away from retirement, and I will ask any man who marries me to sign a pre-nup which entitles him to none of my pension (the equivalent of roughly the interest on 1.3 million dollars/year). I agree that I have busted my tail for this (by myself) without his/her support. By the same token, I would not go after my loved one's retirement either as both of us at this stage of the game would have arrived at the same spot (that far into our careers) without the support of the other.
I agree most women are after the free lunch (I am a female). If more women went pursued careers instead of Mrs. degrees - maybe you would find one who brought the same ideals to the table? (as well as the same amount of savings).
If you, however, are dating them strictly for looks, you are going to have to pony up for the trophy wife - they ain't cheap and they will take your money.

Smart boy. There's a saying that marriage is slavery to women, but divorce is slavery to men.
Keep waving the prenuptial in front of your girls. It will show who is there to love you and who is there for your cash.

(Most) women are taught to be money grubbers, so if they have to sign they can't take you for 1/2, so what is their point. been there done that.
