She’s Offended That Her Fiancé Asked For A Prenup To Protect “His Business” Because She Has Been Working At His Company For Free For Seven Years
This woman and her fiancé have been together for eight years and have been engaged for five years. They’ve also known each other for over 25 years and were set to tie the knot back in 2020.
But, due to COVID-19, their wedding was delayed. So now, they are planning to get married in three weeks.
Just yesterday, though, her fiancé completely caught her off guard when he claimed that he wanted a prenup to protect “his business.” The real kicker? She has been managing his construction business for the past seven years.
She has worked jobs, created contracts, communicated with customers, and even completed manual labor when he was short-handed.
“I have put a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and finances into his company,” she said.
“I went to college, on financial aid and student loans, for an accounting degree to further assist him.”
Not to mention, despite being solely responsible for paying back her loans, she has been working for free for her fiancé’s company all these years!
And now that they are about to tie the knot, her fiancé believes that they need to “protect themselves.”
But, since she has worked for him without collecting any income, and everything they own is in his name, she feels like the prenup is extremely unfair.

Her fiancé tried to justify his request by claiming that if she decided to start an accounting firm one day, a prenup would protect her, too. But still, she just cannot understand why her fiancé would feel the need to “protect himself” from her.
“I am offended, shocked, and hurt,” she admitted.
She also asked her fiancé why he seemed to have trust issues all of a sudden and why he even wanted to get married if he was dead set on having a prenup.
After all, they already share joint accounts and have been living together– as if they were husband and wife– for the last seven years.
“If he’s so worried about ‘what ifs’ and already thinking we’re gonna end in divorce, why bother getting married? We can just live together forever, and he’s protected. What’s the difference?” she vented.
Her fiancé, on the other hand, accused her of overreacting and blowing this whole thing out of proportion.
So now, she’s not sure whether getting offended by the fact that her fiancé wants a prenup was actually justified or not.
Is it concerning that she has worked for her fiancé for seven years yet never gets paid, and everything is still in his name? Do you think signing this prenup is a good idea? Can you understand why she’s offended? How should she handle this situation?
