When I decide to marry someone, I am not going to treat her like a security or an asset or some other financial instrument -- she's a human being. I think the concept of a pre-nup is evil and derogatory Well, what exactly is the "rationale" behind getting upset by a pre-nup? A pre-nup means two things: -- You acknowledge the very real possibility that your marriage might come to and end. -- In case it ends, the guy doesn't want to part with half of everything he owns (and possibly alimony etc). So, do you get offended because your guy "doesn't think it will last"? When someone in a job interview asks you "where do you see yourself in 5 years", you probably think it's a silly question. Do you honestly think you can predict how things will feel 5 years from now, let alone for the rest of your life? As Prince said, electric word, life - it means forever, and that's a mighty long time. Or, do you get offended because your guy doesn't feel like he'd happily give you half of everything in case you do get divorced, because that obviously means he doesn't really truly love you, right? As a man, you could turn the whole thing around and declare that any woman who declines a pre-nup is not worth marrying because she only thinks of you as a bag of money - a financial instrument, if you will. To me, both of these reasons for getting offended by a pre-nup are just nonsense.
