After six years together and two years engaged, the woman and her fiancé, who was 40, had a “deal breakers” talk to discuss issues that left little room for compromise, including the woman’s stance against signing a pre-nup.
A Gold Digger?
But when his family, particularly his mother, continued to bring it up and even presented an actual pre-nup for the woman to sign, she stood up for herself and was accused of being a gold digger, leading to a family feud and her fiancé’s anger at her perceived emasculation.
Pre-Nup First!
As the woman and her fiancé prepared for their future together, they had an honest conversation about their values and non-negotiables, including the woman’s stance against a pre-nup.
Dinner and a Contract
However, despite their agreement, his family continued to push the issue, with his mother even drafting a pre-nup and presenting it to the woman at a family dinner.
A Rude Encounter
The woman, feeling disrespected and belittled, stood up for herself, pointing out that she had no need for a pre-nup as she was the more successful partner, making four times as much as her fiancé and having already paid off her student debt and acquired ample savings and property.
He Would Gain More!
She even went so far as to suggest that her fiancé was the one with more to gain from a pre-nup, leading to a tense exchange with his family.
He Was Humiliated
Despite her successful rebuttal, her fiancé was left feeling emasculated and angry with her, accusing her of being rude and out of line. He felt that her comments had humiliated him in front of his family, causing them to make jokes and change his contact information to “gold digger.”
Questioning Her Relationship
The aftermath of the incident left the couple at odds with each other, with the woman feeling unsupported by her fiancé and his family, and questioning the true nature of their relationship.
Do They Actually Know Each Other?
As they attempted to reconcile, they were forced to confront the underlying issues of trust and respect that had been exposed by the pre-nup incident, leaving them to question whether they truly knew each other as well as they thought they did.
The Internet Responded
One person wrote, “If there’s anything “emasculating” here, it’s that your fiance can’t keep mommy out of his relationships even as he approaches 40.”
Another said, “Honestly, I’d get a prenup if I were OP for her own sake.”

This person wrote, “I’d get a prenup if I was them too. I totally understand the argument that it’s kinda setting up to fail but eh, they have a lot to lose. And mil will be in the corner making sure they do I’m sure.”
A Final Comment
Lastly, this commenter wrote, “He also missed a brilliant opportunity to brag on her– i.e. how amazing he must (should) be to have attracted someone like her, she’s so amazing, where are their amazing gf/fiancées, etc. The fact he went straight to silence followed by attack doesn’t look well on him, at all. Get out while the getting is good.”
