She Was Engaged To A Man 20 Years Older Than Her, But They Broke Up After She Refused To Sign A Prenup

A 28-year-old woman was engaged to a man 20 years older than her, and she first met him while she was in college.

Back then, her fiancé already was a multi-millionaire, and quite successful. She was in a relationship with her fiancé for just a year before he convinced her to quit college and her part-time job.

She listened to him and then moved into his place. Her fiancé convinced her that he wanted to provide for her and didn't want her to be working as hard as she did.

Instead of college and her job, she essentially became a stay-at-home housewife for her fiancé; doing all of the cleaning, errands, and cooking.

"I know it was a stupid idea to quit my job because my boyfriend told me so," she explained. "But I was young and blinded by love; back then, I thought it was incredibly romantic."

6 years went by, and she was happy to be with him. He was always kind to her, and he always bought her presents or anything she desired.

3 months ago he popped the question, and she felt so lucky to be engaged to him.

"But then, he brought up the topic of prenup a month ago," she said. "He said it’s good insurance, just like how people buy car insurance."

"But I felt cheated, he never even mentioned the idea of prenup throughout the 7 years of our relationship."

She was so beside herself that she left their house to go stay with one of her friends, where she still is right now.

After she left, she saw that her fiancé's friends were posting things on Facebook about golddiggers, which she was convinced was all directed at her.

She couldn't believe that her fiancé expected her to sign a prenup, and she was concerned that if they did get married only to divorce one another, she would be left with nothing.

She didn't have a job, she didn't have money of her own, and she didn't even have a place of her own either.

"...I gave up everything I have to be with him," she said. "I’m not even worth 50% of his money. I thought he should be willing to bear some risk for me, too."

She completely relied upon her fiancé for everything. She figured if her fiancé really did love and trust her, he didn't need to get her to sign a prenup.

Well, he didn't see things her way, and they fought about it so much that they broke up.

After the end of her engagement, she can't help but wonder if it was "entitled" of her to not agree to a prenup.

Do you think she was right to stand her ground, at the expense of her engagement?
