Easter probably was not the right time to debate prenups. However, it seems that this author had a bold and shameless future sister-in-law, but as the story unfolds, it seems that nearly everyone involved in this tale has a bold and shameless personality. Let's just say that we do not foresee this marriage going over well in the long run.

Now, I have sympathy for the fact that there is often never a good time to discuss sensitive family matters. Furthermore, there is an energy around family gatherings where all the hidden and buried feelings come bubbling to the surface, and it becomes nearly impossible to bite your tongue. Keep scrolling below for this 27-year-old's conflict with her brother's fiancée. It's hard to imagine this family easily recovering from a dispute about inheritance before the wedding even happens…

  • On the one hand, you can't help but feel sorry for this lady's kids from her previous marriage because the last thing they deserve is to be treated like second-class citizens by their new extended family. On the other hand, this woman does seem a bit manipulative and entitled. Furthermore, one has to wonder where the parents were in this situation since it's their money everyone is fighting over!

    I (27F) have a brother (33M) who has been dating his girlfriend Sarah for 2 years and he proposed a couple of moths ago.

    Sarah has 2 kids from her previous relationship 8M & 6F. I would say that my parents and I are not very close to Sarah and her kids but we are cordial and never had any problems before.

    My partner, I, bro and Sarah attended the Easter dinner at my parents and that's when the drama happened. Sarah's kids were at their father's so Sarah used this celebration to confront

    us about my brother requesting a prenup. Basically my brother explained to her that he expects them to sign a prenup and that only his biological kids will have the right to inherit anything from our family assests. This is

    something that we as a family discussed before and we all agree that only our children should receive assests or money from our inheritance. My brother

    Sarah claimed that we are being unfair and that we are treating her and her kids like some strangers instead of embracing them like family. She said that the normal and decent thing to do

    was for us to see her kids like my brother's kids who should have equal rights to any children they may have together. I told her sure, after she gets married to my brother she will become our in law and her kids will be my brother's stepchildren but this

    There was a lot more back and forth between us and Sarah was not letting this go. My brother asked her to stop because we were there to celebrate Easter,

    She is free to work her a off and gather assets to leave to her children but we will never divide anything outside of our family and she should not expect her children to be our problem or burden to finance.

    I honestly feel she is very manipulative and is using my brother for what she and her kids can get from him but that's my brother's problem to decide if this is the kind of partner he wants. I just want to know if I was too blunt in telling her the truth.

    CSurvivor9 2h ago Since you're talking about inheritance from your parents, what you've all decided previously and all want to continue is certainly up to you. Your brother having a prenup and a detailed will is a good idea.

    Since she brought it up and wouldn't let it drop, NTA. But, your title is suggestive of more than that. You'll still give gifts to her kids the same as their kids if they have them, right? You're not going to be obvious they are second class citizens, right?

    of line for making this an issue. If your brother doesn't get a prenup he will definitely regret it if they split.

    nim_opet 2h ago . ESH. This is your parents' money and none of your business. To top it off, it's your brother's prenup, and his relationship, so again... none of your business.
