I Don't Want My Fiance to Think I'm "Using Him." But Taking This Step Before Our Marriage Is Nonnegotiable.
Briefly

Marriage considerations can be complicated by financial backgrounds and experiences with divorce. Prenuptial agreements, while necessary for some, can create discomfort due to societal perceptions and familial implications. Discussions about equitable contribution based on income disparities are essential for financial harmony. The concern over being perceived as opportunistic in relationships is highlighted, particularly when children and varying financial contributions are involved. Couples must navigate legal and emotional dimensions to ensure a balanced partnership.
I would want a prenup, even if my partner-to-be was the loaded one.
Prenups are always portrayed negatively in movies, and his sister hinted this meant I wasn't committed to our marriage.
I'm not willing to float along without a plan (my cousin recently lost a fully paid-off house in her divorce).
If we do feel we can't be together anymore in 10 years, I don't want to be some jerk who used him for five years of "free" child care.
