She Made Her Fiancé Sign A Prenup, Which Included An “Infidelity Clause,” And He Became Very Offended And Claimed It Was Disrespectful
This woman is currently engaged, but she already makes a very generous income, and she only expects her earnings to grow in the upcoming years. Plus, she has invested some of her capital and knows that she will see strong returns as her investments mature. So, she realizes that she is “reasonably wealthy.”
Given that she will soon be tying the knot, though, her stable financial state has also been making her a bit nervous.
“I’m emphasizing this to highlight that, in the event of a divorce, I have a lot to lose,” she said.
That’s why, after getting engaged to her fiancé, she made it crystal clear that she wouldn’t get married without having a prior agreement in place to protect her finances. Back then, her fiancé was on board with this, too.
But, now that their wedding is inching closer and closer by the day, her fiancé has apparently gone back on his word.
“I think he just said what he needed to convince me to accept the marriage,” she revealed.
“And he probably didn’t think I was serious, but I certainly was.”
So, she actually spoke to her lawyer and was able to get a “very solid” prenuptial agreement drafted based on all of her concerns. Additionally, her lawyer suggested adding an “infidelity clause,” too, which was something she’d never even considered before.
Nonetheless, she accepted that clause and wound up telling her fiancé to review the prenup with his own lawyer. Then, they could all discuss and reach terms that are “mutually acceptable.”

Well, her fiancé just became super offended that she even thought a prenup was necessary.
“To say he got upset would be an understatement, and he was particularly offended by the infidelity clause,” she recalled.
“I certainly did not expect his reaction from him.”
And even though her fiancé ultimately signed the prenup anyway, his reaction has left her with some major doubts about even asking for the agreement in the first place.
Apparently, he accused her of disrespecting their relationship and basically expecting their marriage– and him– to fail. She swore that wasn’t true and tried to point out how life was simply unpredictable.
“And anything can happen at any time, so I am just trying to protect my financial future in case of a divorce,” she added.
Regardless, her fiancé’s hesitation to sign the prenup and his reaction– particularly to the infidelity clause– has still left her feeling uneasy. So now, she can’t help but wonder if making him sign a prenup before they tie the knot was really the wrong thing to do.
Do you think she made the right decision by protecting herself and her assets? Are prenups disrespectful or a responsible precaution to take? What would you have done in her shoes?
